Superbatboy Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Verbolten $50 million??? Ohhhhh myyyyy!!! That's like 2 Cheetah Hunts, or like 3 Griffons, or like 1.8 Fury 325's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 The next time you're at the park, try a Caramel Coconut Sundae in France. You won't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BotanicalStig Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Went to bgw Friday for the first time. Tempesto was down almost all day, didn't get to ride it. Got in line twice, but it kept closing. Bummer, Tempesto was the reason I chose to do bgw over Dollywood. Had a good time otherwise, lochness monster really took us by surprise. The other coasters were just what I expected, nothing too interesting. Curse of darkastle was great too. The food was pretty good and the show at festhause was good. Nice park, too much walking, not enough to do. Left the park feeling the same as I did when I visited bgt. May return some day, but I'm in no rush to return.

cfc Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 ^Larry and I were there on Friday, too, and rode Tempesto first thing in the morning. I knew it went down later, but didn't notice for how long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's amazing to hear another view, as we were there two full days, and even went back a 3rd day to pick up some re-rides and see the last show we wanted to see. there's plenty to do at BGW for us, so it's surprising to see someone disappointed.

BotanicalStig Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Yeah I regret not going in the morning when I knew it was running. We decided to do the park counter clockwise. By the time we got there it was down. Did Apollo and it got back up, got in line, went down. Ate, got back up, got in line, went down again. Checked again twice that night and I'm not sure it even got back up after that. Oh well. I was there from 10-9. I had already ridden Sheikra, I knew what to expect out of Griffon. Fun ride, not a favorite of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yeti Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 ^Well if it's any consolation, I'm sure you'll visit a different park which has a Tempesto clone some day. We've got another opening in Connecticut next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyDinosaur Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm planning on going one week from today, any tips on which order to go through the coasters and what to eat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I'm planning on going one week from today, any tips on which order to go through the coasters and what to eat? Get there early and ride Tempesto first; then the rest of the day should be pretty easy. I usually ride Apollo's Chariot after Tempesto, then head for Verbolten and work my way around. As for food, it depends on what you like. I think the best items at the park's main restaurants are the cannelloni at the Italian restaurant, the sausage sampler or roast chicken in the Festhaus, and the brisket at the Smokehouse.

DrachenfireOP Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 ^ seconding the smoke house brisket! However, the smokehouse quality depends on the time of day. If there's a line, the food is fresh and good. Meanwhile, the Italian and Festhaus food is good no matter what time of day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmullin Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I went to the park last week and all I can say is it is amazing. Every ride was great and operations were really smooth. Verbolten completely blew me out of the water, it was probably my favorite ride there. The first drop of Griffon is also insane as well. Hoping to go back again sometime soon!

Sheikra5 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Can we all agree that Darkastle is an amazing ride? I road it for the first time 2 weeks ago, I'm unsure if I found it amazing but it is very smooth. The transitions in Curse of Darkastle are far superior than Spider-Man or Transformers at Universal. Darkastle could of used some more practical sets and effects but I liked it. Refreshing in today's theme park world for a dark ride attraction to be an original story.
