I'm not above a good fahrt joke.

I'm above merchandise that makes people think, "why did you buy that?"

RE: Verbolten

I think it's pretty funny and clever marketing too.
I don't put Busch Gardens on some arbitrary personal moral pedestal when it comes to their t-shirts.

But then, maybe that's why I have a Monty Python-
"I fart in your general direction" t- shirt.

I am NOT a fan of "Fahrt"

I already can't stand the type of people at BGW who buy these shirts. Don't fuel them Busch. Gahhhh tacky.

RE: Verbolten

If they are gonna use "Fahrt" on their Verbolten merchandise they might as well build an Austrian-themed section in the park and feature this town!

RE: Verbolten

I think they should maybe just make most of the fahrt shirts in kids sizes (I could see some little six-year old boy wearing his fahrt shirt to school for some reason) but just one or two of the really funny ones for adults. I really hope they sell normal Verbolten merchandise, though. Because as an enthusiast, I would prefer a generic shirt. I usually get a keyring, a shirt, and a mug when I visit parks, so I think it would be better on a mug. (really, I could see some guy with an "Old Fahrt" coffee cup at work)

Best marketing I've seen since Apollo's Chariot's early 2000 shirts that said "Download This" and a picture of a 70 degree drop and 8, not 9 cars per train.

And yes I bought one.

The fact that the stonework wasn't scrapped and is still there on 4/15 makes me thing that it'll be back. Can't have it on while it's a construction site for run off and oh crap we hit a pipe reasons. Also, it wouldn't exactly be pretty until some of the other landscaping is completed.

Don't worry, stonework is still in place along with the exposed pipes where the water came from. Also by the look of some of the plants in that are it looks very likely to return.

Anyone else on here invited to the VIP party?

RE: Verbolten

I can't say that I'll love this ride for sure obviously; but I certainly love the effort they are putting into it.

RE: Verbolten

I will be SO bummed if I miss a soft opening. And WHAT is this about a VIP party?

I'm bout to go stomp away and pout in the corner if things are happening without me involved!

RE: Verbolten

VIP parties are nothing :/ I'm sure it's jus an invite to ride the coaster first is all.

To be honest, those Social Media Events aren't really that spectacular. They are interesting, but not that amazing.
