Busch Gardens Announces Verbolten

I think Gonch would be a high ticket item - nothing reasonably priced about it!

You're looking at $40k to get into a nicely equipped SS and $50K for the new ZL1 coming in 2012.

I, however, am more than capable of killing myself with the standard 312hp that the V6 pumps out and thus, I went for looks/gadgets over more power. :)

I'm looking at a ZL1 myself. They will start around 47K - which is a steal for this.

Gonch is pretty sexy though. I've always wanted one of those, and they are reasonably priced too.

Fixed that for ya.

Lol. No offense to Gonch, but no way. :)

My 3 moves, though...cuz it's got Speed. :) Probably not as much as Gonch's car, though.

Hmm...I retract my previous statement. Our cars are pretty comparable, power-wise.

Fifty million coasters/rides named Thunderhawk/Dominator/Batman = People complain.

Original name Verbolten = People complain.

And when did Kingda Ka mean anything? And yet it went over well.

Are we really complaining about an original name?

It could've been a lot worse. They could have named it Verbolten Lot Stunt Coaster. Or Verbolten Deck...

Or Verboltverick.

Brian, have I told you lately that you're awesome?

(you too mike)

Hey, Mike set up the alley; I merely went for the oop.

I like to toss fat meatballs across the plate so I can see how far they'll get crushed... ;)

I'm all verklempt.

I think it's pretty cool. I can't wait to ride it.

Is that a ride on Verbolten or Gonch????

Trust me, you'd rather ride the coaster.

I understand G:TR is a hard credit to get...

Gonch is the like Flying Turns. Everyone wants to but nobody gets to. And when you do get to, you'll be scratching your head and asking why you waited for that.

It also takes me what seems like 5 years to finish.

Most people have seen videos of G:TR, but have not rode it yet. Also, G:TR is made of very special seasoned wood that is bent into very unique shapes.

So.. how bout that Ferbolten?

Not to be a party-pooper, but am I the only one who noticed that the ride-logo also resembles the nazi-ss flash? If you notice it once you will always see it. Especially with the "original" colors red, black and white it´s a bit awkward to have a sign like this on a german-themed ride in the german section of the park.
Well, maybe you have to be german to be alert by this.
