RE: Verbolten
It's why MT is blue, Griffon is blue, and Alpie is white. They should have been able to get exceptions, but Kingsmill protested.

But they probably protested anyways. Actually, back in the 90's kingsmill wasn't really up in arms about busch building things. It was just the limits imposed by JCC.

Oh the Kingsmill residents threw a fit over Apollo's color scheme. BGW was intent on keeping it though since Greco-Roman mythology depicted Apollo wearing a purple robe and he sat on a gold throne, which became the color scheme of the track and supports.
Kingsmill lost that one!

I think Apollo's was the only one in Roman mythology to wear coloured robes. Don't quote me on it because I haven't done mythology since like 8th grade.

Say hello to Verbolten's current resting place and the drive it takes to get there! Apparently, according to Musicman (since I can't get into the park anymore...or cannn iiiiii) the view of the track is great from the third row of Griffon. I hear you can get an even BETTER view if you walk down Carter's Grove Road courtesy of my ancestors....
Guess keeping the track in the graveyard wasn't safe enough....Though from what I hear it's pretty cluttered back there anyways with the defunct BBW and Le Mans cars as well as Holloscream and Christmas Town stuffs.

Good news: If you pass BG on either 143 or 60 you can see a large crane peeking above the trees in the general area of Verbolten. I think we can expect to finally see more than just concrete, dirt, and rebar this weekend!
