RE: Verbolten
They just said top speed is like 50-53mph, I forgot the exact number. I keep seeing 50, 51, and 53 everywhere. Anyways, you would think the launch would propel you to max speed. I agree with Swift about the turns. Look at Groover at it's turns; yeah it goes slow but the turns aren't as banked, except for after the drop maybe. Just imagine Groover's turns but on a larger more banked scale.

Maybe inside the event building on Verbolten you will go as fast a Groover's Alpine Express goes
They are very similar in ways

Yes, this is getting very old. It's not that important to keep going back and forth over.

Not as old as the one for I305 in KDfan forum site, it has 300+ plus pages on one ride. So, that's why I agree with Gavin's point.

RE: Verbolten
So you go into what appears to be a tunnel entrance at 50+ mph into the building, factor in the angles of the turns and the length of the track plus any braking done, or any major friction. What do we get?

RE: Verbolten
A highly-themed, multi-sensory experience.... Lightning bolts, elaborate sets, a tribute to the Big Bad Wolf, complete with special effects only seen by Universal/Disney. Not to mention the steep banks and sudden drops you'll take in the dark. The Black Forest has finally struck back when guests are then taken by surprise by a vertical drop in the dark, caused by uneven ground and a mysterious wolf-related curse. As you head out of the forest, you hit the gas pedal in terror of the experience you just faced, only to pass signs telling you of a broken bridge. Once you find out, it's too late and you plunge over a broken bridge, narrowly skimming the Rhine. The finish includes high-speed turns, finishing back in the celebration of Oktoberfest!
Basically the coolest thing the park's done since Apollo's Chariot.

Exactly, lol, do you think strobe lights will be used for lighting as a special effect?

Who knows? The teaser video the park posted and the concept art on the brochure show road signs.

RE: Verbolten
If they do have signs hopefully they just say danger or something not long so we can read them.

This back and forth is sadly comical. Physics eludes every one of you.
