  1. Wow, I must be very sensitive. I found Verbolten quite intense. When I went, a kid peed in the one of the front seats of the red train, so DO NOT ride the front seat of the red train. Lol.

     

    The launches are nice. I wouldn't say Verbolten is 'forceful', but it definitely is intense IMO. Not too bad though.

    I went on with some friends and when we got off everyone loved it but they were surprised it was considered a family coaster it is definitely an intense family coaster.

  2. I kinda wish a solution would be to sell it to an operator in Munich who could store it locally and just puts it up every year for Oktoberfest. Almost make it as much of a permanent installation for that fair as it can be. IMO, Olympia Looping is an icon of Oktoberfest and if they can make the money needed to run it at ONE fair all year round, with just the storage, annual maintenance, and assembly costs maybe that would offset the costs for having to transport it all over the place and the need for so many trucks?

    For that matter, make it permanent at a park close by. Putting a coaster up and taking it down probably causes alot of wear on the coaster. They just need to do something with this classic!

  3. I'm feeling really lucky here.

     

    I get to be 2.5 hours away from Kentucky Kingdom, Kings Island, & Dollywood

    I can also make weekend trips to Holiday World and SFOG, which are 3.5 and 4.5 hours away, respectively. CP is 6 hours away, and Carowinds is 5.5 hours away. I have it pretty good I think

     

    I have to agree that im in a good position. Im about 4 hours from Hershey and SFGAdv, 3 hours from SFNE, Knoebles, and Dorney, and like 2 from SFGEscape. Im going to college 30 minutes from Chicago so SFGAmerica will be an hour, plus Cedar Point is on the way down if i drive! Im always complaining that theme parks are so far and i dont have one thats less than an hour but i have quite a few around even if it takes alittle longer to get to.

  4. Well i give universal props for the lake but that show building is awful! On paper it may sound like it wouldn't stick out but it is very prevalent. They really should put some rock work on it and some giant trees in front to hide it. Im sure that the rest is great because of universals great work on the one in florida (which also has a prevalent show building), but they need to work on hiding the ugly parts. It ruins the magic

  5. I HATE SATELLITE INTERNET!!! Because we have satellites we have HughesNet which if you dont know requires a data plan. We have 20gbs during the day and 20 at night. I woke up at 6:45 so i could update my phone which had 1.4gb download so i thought i had enough time since the intenet would switch to the daytime in an hour and fifteen minutes. (We only have 800 mbs lef during the day). It got to 30 % when our intenet dies. Of all times it dies then! So i waited and finally it came back up and it continued to download. Since im up way before i should i slowly fell asleep waking up 10 minutes before 8 to find the dowload reset....... Im soooooo ready to leave and go to college. Im seriously about to murder everyone afiliated with HughesNet.

  6. Small fix for capacity, make it a duel loding station like Mr Freeze. If at all possible, increase seating on the cars and maybe even add another car. The ride looks so much fun even if it is a clone and im glad Busch chose this type of clone because of its uniqunesse. Its not a skyloop, its not a boomerang, its not an SLC, its an awesome Premier clone! I havent been on one but they look fun and i have heard positve things besides their capacity. Im excited and being optimistic

  7. ^Well, it wasn't a bad idea to make a European version of Disney's Soarin', and they did upgrade the screens and projectors in the theatres. For me, I think the mistake was not going the extra mile and upgrading the ride system.

     

    Plus, the segment in Paris, shot at street level, makes no sense.

    When put that way, it does sound pleasunt, but the theming isnt really an airport and an upgraded simualtor would have helped this. If im not mistaken, when this was added, Busch was having finacial issues so they couldnt work with much. If they were to redo this i feel it could work, but they would have to improve all of it possibly and make a new building and ride system similar to soarin just to make the ride decent. Plus then they could make it more of an airport feel rather than a castle dungeon. Obviously they wouldnt redo it but they should do something just to make it somewhat enjoyable. Although as ive already said before, why not bring back Corkscrew Hill and just overhaul it?

  8. Well with Illuminights the whole park was tacky... now at least only Italy and the bridge is.

     

    I understand the desire for a summer event, but why can't the theme just be "summer" and have colorful lights/decor that will somewhat fit in unlike Illuminights and Star Spangled Nights.

     

    Thanks for the report, I'll be checking it out soon!

     

    Completely agree. I was there last week and felt that Italy was ruined by the red, white, and blue. Nice decor and fireworks thats all id want.
