Just a random note, all the trains had the white sticker on Friday if I recall. The park must've pulled them all off Saturday and Sunday.

Only one, the red or orange car, had the sticker on Friday Afternoon. The other cars had nothing on them.

They were waiting to see if we would bitch about it...That's right BGW bigwigs, I know you're watching!

 

[Peter R.]

I agree with the sentiment that they were attempting to make the logo look like one of those oval bumper sticker people get while traveling, and I think that was a neat idea. However they are called bumper stickers for a reason ( very few if anyone places said stickers on the side of their car). Nine for idea 3 for the execution of said idea Busch.

should have just been a black and white BGW in an oval then.

Verbolten's First Birthday is this Saturday, along with The Mini Coupe Give away..... Does anyone know if they plan on doing anything else special on this day?

 

[b.mac]

The winner of the coupe will probably plan on selling the thing and pocketing the cash.

 

[BGWScream]

Does anybody know if the Mini Coupe constest was announced?

 

[Planeteer]

Saturday, it's on the FB page

 

[BGWScream]

I meant to say winner lol. Thanks!

 

[Peter R.]

Here is a short article in the VA Gazette on the Lady who won the car. She actually wants to keep the thing, unlike alot of us on these forums had we won.

 

[Party Rocker]

I would've kept the car too. My current car is ready to break down any second with no chance of funding for repairs. A new car is exactly what I need.

 

[Thomas]

I'd've kept it too... but Insurance would probably be a nightmare.

 

[I305Evan]

The amount the you save from getting the car for free (minus taxes) will cover the insurance for the most part.

 

[Shane]

If I had won it, I would have kept it, and had the "V" shield painted on the hood.

 

[Zachary]

I spy a new permit...

FABRICATION & INSTALLATION OF STEEL CATWALK TO VERBOLTEN COASTER IN OKTOBERFEST VILLAGE

Don't expect anything too major but it's interesting nonetheless.

 

[Nora]

I hereby dub you the "Permit Czar" for you have proven to devote your expertise to a single area of work without fail. :heart:

 

[Shane]

Those awful oval logos gone yet?

 

[Thomas]

Yeah, they took them off the sides...



and stuck them on the front. Even bigger ones.

 

[chickenking]

Do you see what happens...
