Theres a video of verboltens on ride dvd you can buy on youtube

 

[iheartbgw2020]

Yeah i would like to address my opinion on the videos.....they are cheesy.....too much animations and not enough ride footage.....I don't think its worth the amount they are charging for it....at least they offer it, though...

 

[Apollogeist]

Yea i dont like the video, way too much animations, i would like if they jut had the whole ride on video with no ainimation

Vbolt has been closed all day. ERT was standing in line.

You mean you got ESLT?... lucky man!

 

[Zachary]

I know. I felt very appreciated.

 

[Apollogeist]

Ah man wish i could have gone to ESLT, they made the theaming so good so when your in line you have stuff to look at

 

[Zachary]

Only issue? They wouldn't let you in the queue. We were waiting in the middle of the path.

 

[Apollogeist]

The only thing i dont like about the line is how loud the screeching noise is from the video in the first building

Coaster was down for half the day today. Let's hope this isn't a repeat of what happened in June.

The ride was running so well throughout most of the summer. I wonder what's going on?

Talked with an Oktoberfest team member today... said it was feeling "grumpy today"

 

[Zachary]

It obviously doesn't like pass members.

[Apollogeist]

The video is only like 20 sec of onride video

 

[Ghost of Pretzel Kaiser]

Even I can't handle how bad the CG is in that video. BURN IT

 

[Zachary]

That's actually the worst video editing I've ever seen (previous record was held by Europe in the Air). The park should be ashamed to have the video system working with crap like that.

PETROL. NEED PETROL!!!

 

[pandorazboxx]

Wow, that is bad...

 

[Apollogeist]

I thought i heard a rumor of night vision camera inside the event building
