RE: Verbolten
By the way Swift, can you confirm or deny whether or not there will be a BBW reference at all in the ride?

RE: Verbolten
Just thought an obvious reference would be nice. It would be neat to have the image of the sign of BBW in the building somewhere like the LED image of Nessie used to be at the end of the tunnel for LNM.

The funny thing is I wasn't really a huge fan of BBW, it's just that I think it would be neat for there to be an obvious reference.

RE: Verbolten
I honestly would have preferred that the layout be different (kept the rhine river drop the same) and just had a reference. That's just me though

RE: Verbolten
I am actually okay without there being any obvious references to BBW in Verbolten. What's done is done, and making references to a wolf-themed ride in an autobahn themed creation doesn't mix well in my opinion. It would be like having references to the spirit of Le Mans in Griffon, or the legacy of the Maus in Darkastle. Plus, many younger coaster riders, of which this ride will appeal, aren't going to "get" any BBW references if they were too young to have ridden it, or aren't exceedingly detail-oriented coaster enthusiasts like us.

RE: Verbolten
The only argument I have against that is the fact that its themed around the "Black Forest." Aren't there wolves in the backwoods of Germany? (Obviouly there are if they had BBW in the Germany section of the park)

RE: Verbolten
Exactly!
The Rhine Drop is following the same path at the BBW. For many that alone will have a nostalgic feel to it. That is way more than enough reference of the former ride that one stood in that location. Seeing any obvious references to BBW in the Verbolten queue or immediate ride area would seem so random and so out of place. BBW is gone and it's time for the park to usher in a new breed of ride!
