People cut in line on Vbolt just now. Huge uproar in the station. Whole ride shutdown. Police called to escort offenders. Crowd cheered upon removal.

Do you have pics of the Verbolten uproar? That's quality entertainment.

No I didn't. But here is a snapshot of the new Queue Video

The video appears to be completely different. I never got to hear the original video and the volume is so low on this new one as well I couldn't hear it either so I don't know if the dialogue is different. I think it is though, she got attacked by a bat on a string in the video as well so who knows. I wish the park would post these on Youtube or include them with the crappy DVD so we had a clue what she says in the video.

And you guys didn't believe me when I told you that she liked pumpkins and bats... These hints have been in the queue since opening day.
 
For the most part, the dialogue has remained the same. There have been some minor changes, mainly there are more "German" phrases thrown in there. She also shrieks at a lower volume (Yay :D). And instead of saying "Oktoberfest," she either says "Halloween" or "Howl-O-Scream." The volume was too low for me to actually make that part out.
 
I have a few hopes for Verbolten.
1. I hope they plant more trees around the ride. It is so bare and empty. I hope they put them around the first and second lanches, on either side of the rhine river drop, and where you go into the brake run to re-enter the station.
2. That they do something about the event building. When you are walking past the Festhaus, you look over the bumper cars and you see a giant black roof with metal things sticking out of the top. They should put some type of cover up there like plastic vines.
3. This is a more minor thing but I wish they would put more lighting effects in the event building. There are a lot of times where it is just black and nothing is going on. It's fun to experience the ride while watching things zoom by you. It makes it seem faster than it is.
 
Verbolten has an excellent story and I think it would be cool to write a book about it. Do it in the veiw points of Gerta, Gunter, and tourists and what happens in the black forest and how they find them.

1. They will probably grow back... if you look at 1984 pics of BBW, it looks bare too
2. That green mesh is not a permanent solution. They will either enclose the bumper cars on that side, or decorate the building
3. If you ride up front, you will see all of the FX

Kinda like the "Kingdom Keepers" books in a way! Man, I would love to write that book!

Searching forums for picture . . .

Picture found . . .

Check the last post on page 14 in the Howl-o-Scream 2012 Thread.
 
I was in line for it and if you watch the cameras in Gunter's office you can see little red from entwined walking through like she's lost. I hate Entwined, but I thought that was pretty clever.
