Project 2026: Verbolten: Forbidden Turn
- Thread starter Le Moose
- Start date
If recent events have taught us anything, they will add a few extra props and keep all effects on all the time. Heck, even turn on the building lights!
Yay— looking forward to another round of shirts with fart jokes 
Mr. Busch is rolling in his grave.
As long as they don’t ad a German “now hiring” sign to create even more questionable merchandise worthy of the Seaside Boardwalk…

I’m pretty sure if this is project 2026, then we should be expecting an external company to come in and install a retheme.
I can't help but to think about this discussion concerning the potential of a retheme. I really hope this is part of the finished product not just some new lights and que changes.
I'm pretty confident, at least from a guest-facing perspective, we're only looking at thematic changes with this project. I have not heard any rumors about anything more dramatic.
And it will probably be as well done as the recent upgrade/rethemes to JTA east coast and west coast... 
As much as I liked the Italian Le Mans concept, this at least proves that BGW took notice of how successful Nessie’s retheme was. I’d be more than happy to see this treatment for Pantheon and Alpengeist too
I am hoping local BGW oversight forces their hands more!And it will probably be as well done as the recent upgrade/rethemes to JTA east coast and west coast...
I think more money will be spent on a Verbolten upgrade than a DaVincis garden renovation and the “LeMans” reboot. The park is in serious need of some flat rides to quell long lines for the coasters and add a more varied ride options
Whatever they do, please get rid of the construction company business cards thrown into the queue line theming displays, paint spots where people have made their affinity for our current Administration known, and make it so the inside of the event building isn't so reminiscent of an airport snow equipment barn.
Is this too much to ask? (Yes).

I only get a rattle on the finale after the bridge but I never thought of it as insane?
I personally define a minor inconvenience as pure insanity. So therefore that rattle ruins my entire quarter, much less day.
I rode verbolten the first time this season last weekend and really was surprised at how unsmooth the ride felt compared to memory.
Gonna make some predictions on what this’ll look like and what they’ll change. This isn’t necessarily exactly what I want, more what I think BGW will do.
- Updated queue
- Updated station; maybe a more ominous feel than it currently has
- New dispatch sequence with custom music
- Indoor props replaced
- Show building darkened / Outside light leaking in fixed
- Drop track props are replaced with video screens, maybe with a few simple props like trees between them
- Bridge refurb
- Track repaint; maybe green (EDIT: nevermind lol it just got painted)
Wouldn’t expect much more than that. If done well, I could see it being a Loch Ness II level hit. Though Nessie was easier to impressively improve given it was very lightly themed before. I could see them only updating Bolt a bit and people being mad they didn’t improve it as much as they improved Nessie. Hopefully BGW goes all out!
(I’d also LOVE an extended layout but that chances of that are approximately zero unfortunately)
