Griffon has much more than it's first drop. It has 2 amazing Immelmanns, the drop after the MCBR, and 2 amazing airtime hills. Although Griffon is short, it's a very fun and thrilling ride.
BBW was nice, but it's gone. Everyone who ed the Wolf will have to suck it up and move on cause it ain't comin' back. And change is sometimes a good thing.
Maybe they'll reserve a row on MF, TTD, and Maverick for flash pass users? BGW uses that for at least AC, it works well, not to mention if the ride op is nice you can sneak onto it.
I think Verbolten has the potential to easily top Griffon's (low) intensity ( ), but like Robb said, this is definitely a "family coaster", even if it may be considered "extreme".
I think they want the building ready before first snow. But I wonder how loud it'll be in there, seems like if it has an Intamin rattle and sound FX and people are screaming, it'll rupture people's eardrums.
