That's going to be cool and will the first for this park to have self service ride on video/photo.
You will then go up some stairs and cross over the track while passing by the control booth.

This is another first for the park to have the main control booth (main console) above the track, since they're will be no room for the main control console on the station floor due to needing the room for duel train loading.

Yeah, BBW controls were at the back of the station, but they had to remove that to get both trains to be able to load in the same station
 
RE: Verbolten

I totally forgotten about that myself. So, it would be the second not the first.
 
RE: Verbolten

So here's a question. How are the guests going to leave the station once they're off the ride? Is it going to be a stairwell like BBW?
 
RE: Verbolten

It's likely going to be very similar to what BBW had. I hope no one is going to be a jerk and disrupt the operators in the control booth :-/
 
RE: Verbolten

The guests will walk up stairs, which will take them over the track and behind the ops booth and I don't think they see much into the ops booth. Since it maybe just a door and a wall. If was glass the guests walking by will be blocking the line of sight of the operator

Here is a description of what you will do when you get off the ride... First you will get off the train (obviously, we don"t want to do this because we love the ride so much :)), turn right and walk to the front of the station. You will then go up some stairs and cross over the track while passing by the control booth. You will then go down some stairs and either go down some more stairs to Oktoberfest (at least that's what it looks like, but it may just be employee access) or enter the photos/merchandise section. You will first come to some self-serve kiosks and video monitors. Then you can turn left and go out to Oktoberfest, or you can keep walking straight and go into the traditional, full-service photos store. From there you can turn left and go into the merchandise store. You can the merchandise store has 2 doors that you can return to Oktoberfest.

RE: Verbolten

I can't thank on mobile, but yeah I missed it too. I'm more interested in the themeing of the station to be totally honest, same thing with the "new" queue house

You make a good point B-Mac.

I was watching a YouTube video that a person made of the leaked plans that were on this site (pulled) and it shows the station, and its layout and its theming which should give you some idea.
 
RE: Verbolten



Well, I can confirm that the park just received the next train. It is red (as seen in the photo) and I'm hoping that the crane is there in order to install the car onto the track soon! The car seems to look EXACTLY the same as in the video (I'll post a comparison tomorrow being that I'm too tired to now). I apologize in advance for the horrible quality of the picture.

I'm surprised that Busch has not approached google to pull the video

It's hard for them to prove who did it and it helps them on the PR side as well.
