Bryce232 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Verbolten's pre-launch section reminds me of my before-the-lift portion I put on roller coasters in RCT3. That is NOT a negative comment. I really love how Verbolten looks right now. The beginning should be very calm and suspenseful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Nice TR! Anyone know if there are supposed to be catwalks on the launches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
televisedconfession Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 How pretty. I really need to get back to BGW. Haven't been since they closed Drachen Fire. Yeah, it's been that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Â I didn't know Busch Gardens Williamsburg was getting a clone of Air to interact with Verbolten! Awesome! Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 ^Maybe some BGW workers are in denial that they're not getting another B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Great TR, what were the screams coming from in your video? I would assume it to be a coaster, but which one? Â Really need to get to a Christmas event sometime, done the Halloween thing and this is the next holiday to see all done up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 ^That was Alpengeist. I was kinda angry that it was traveling directly under me and I couldn't see it. In all the times I've ridden that portion of the Sky Ride with my camera ready just in case it was dispatched at the right time, it's never happened until now when it was pitch black out.

KCForce Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) To add another thing wrong with the picture... Verbolten will go through the woods and THEN over the river.... Â Plus what the other guy said about the inverted track. I get that the Thanksgiving song is "Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house we go...." but while we're being proper enthusiasts pointing out what's wrong Edited November 27, 2011 by KCForce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Man, Christmas Town looks beautiful! I would love to be able to check it out in person, but that definitely isn't gonna happen this year. At least I can live vicariously through you, haha. Thanks for sharing, Steve! Â Also, I think Verbolten is looking awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrideseeker Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks for the update!! This ride is coming along great!! The Christmas lights were amazing!! I love the blue lights in place of water! A great idea!! Can not wait to see more of this ride as it progresses. I will have to make a trip out there for this one!! ~Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoaster Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks for the update! They really do go all out on the decor. That's pretty impressive! And, looking forward to seeing Verbolten as it continues to get built out. This one has some promise to be a solid family ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Escape from Pompii looks more epic then normal. Best ride everrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Looks like its shaping up to be a nice family attraction, looking forward to visiting the park again soon. Thanks for the update Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin_Eagle Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great TR, great photos too, the lights were incredible, would love to see that in person for sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingadam719 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Nice TR! Anyone know if there are supposed to be catwalks on the launches? Â Yes, there will be. You can Sorta tell in one of the pictures, but there are little branches coming off of some of the supports a foot or two below the track (exactly like there are on the indoor sections with brakes/catwalks).

grinch1313 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great photos, Steve! Pompeii looks amazing with the blue lights. I would love to see that in person. Verbolten is looking great. I can't wait to ride it. I'm definitely going to have to get up there next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DECoasterNerd Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great trip report, Steve! Dan and I are looking forward to Christmastown this upcoming weekend. It looks even better than last year, especially Escape from Pompeii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great trip-report - the log-flume looks amazing! Â I loved this, they even re-themed the teaser signs to Christmas! Â I don't know about the US but this sign - of course minus the tree - is a regular traffic sign here in germany: Warning that you enter a harbour area....

Hilltopper39 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great pictures Steve, looks like BGW does a great job with this event! I always thought that Sea World Orlando put on a great Christmas event, and it looks like they do the same in Williamsburg. Â And Verbolten is going to be great!

Moose Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great update. The structure of Verbolten's building looks so... normal. I guess the ride should be exciting, not the building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkblotKat Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Off by one year again *w* If I decided to visit the East coast next year I could've been able to ride this, skyrush, apocalypse, and stinger also   oh well; more to look forward to in 2014 XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chroniq Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great update Steve. The verbolten construction photos were awesome. The HD video on the sky ride was awesome. ... FWIW, I counted all the lights on Pompeii. 147,280. What do I win again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great update Steve. The verbolten construction photos were awesome. The HD video on the sky ride was awesome. ... FWIW, I counted all the lights on Pompeii. 147,280. What do I win again? I'm eating Thanksgiving leftovers right now, you'll be getting what's left of that in about 4 hours.  Great update. The structure of Verbolten's building looks so... normal. I guess the ride should be exciting, not the building  I'm really looking forward to seeing what the building will look like once they finish it. The structure certainly looks ordinary, but maybe the outside will be themed up nicely (I wouldn't expect any less out of BGW).  Great pictures Steve, looks like BGW does a great job with this event! I always thought that Sea World Orlando put on a great Christmas event, and it looks like they do the same in Williamsburg.  And Verbolten is going to be great!  Agreed about SeaWorld Orlando, I got to catch their Christmas event a few years back and was blown away. I'm really looking forward to seeing it again this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
