Four official looking maintenance guys (who walked into the building after I talked to them) outright denyed any incident as well.

That and the fact that I'm under 18 so they thought I was just some dumb kid who doesn't know anything

RE: Verbolten
For what it's worth, the employee I spoke to outside V Friday acknowledged that the yellow car was "in maintenance", but wouldn't elaborate on why... He also assured me that all five would be running on the 18th. I say we put the crash behind us (particularly speculation) unless anyone has new, reliable info.
Now, has anyone gotten a first hand Verbolten account from a rider yet? How about any soft open confirmations or rumors? I WANNA RIDE!!!

Pubic discovers accident = They don't ride = $50 million investment becomes worthless.
Anyone remember last year when the park covered up the Mach Tower accident? It would've been terrible press if that got out (even worse than the "two weeks from now" statements employees gave out - and even then, the opening date for that was pretty much undetermined until a week before). Oh yeah and Mach's problems are because it's a new ride/prototype.

I have been in contact with a girl outside the rife and she said if there ever was an incident they wouldn't be allowed to report it unless the park made a public press release.

This X1000.
I'm not sure you could even call it a conspiracy. The fact is that as mouths of the park, Employees aren't supposed to share information that the park does not formally announce or can already be seen at the park.

RE: Verbolten
I agree that the conversation should move on from the accident, it is what it is and at this point and it doesn't really matter anymore. The park is moving forward with testing and looking to open on time. So, no more need to discuss, no more need to ask the people working out front about it. We put up some awesome new pics and a video, we should move on from the accident.

Verbolten looks butter smooth, and that final drop is a sweet lateral-G delight. I don't want to hear (but I know I will hear from the KD/Cedar Fair fanboys/girls) complaints about 53MPH being too slow, or 88-feet being less than Kingda KA. This is a special treat unique in so many respects, and it's going to wow us in many ways, to kids from 1 to 92.
Afterall, can you name any theme park that has a smashed Porsche with a live vine out front of the queue?

RE: Verbolten
nope... All of the people that have ridden are zierer people, next are executives, then paid employees... We do know that Busch is looking for riders May 17 for the media day, but that's it... Plus, usually soft openings are not planned far ahead, maybe a day or two in advance, and V is simply not ready for it yet

I'm a kd fanboy. I don't complain because I know that its Busch Gardens and there in desperate need of a new ride. This ride will still be amazing no matter what happens just because it is what it is. I can't wait to ride on that drop track!!!! I think everyone here I'm pretty sure has never been on a drop track considering there is only 3 in the world (thirteen, polar express (i think thats the name), zeirer designed it and is opening this year, and verbolten. Who can't say this ride won't be awesome in some way/shape/form.

RE: Verbolten
The park has not yet released any details to anyone regarding paid employee ride time or soft openings.
More than likely, your friend is just saying that to either one, brag about it or tease you about it; two, they plan on signing up for it as soon as possible; three, the park told them this to give a false trail of information (which has happened previously a few times).
