Yeah, right? We were like two little kids seeing something spectacular for the first time when we saw them. Whoah was said MULTIPLE times. Think other people in line were giving is looks but oh well. We were excited about one of the little things in life. Wish I had my phone in line to take photos but left it with non rider.

Is there an explanation as to the reduced amount of effects in the black forest building, and why whenever I've ridden it the past 3 seasons I get the wolf drop effect 9/10 times?
 
I haven't gotten wolf a single time that I've ridden this year.. which admittedly is only 3 times.

Verbolten seems to always have the longest line..

That's really interesting! I can't remember the last time I got wolf. I seem to always get rain storm.

Storm is my favorite of the three effects and haven't seen it more than once in a long time, anyone else notice those 4 "screens" that tip off which effect you'll be getting right before you enter the drop track section. The "screens" showed what looked like wolf eyes or the white blobs for the spirit effect. Don't remember them being on the ride before now, maybe I'm just freaking out

Someone said earlier in the thread that this is just because the top layer over the screens is missing now, making the screens much more noticeable

This thread is so depressing.. its such a shame they have neglected this coaster so bad

Thanks, i must've missed that. And I agree, bolt has seen much better days
 
Public reply to Busch garden's official post. I don't think there's too much expectation of privacy there.

He even brought it to Busch garden's attention by tagging them in it.
