verbolten is having some sort of severe maintenance issue currently. they havent even transferred a train on
 
not even gopro hypersmooth 2.0 could fully save this shot. you can really see the train shaking violently from this angle, particularly in the upwards turn into the "airtime hill"

There are also a few other variables such as not knowing the caffeine consumption of the videographer...
 
I was trying to hold my wrist to keep it steady, which worked on literally every other coaster, but yeah verbolten just shakes WAY too hard for it
 
I would agree with you normally on this one @Zachary and I think that is why the rattle is negligible on the other portions of the ride, but it is so intense at this ending turn that you can't help but think "jesus fuck did we hit a deer?". I give lap bar trains more wiggle room with rattle, but it has gotten too bad for me to just think "eh" about it anymore.

Hitting the deer is part of the theming. Kudos, BGW.

Me, I actually am harsher on Verbolten for the rattle. An ostensibly family level, modern steel coaster shouldn't rattle like this.
 
To me, the Verbolten rattle is very noticeable but does not ruin the experience. To me it's like an extra bit of theming (bumpy forest road?)

This is what happens when you take a ride where the cars used to swing and use the same footers for one that doesn't.

Solution: Make the cars swing like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Have a locking mechanism for the whole show building part, then at the bottom of the drop track, unlock the swinging. Thematically, it would make sense as the "bridge" element swaying. This would take the ride from my least favorite to favorite easily.
