RE: Verbolten
Well i rode verbolten 4 times today. The ERT did not work ou! I got into it with this lady who wasn't letting anybody over the bridge even with a season pass, so a manger had to come over to let us in. As I finally got in line, it was broke down -__- so I just waited in line the whole time, ppl kept leaving which was good for me, it was about a 30 min breakdown. They said they couldn't get the car to leave the station. But other than that, fun day!

RE: Verbolten
This is actually what it did: honked like a car horn for two short bursts then the Gerta voice came across saying "Your ride on Verbolten is now resuming" (or something like that) followed by the horn again. I'm pretty sure the "clear the tracks" thing is only for moving the cars in and out of the garages.

RE: Verbolten
"Clear track" spiels are played whenever the ride is starting up in the morning or before restarting the ride without guests (i.e. shutdowns requiring a ride escort or for inclement weather). Ride restart spiels are played when the ride restarts with guests on board.
Examples:
"(Some attention grabbing tune plays) Clear the DarKastle ride area for moving vehicles. Clear the DarKastle ride area immediately. Once again, clear the DarKastle ride area for moving vehicles. (Tunes plays again)"
"Ladies and gentleman, your ride is about to resume. Please remain seated with your hands, arms, and legs inside the ride vehicle at all times. Again, your ride is about to resume."

Clear the tracks is whenever the ride is starting and there is a possibility someone is on the tracks

Ok, so we identified the ride restart spiel for Verbolten and we now need to find out the clear tracks spiel. Correct?

But they can't stop us. And we're also doing the guests justice by updating people about Verbolten via social media which the park hasn't done much, have they? If you ask me we're their dark knights.

RE: Verbolten
They are a business and they want to make lots of money, even if it is concealing if their new ride is open or not... They do want the ride open (more riders, more happy guests, more returning customers), but if they told people that their new big attraction is closed, then some people would not come to Busch and spend money

RE: Verbolten
^ A drop in attendance is a natural consequence for the park's new ride not being open. We're trying to give their guests information- something they should be doing. The @VerboltenStatus account had less than 50 followers last time I checked. The fact that they're intimidated by some enthusiasts informing other enthusiasts about something that's happening at their park is sad. Very, very sad. The webcam didn't work on phones. I've been in the park 3 times now and felt like I had to stick around the area not knowing whether or not it was open, if it would open, etc. @VerboltenStatus was an attempt to keep that from happening to others.
