It doesn't hurt to ask customer service. Ask and you shall receive, right? The woman said "it was decided about 10 minutes ago by the ride manufacture not to open until everything is working perfect, we don't have a new set date."
I just hope it's not a company that doesn't care about the parks at all and just wants to make a quick buck. Kennywood is too good of a park to be ruined like that!
If I'm with a first-time rider on Verbolten, I never tell them about the free-fall drop.
Neither do I! The look on their faces after is way too priceless.
For me it's definitely Verbolten. I can get my entire family on the ride and we all love it. The German themeing is great and I love the added intensity of the black forest. No one sees the free-fall coming either just adding to it. This might also have to do with BBW being one of my first coasters too.... (Oh the memories)
I actually saw it too; however it didn't have the notches that the Drachen Fire wheels had. It looked more like a Vekoma wheel to me. Similar to the ones on the new boomerang trains.
