RE: Verbolten
Let's start with what we know for a fact: 1. There was an injury. 2. The incident was not bad enought to delay testing. 3. Verbolten did valley. Now weather or not 1 and 3 are part of the same incident is what we should be debating now. I was told that they are not part of the same thing.

I live in Va Bch and got really frustrated when they assumed and hyped up reports of things that were either untrue or radically hypothesized just to sensationalize the story. Between knowing the area and airstation from living here and having police family members respond to the scene, their was definatley sensationalized commentary from national news agencies happening. Grrrrrr.

As far as what the park is thinking, I would say that they basically are keeping the show going. The GP is clueless about it and as far as the GP goes they don't know anything other than its opening may 18th and thats what the park cares about most.

I don't see why it won't move forward as planned. The ride will open with four trains if they can't get the yellow train fixed by opening day and nobody will notice. May 18th is probably still the date it will officially open.

Basically, the park has kept things under wraps because it has not really altered their schedule and things should go swimmingly from now on.
In reference to the 'launch party' I am sure it is basically just ERT on Verbolten, not too much to get excited about. Probably some free food and a shirt or something like that.
On a different note, do you think we will see live characters in the queue or around Verbolten? Such as the brother and sister that own the tour business.

^Looks like this soft opening is becoming more and more likely!
You didn't happen to ask about that, did you?

FWIW, I had to call the police for an incident on my block on Saturday. The dispatcher specifically asked if I needed an ambulance. I said no, but they sent one anyway. :-/

The thing about an emergency situation is that it's an emergency. Sure, at the time of a accident (not this one) nobody got hurt, but that could change within the time it takes for responders to get there.

RE: Verbolten
So we won't get full speed testing video until next weekend? That's unfortunate. Myself and some others are trying to figure out if it's worth $35 (USD) for an hour of ERT on Verbolten when we're there.
