Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zierer

Re: "Verbolten" Multi-Launch Zierer for BGWilliamsburg

These are kinda cheap, but, if they're done correctly, with using the UV Lighting, you can actually get some fantastic 3D effects going on in there, deeming anything actually 3D pointless.

It'll look better than Bizarro's "Cardboard Cutouts" though

Construction update (TPR):

Looking good! :--D

Not much more work here...

I didn't know that this was going to be a B&M invert....LOL




Is it just me...or is this possibly the best Zierer yet????

Re: "Verbolten" Multi-Launch Zierer for BGWilliamsburg

Oohh... it could just be a good Thirteen.

I didn't care about this ride before, but it looks interesting now. C'mon Busch, pull out all the stops for this one!

I see where you're coming from, but even Th13teen's outdoor section is better than this pre-launch section. It literally sashay's this way, then that then launches. Even with the height elevation difference they have they could have done a slightly better beginning section, it looks so dull.

That indoor section does look so funky, though its a shame its so early on the ride, especially the 'drop'. I would have thought that would be better to have towards the end of the ride, but thats just me...

Re: "Verbolten" Multi-Launch Zierer for BGWilliamsburg

Maybe they kind of want the beginning pre-launch part to be very tame and just kinda rolling over the track in the forest - that way it fits the theme of the normal car making its way through the black forest and its just a casual and normal journey, then something goes wrong and I assume that is when the launch will take place.
Isnt this what everyone was expecting? They were pretty clear about the theme of the ride and I wasnt expecting the pre-launch section of the ride to be any more than what it is.

Re: "Verbolten" Multi-Launch Zierer for BGWilliamsburg

The indoor section is definitely more compact than I had first imagined...

^ +1

I think this ride will be a great family coaster. I really like the finale into the brakes.

 

[CoasterCrazy]

Re: "Verbolten" Multi-Launch Zierer for BGWilliamsburg

^Agreed, it's basically a family launched coaster... which isn't a load of crap. It's not marketed as being EXTREMELY SCARY (th13teen) too, so families won't be (that) scared to go on it...

Meanwhile, work is progressing..

Sorry about this...

Sorry about this one too! But hey, finally a support that's NOT in the event building...

I hope they theme the outside of the event building...

Re: "Verbolten" Multi-Launch Zierer for BGWilliamsburg

Looks good, But then there's the event building.
In the plans is the building just like it is now ?, is there theming on the outside because right now, it just looks like a warehouse.

 

[reddude333]

Re: "Verbolten" Multi-Launch Zierer for BGWilliamsburg

As far as I know the plans we have seen don't specify theming on the even building...can someone back me up on that? Doesn't mean it won't happen though...

Re: "Verbolten" Multi-Launch Zierer for BGWilliamsburg

The entrance is going to be themed to a worn out overpass but other than that, it will remain themeless. However, I don't even think you will be able to see it in the summertime when the trees have leaves. It looks like it would blend in really well.

 

[D1993]

Re: "Verbolten" Multi-Launch Zierer for BGWilliamsburg

Cool the supports are kinda like the color for Leviathan!
Cant wait to visit this hopefully next year

That building is bigger than it looks in pictures.

Re: "Verbolten" Multi-Launch Zierer for BGWilliamsburg

I can attest to the fact that you're more than likely not going to see it once the foliage fills in (if you do, you'll likely have to look hard for it).

Yeah, this adds to the whole theming of the ride. It probably wouldn't be that good on its own, but with all this theming it seems like it'll be quite thrilling. The timid launch through the black forest followed by an intense launch and drop section. I wonder what they'll do with the station theming.

Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi

They are reutilizing the Big Bad Wolf station, so not sure how much new theming there will be in the station...

Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi

Posted on Screamscape, the 'big drop' is complete...

Still not sure how to post images so here's a link for those who want to see

Looks quite fun but I did imagine it looking slightly more daunting...
For a family roller coaster though, it's pretty crazy

Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi

Eh, it all looks very, very meh.

It was cool on BBW because it was a suspended coaster... This just, no.

 

[Snoo]

Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi

Agreed. Quite meh tbh.

Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi

Is there much track left to be placed? If not, I agree it looks rather bland, but I guess it's ok since it's a family coaster.

From the photos, I get it's basically, straight-y bit to the launch track, launch, building of random darkness and effects, drop, launch, MCBR, drop, S-section, station. Is that it?
