RE: Verbolten
Unless the park is having troubles with the system when the ride opens all 5 train will be running for the first month then probably go to the system of guessing how many guests will be there for the day to base how many trains are out. But I'm sure since they have 2-3 months of testing, they will be more than fine with having everything tested and running smoothly. Now the first day this ride opens don't expect anything under 2.5 hours. Expect longer.

2 seats per row * 8 rows = 16 people per train.
5 trains * 16 people per train = 80 max. people on the ride.
3 minutes load cycle * 5 trains = 15-minute normal train rotation.
15-minute rotation / 2 different stations for loading = 7.5 minutes actual rotation
80 people * (60 minutes in an hour / 7.5 minute rotation) = 640 people per hour. (Approx.)
This is in the best possible conditions. So, I'd have to guess the wait time on opening day would be about 2-3 hours.

There's something seriously wrong with that number. It should be at the very least double that. DarKastle is 1,450 riders per hour. I imagine Verbolten is considerably more.

RE: Verbolten
Plus in one of the videos of the HHT, I thought I remembered somebody asking that specific question, "How many riders per hour?". I cant remember exactly but for some reason 1,400 is popping into my head.

I believe there doing the thing Kings dominion did with I305. The line started off as single riders and then the other seats and then half way through the year it was front row line and then all the other seats. I believe busch gardens is going to do single rider for one line and then all the seats for another and then in july or whatever do quick queue and all the seats.

RE: Verbolten
I think someone said this in the thread before, but the HHT gave a very noticeable hint as to what the color of the final car would be even before it was figured out. In one of the pictures displaying the story of the ride, a YELLOW car was seen flying over the "falling bridge". As soon as I saw that, I knew it had to be yellow. Thanks to whoever snapped that picture on the trip!

RE: Verbolten
It was rumored that the final car would be yellow, however I confirmed the color yellow when I saw the train a bit ago.
