^I can get the message regarding the times on my android phone but it is just a blank screen when trying on my computer. Have tried when its running and it just doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

RE: Verbolten
I just saw the red car running empty at 1:48 on the BG webcam site. Perhaps they have figured out the problem..

According to Ride Hopper Verbolten is now open, with a 30 minute wait. Any sign of people on the webcam?

RE: Verbolten
It better be open Thursday! I have never seen a ride closed for the whole day as much as verbolten in my life. I mean if it was for 30 min to an hour everyday that's one thing. But for the whole day? They need to fix that

RE: Verbolten
The park generally always has these types of signs for the new rides for the growing pains period.

RE: Verbolten
This is an interesting read about another prototype coaster with similar problems, except much worse.
That entire site is a pretty good read too. You can get some really rare construction shots dating back to the 70s, plus it's got a TON of information.

RE: Verbolten
Sounds like they're handing out flyers stating that Verbolten will be down again all day today.
WARNING: If you don't like unconfirmed rumors, stop reading here!
I, personally, have not seen any 100% solid evidence but this is what I was able to gather from two independent sources (one of which is very trustworthy). Regardless, take this with a grain of salt.
It sounds like there was an extremely minor collision that occurred in the station on Sunday morning. From what I understand, they were having some sort of problem and were cycling trains when a train dispatched from the station while another train was on the holding brakes in front of the station. The friction wheels then pushed the train in the station into the back of the train on the holding brake. From what I observed in the park on Sunday and according to what I heard, there is no physical damage to the track or trains. I've heard for a few weeks now that Verbolten is having some pretty major computer issues having to do with the blocking system and this is something that seems like it could result from said computer issues.
This is pieced together from what I heard from an eye witness whose story was more-or-less confirmed by a highly trusted source who has seen pictures of the collision. Again, I have seen nothing to confirm the story so take it however you wish.
