Whether it's Apollo's lift music or Verbolten's headlights, I want the full experience damn it!

Or Griffon's Lift musi... heartbeat???

Anyways, like the apollo music, it's an easy thing to turn on, no reason as to why they don't except no one trains them to know where the switch is.

They should leave them always on. Would make sense going into a show building that's supposed to represent a dark forest. I was thinking a photocell to make them automatically turn on would be ideal, but unrealistic.

They already turn off at Launch 1 and back on at Launch 2. They do the same in the station.

I’ve seen them fail to turn off in the event building before, but I’m not sure why they do that. Today they were on and they behaved properly.

I think they turn on and off with proxes on the train and triggers on the track. Probably missed the trigger for going into the building.

I didn’t even know there was headlights.

Ah. I should have known the show building as envisioned was meant to be experienced in near-total darkness. I guess there wasn't enough space to have a regular realistic-ish Rainforest Cafe kind of scene along with the main story.

I didn't think they'd make a nanocoaster of a ride with a big old show building hiding half the track, but they did it by removing the show building. Who knew? I'm pleasantly surprised.

Wow. I’m happy I saw this. I didn’t even know what the rest of the coaster looked like until I saw this nanocoaster model.

You never saw the construction pics? They built the ride before the building.

Or, yknow, the lights on pov on YouTube where you can see the layout?

This is what happens when we let all these kids in—they haven't read BGWFans construction updates from a decade ago. For shame! ?

I’m young and I even know what it looks like!! Not just from 1 view but multiple.

Busch Gardens official channel also has a construction video that contains many angles of the rides show building and track within.
