I apologize for coming off as condecending, that was not my intention. My issue is this; with everything going on about Verbolten, the fact that the footers are even being discussed comes across very nitpicky and OCD. I see it as being a ride, and with any ride, the ultimate thing that should only matter is the ride itself. Yes, even theming and decoration are cool, but in the end, they don't really matter that much.

I have to respectfully disagree. There is something to theming and it can be a huge difference. Good theming can make a mediocre to average ride great. Just ask Disney. Their coasters from strictly a layout and track sense are average at best, but what makes coasters like Rock 'N' Rollercoaster and Expidition everst great is that the theming brings it all together.

I guess to summarize, great theming can make a mediocre to average ride great and a great ride fantastic, and that's why theming matters.

P.S. This is a post in general that in no way shape or form means I care about 1 or more footer(s).
 
RE: Verbolten

Don't get me wrong, I love Verbolten's theming and I'm super excited for it. There's only so much it can affect a ride, especially in the context of the the footers.

True, but I bet (at the moment) they look quite unsightly from the Rhine River Cruise...
 
RE: Verbolten

One thing that I like from a theming standpoint with the storage track building is they didn't put walls on this building like the other one's in that are in rest of the park. They give it a car port feeling, since Busch is one of the few parks that have their storage track area in their own buildings for their coasters.

Most other parks skip the extra cost of a building a building over the storage track area. Since a building over this area provides an area for the maintenance crews to work on small projects for the trains out of the public view.
 
RE: Verbolten

Actually that's only one part of the ride's train storage. There's a full maintenance bay with holding areas for two more trains behind the station.

Also, it isn't a standalone building, but Griffon has a "car port" type train storage too - it's just for one car though, and on the side of the maintenance bay.

I did noticed that too. That's what I like about the it, they are able to use both the old and the new.
 
RE: Verbolten

I have already seen people posting on various sites "When's the Verbolton opening?" Or the abomination: "Verboten."

We all knew it was inevitable, just like "The Mach Tower," or Lock Nessy.":mad:
