This will give you more lateral Gs, will make you slide to the side of the car.

RE: Verbolten
Well, then what kind of unexpected weather can we expect? I was thinking a thunderstorm effect like the one used during the Sesame Street show, surround sound, strobe lights, and a spray of water from above.
As for a major peak, I really think a visual effect is what he is referring too. Has anybody found out what a moon box is, maybe that is the key???

You cannot spray water in the building. There are no drains in the building, so the water would just gather on the ground. Also, it would probably interfere with the electronics of the effects.

If it free falls, how does it have multiple drops in the 1 track section?

Just a quick point, this is not true. Thirteen's drop is a genuine freefall. Intamin's version is very different to Zierer's but both systems are gravity powered freefall drops.

To answer this question for everyone. They use hydraulics to pull this off on Thirteen. Verbolden will use magnets to slow the drop of the track itself.
Thanks to Gavin for providing a cool video.cpt Awesome said:Rob said:cpt Awesome said:

That wasn't an official animation; in the video, he says there is only one piston in the center.
You guys thanked Gavin for the video, but you clearly weren't paying attention to it...

Vaughan did an amazing job with the video he shot for the HHT last week and I thought you guys might enjoy it, too.

RE: Verbolten
Thanks for the heads up. I grabbed a couple screen shots off the android version. (terrible app btw)
Edit: Also added a screen shot from the Verbolten page in the app. Pretty much sums up how bad the app looks.
