Just a promo video. Poorly done might I add. I don't understand why they wouldn't make a on ride video.

They aren't making a virtual on ride video yet because they don't want to give everything away on how the coaster is going to work. There are way more secrets with this coaster than there were with Griffon. The only reason they did a full video with the Griffon is that all it was was a typical coaster, no surprises or secrets. My thoughts are that the campaign for Verbolten is going to be like Mach Tower, but with a little more detail. From the video it seems like they are going to release a new thing every few weeks, each time a new "reason not to drive through the Black Forest."

RE: Verbolten

here's a GREAT reason not to drive through black forest: the wolves!

a bunch of hungry wolves could chase after the car.

(I think we both know what ride this would be a reference to)

RE: Verbolten

Still, there is so much more they could have released. There has been absolutely no buildup whatsoever about this "announcement" other than the slight blurb that was released last year with Mach Tower. The leaked plans don't count since the general public is still completely dumbfounded.

The reason why parks announce major new attractions at the end of the summer is to entice people to make advance purchases of annual passes and multi-day tickets for the next season.

RE: Verbolten

Great, they actually went with "Verbolten". *sarcastic* And just from seeing that promotional video I can guess what kind of ride were dealing with here.

Sorry for being negative, but I now have little to no excitement for this ride. For those of you who are, I hope you enjoy it.

RE: Verbolten

This announcement was really disappointing........... Now I doubt these "firsts" will even be that awesome.

RE: Verbolten

Without all the details being released I can't say what I think about the ride yet.

That said, I'm glad I didn't waste my time going to the park this morning to see very few details announced!

RE: Verbolten

Actually the presentation up to the actual announcement of Verbolten was great. All the characters for Halloscream was pretty awesome. The build up to the announcement was rather anti-climactic. At the ACE event in May we were told the name would be Verbolten, I was convinced this was all a con to keep people guessing about the name. What was the point of this announcement if you already told people the name, they didn't have any other details or stats listed for the coaster. We got a couple from the questions but the announcement was just lame.

RE: Verbolten

^If I would've gone to the announcement this morning my sole reason would've been just for Verbolten. I'm not big on Howl-O-Scream like I use to be.

And now seeing pics and reading reports of the Howl-O-Scream announcement being great I actually would've been very annoyed at the Verbolten one after that.
