Busch Gardens Announces Verbolten

^ I get a "removed by user" error?

^I do too. It's been removed. Perhaps they are trying to be coy. I hope it pops up again.

Orange train, mmmmmm:

I'm not one who usually goes nuts over seeing a new train, but that looks stellar. Guess it helps that I'm a huge fan of classic European sports cars.

That does look cool!

I have no doubts that Verbolten will be the best new ride of 2012.

And you can say that because you've ridden them all? If I were to guess I'd think Leviathan would, but I have doubts.

I'm more interested in riding Leviathan, both wing riders and Hershey's new coaster.

Crap. I'm not doing anything fun this summer, except for finally visiting the Potterverse.

Yeah, the list is pretty long, and I doubt I'll hit them all:

Canada's Wonderland
Hersheypark
Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Six Flags Great America
Dollywood

Plus others that I'm still behind on:

Busch Gardens Tampa
SeaWorld Orlando
Whatever I'm forgetting

Living in the Northwest was lovely, but disconnected in terms of coaster dorking.

I need the new ones in Florida too. But, I should be hitting all of this years new coasters except for Verbolten.

For me, in order of anticipation: Leviathan, SkyRush, Seven Dwarves Mine Train, Verbolten, X-Flight SFGam.

A non-invert B&M atop the list? Shocked and awed. Blame the choice of trains... ;)

edited to add: Flying Turns is the one I'd immediately catch a flight to ride... :)

Seven Dwarves Mine Train

I don't think this will be a 2012 get, 'gator. It might not even be '13.

Oooooh, me too. I'm a 1952 Mercedes 300SL (W198) kinda dude. You?

Hmm...all of them? :)

Ferrari 250 GTO, Porsche 356, BMW 507, Volvo P1800, Lotus Elan, Jaguar XKE/XKSS, MG MGB, Austin Healey 3000, to name a few.

Since moving to Texas, I'm way behind on my geekery too. Still no Tatsu (or Apocalypse), neither Intimidator, Behemoth, Farenheit or Sky Rocket. Heck, I'm even missing Maverick and Mystery Mine. I guess kids and a job, right?

Such a misguided sense of priorities. *shakes head*

;)

I'm most excited about Verbolten because (1) my son can just about stretch to 48" and (2) BGW is probably the only park I'll make it to this summer.

Going to the Outer Banks for vacation this summer, so I'll hit BGW on the way home. Haven't been there since '92, so everything except Loch Ness will be new to me.

My son did his first looper (Scorpion) at 4, and his next (SDL) at 5. Eager to get him on Loch Ness since I loved it so much when I was little... there are so few looping coasters he can ride, and he really digs them.

My understanding from Disney was that it was *scheduled* to open in Phase 3, which was planned for Spring '13. Wouldn't have included in my list, but went to RCDB to see if I was missing anything relevant and Duane had the ride listed as "New for '12"....so I went and added it hopefully.

Right now my priority is giving my kids as much Bovine Growth Hormone through non-organic milk as I can so they grow to 48" by the time they're 3.
