Assuming the green train is on the first block and Orange was on drop track or launch just sitting. It'd have been cool to be in the evac. Lights on!!

Yeah, so cool to wait a really long time to be stopped halfway through the ride and get off...;)
 
RE: Verbolten

I know they left the station in the order of orange, green. I heard orange was on the drop track (scary to evacuate on a dropping segment) and green was on first block break needing clearance for the drop track which didn't happen causing a jam.
 
RE: Verbolten

Yes, but apparently there is a real problem with the MCBR inside the building. I've heard very mixed things about tomorrow but things should be in the clear for Tuesday.

RE: Verbolten

When i ride it on Saturday, we loaded in teh back of the station on the orange train. The train stopped at the front of the station, and the lap bars came unlocked. They made us get off and wait in the line. The ride was down for about 20 minutes. The maintenance workers replaced the green sensor in the front of the station. The maintenance guy whispered to teh guy in the control tower that is at "4 and a half" what ever that means, but the ride was resumed after a 30 minute delay.

I was stuck in the ticket office listening to Fahrt for 30 minutes then we went going again for maybe 10 or 15 minutes then the serious break down.
 
RE: Verbolten

I will be at the park today to get some Verbolten time in. Only got to ride it twice during the soft opening weekend. I will update you guys via twitter on how the ride is doing today. I was about to cancel my trip after all the news yesterday, but it was nice to wake up to the good news that Verbolten will be open. This was about to be Busch Gardens' second straight Memorial Day weekend without having their new attraction open Friday through Monday. Mach Tower wasn't even open last year during Memorial Day Weekend, and Verbolten has been closed since Saturday. Busch knew they had to get this ride open today or it would not look good at all. Hoping to get the Wolf story line today.
 
RE: Verbolten

Spirit and storm suck in my opinion.....now the wolf effects....those are the ones to try and get!

Guys. Verbolten isn't rough. I'm sorry. You know what it does feel like though? A roller coaster. Sigh. Not all rides feel like B&M (which is quickly falling out of my favor). That doesn't make it a bad ride or mean that there's anything wrong with it.

Perhaps you should not give an opinion on how rough the ride is until you physically ride it yourself. Some think it is rough, some don't. But those giving their opinions one way or the other have been on it.
 
RE: Verbolten

people were complaining that BBW was rough too. It's just because people are so used to the B&M smoothness. If you really want rough why not go to King's Dominion and ride Anaconda, or how about Shockwave? Little jabs and quick, powerful transitions are not rough, that's just people who are too complacent with the wide, graceful curves of B&M.
