Project 2026: Verbolten: Forbidden Turn

[Bring Back Questor 87]

QR code sharing is actually Verboten, not Verbolten

Verbiage? LOL

Saturday 2pm will see the announcement of Verbolt & Verbeautiful -- a whimsy-filled renovation of Verbolten which takes guests on a zippy convertible tour through a lushly colored and brightly lit German mountainside forest. Dappled with sunlight shimmering through the lush canopy above and frequented by peacefully grazing robotic deer on the forest floor below, Verbolt & Verbeautiful will delight riders with one of three randomly selected soundtracks and accompanying visual projections: "Songbirds of Stuttgart," "Prancing Germanlings," or "Woodcutter's Delight." A sprightly, thrilling descent from the ornate fairy treehouse atop the forest's captivating Wundertree will be quickly followed by a magical zip to the top of an antique wooden bridge under loving renovation by a team of smiling werewolf animatronics. From there, Verbolt & Verbeautiful will treat guests to a spirited finale, diving to the Rhine River's edge for a quick hello from a school of singing coin-operated water cannon fish before returning to the visitor center of tour operators Gerta and Gunter Frohwald for a song-filled farewell.

This would actually be a 100% improvement, in all seriousness.

I hope there's a big head fake and they announce Davinci's 2: From the Grave to the Cradle, or Davinci's Cradle: Escape the Storm; or Davinci's 2: Cat's Cradle or Davinci's Cradle: Revenge of Leonardo

Let's not forget about this

Any potential BGW made a last minute purchase from SFA? Would we have seen documentation? Thinking specifically about that NebulaZ, which could fit well in either Italy or Oktoberfest

A Bolt retheme with a new neighboring flat could be a great addition

This is all well and good, but as a hardcore BGW lore enthusiast, the thing I most need to know is whether or not the infamous incest subplot is slated to remain in the ride.

Knowing BGW, it’ll be Verbroken.

If that ever goes away I will riot by playing authentic German John Denver music all day.

Retheme/updated theming = new attraction I guess

If they don't reopen it by June I'm gonna lose it.

They added in a comment:

Guests can experience the original Verbolten now through January 4, 2026. We look forward to welcoming guests on Verbolten: Forbidden Turn later next year.

Hard to tell from the teaser video, but are they just abandoning the clever tourist center storyline in favor of a generic “haunted forest” theme?

No, “Black Forest tours is under new management”

Also, ride closes Jan 5 and opens “spring”. Seems like a very quick turnaround, I hope they can make a good product in that short time

Technically spring could mean any time between March and late May

Still very quick turnaround. 4-5 months to demo the old theming, install new theming, code lights, reach testing, safety testing, op training

 

[MrBradferd]

Not like theres much to demo nowadays xd

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

All the equipment for the old theming is still there, just not turned on lol but that is true… it’s like space mountain in there nowadays

 

[SixFlagsIssues]

I'm hoping by January they'll know exactly what they need to do to make it as quick and as seamless as possible.
