Fun fact: It's the same thing. It is actually Korean BBQ, Japanese people call it 韓国のバーベキュー. Basically Korean BBQ Yakiniku just translates into "grilled meat". You can see on the tables in the pics there is some diced radish kimchi. Korean food has become very popular in Japan over the last 10 years.

Kentucky Kingdom (SFKK, KK) Discussion Thread

Short answer: Yes Long answer: It is a little cheaper -
So it's now over 3 years (!?) since the opening of Verbolten. I marked the anniversary by paying a trip over to Busch. 3 years since I first rode la boltz for the first time. What can I say? It was only..................better! I loved it. The other rides are the same as ever but la boltz has a real place "in my heart". Well done!

Retro Photo TR: Disneyland 1960 (HQ)
grimby replied to singemfrc's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
The most curious thing about these photos? 1)The mermaids in the secret lagoon. I really wish they still had them now 2) The space man and space woman. See how clean cut they are? Nowadays i wiuld hate to imagine a similar photo. It would no doubt be with some kind of silly hair style. 3) The donkeys! Great!! Thanks! -
My, my--aren't we dramatic? I hardly think this will be "devastating" for the park, or overshadow the "buzz" for Verbolten. Speak for yourself, I'm going to cancel my entire East Coast Trip, this was the only thing I was wanting to ride!!!! Exactly. This is the thing you see. Of course it is only the Mach tower. But it's about the image it projects. Busch has had the problems with Boltz but thankfully the yellow car is back in action and it also seems boltz is working well. But it did have a few of these "image" problems a few weeks back. Always down, rough ride etc. But now as a back to back probelm the mach is having all these issues and downtime. Again, it's the "image" it creates. Say you are planning a jaunt down the east coast and you have been keeping up with BGW ride closures, this kind of extended closure is the kind of thing that would give you pause, to stop and think and maybe reconsider having a Busch stop over. But it's good to see they seem to have fixed it.

Awesome! I'm really excited about this. By the yellow car finally being ready the ride is complete. To be honest after i heard about the horrendous accident i was quite worried that "little yellow" might never see the light of day again. But she's out. Would love to get out there again and take a spin in it.

Heres a nice little nugget of info for all you coaster fans and Magic Mountain nuts... What you have in that link is the opening for a nice little sitcom from back in the 90s that features our very own Six Flags Magic Mountain in it! Check it out and see if you can spot the familiar and differences.

The Verbolten cars at Busch Gardens Williamsburg are beautiful -
Ocean Kingdom in China

I beleieve as China continues to grow economically we will see less and less knock offs as the citizens of the People's Republic demand genuine coaster experiences. -

At least this will be good.............. Slow down there. This is something that always happens. People build it up. Then it opens and reality smashes it down! -
All grat comedians. But the first and last word in comedy is and always be: DANE. COOK! I was just checking out some of his classic stuff on the youtube. Still awesome as ever.

Looks really great -
That is a bit unfair. I am free to disagree and offer a personal opinion, arent I? That automatically means I'm troling? Not everyone in this world will think like you. But anyway, a few things said above have made me think again. I've only been twice to BGW, and maybe don't fully understand the heritage of the animals.
