Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi
I wish people would stop comparing it to Cheetah Hunt which bored my socks off. It doesn't seem similar in any way except for the fact that it's 'slightly longer than your average coaster'.
I think this actually looks rather good. BBW was always going be big boots to fill and Verbolton is something new and fresh for the US, while maintaining family appeal. Also, I can't get enough of those gorgeous cars. Can't wait to get over there and try it

I know exactly what you mean, but, if it was done by a person choosing a button, yeah it would be, but for a computer system to choose it, it's extremely simple, the processing time of that task is unbelievably quick. I've been involved with computer systems that do different Media-Related tasks like this and they're unbelievably quick.gavin said:

Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi
The two times I rode on Sunday we had a different show. I'm told there are 3 different ones. It was a huge surprise and what a fantastic way to make a narrative based ride a reridable experience. It really gives that sense of having your own story and part in the experience.
It's good fun. It's completely different to everything else in the park and that makes it awesome in itself. The theming is high standard and entertaining. The launches pack a punch, the indoors section is outstanding - it's pitch black bar uv lights on theming, intense, disorientating and you loose all sense of space. The changing effects are confusing and leave you wondering when the drop is going to happen. The actual drop is meh in my opinion, not better than Thirteen, but the rest of the experience is so mind blowingly superior to Thirteen it's not worth the complaint.
It's not an outstanding roller coaster, but it's in the very good category. And it being so different and well done is really awesome. It's rattling quite a lot on the slow sections of track, but it feels like new needs to be worn in roughness to me. Only other complaint is that the main drop over the river is meh, it rides exactly like it looks in the videos. But this ride is totally about the indoors section so I don't really care.
The queue moves fast, just like all Busch's lines. Kyle tells me that park can get so insanely busy to the point where you can barely move, but nothing ever has a long queue. I figure Verbolten is going to be prone to longer queues than the other coasters, because apparently Wolf was - and I guess that's down to the broad audience. We queued about 20-25 mins for it both times on Sunday, which for a brand new coaster is nothing. We'll see how it does in the next few weeks.

All three are launched family coasters. BSC and Verbolten both launch into some unexpectedly powerful positive gs. Powder Keg and Verbolten both feature a big drop right at the end of the ride. No need to be condescending, it's an apt comparison.

^ and a drop section. so basically it's a cross between bsc and keg, with an event building, second launch, and a drop section.

^ I'm not being a "Wanna be Mod" but, PLEASE, will you start putting Capitals at the beginning of sentences and full stops at the end. I'm just a grammar Nazi.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it Joey, I secretly really want to ride it, as I said, it looks fun, but not "amazing" like people are naming it. Glad you have kind of made my thoughts (before riding) justified by your review.

Thanks doll
Joey, just out of curiosity, I can't really tell from the videos, is there music in the Ride Event Building? I know there's noise effects, but are they actually audible over the noises of the wind rushing past you and he screams of the riders?
