Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zierer

Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi

I... don't get why people are complaining about the 'stopping' at the top... I mean, isn't the point of that drop supposed to be its height, the fact it goes over the river and the banking at the bottom? If so, then a stop is more than logical as it builds up a bit of tension in the riders, especially as it's a family-targeted thrill coaster.

Complaining over something which makes perfect sense, especially given the speed at the bottom of the drop already, is quite moronic and petty to be honest.

I personally think that it looks great so far! I do fear, however, after looking at the drop on the new Zierer at Legoland Denmark that it won't be as thrilling as I hoped it would. But as I've seen nothing of the drop on this so far, I can't comment much further.

^Isn't the Legoland drop smaller though?
 
Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi

Its a family coaster though and with lap bars it was never going to fly over that drop. Its doing what I expected it to do.

So many big coasters like Montu etc near enough stop and the mid course and no one complains about them.

I think so. I don't know the heights and stats, but from pictures and videos of the drop on here, I think it is. But even still, I expected the drop to pack a bit more of a punch than it did. Like I said, I'll wait until I see the drop on here in action before passing any further comment, and then will see how it rides during the US Live.

^(^) It is also not in disorienting darkness. This may be the same but if it's pitch black with a bunch of noises so you don't know what's happening (you don't know about the drop track) it could be thrilling.

Okay, I think it looks like a really wonderful family coaster, but I just miss BBW so desperately when I look at this. It's a little disappointing that it slows down so much before the drop, but remember that's what BBW did too.
I'm sure this will be a big hit. It actually reminds me a lot of Whizzer at SFGAm, which is my all-time favorite family coaster.

I've got to disagree on this, B&M MCBRs don't slow the train down that much:

I agree with what ciall said on the previous page, almost stopping before the drop builds a lot of tension for it. Also it has a lot of speed considering the size of the turn so if it went straight through I think it would be a little too fast. I personally think this looks pretty awesome at the moment, as I've said before I'm looking forward to see how people compare it to Thirteen.

The themeing is great.

The ride will still be dire though.
 
Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi

Lol yup.

I think the 300 words I had to write along with it sold it though. The quote is because I don't drive. I told them I'm more used to transportation by bus and black cab. Lmao.
 
Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi

When do you get to the US for media day lol. Long flight. I assume ECG is going to media day as well right?
 
Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi

Dunno. I fly out on May 8th, just happened to be around at the time so thought I'd go for it. :)
