When we were there last weekend they were testing with the water dummies, and were told the big wigs had ridin it, looks like fun.
Also told they were offered three grrr to ride it!
 
Apparently the show building has 3 different shows on the inside...

Also, I think you guys are still overhyping the ride.
 
The layout is terrible. Only hope this ride has is that they actually pull off something amazing besides the "Spoiler" in the event building.

From the pics I've seen it appears to be all blacklight and neon paint in there...hopefully some projection and other effects will be used

Verbolten started soft opening today and had employee ride time a few days ago. According to a few, it's a little bumpier than expected, but is still a great ride. Now, about the in-house effect . . .

Spoilers, ahead. Just sayin.


The ride cycles through 3 different storylines, giving you different effects - and a different experience - each time you ride. From theme parks about.com:

Using props, set pieces, ultraviolet paint, strobe lights, and other effects, one of three different stories will take place during the indoor part of the ride. The multiple story lines are a first for a themed coaster and should help boost its popularity as passengers return for repeat rides to experience all three sequences, which will include:

Lightening Storm: A fierce storm will engulf the train and threaten to destroy it.
Spirit of the Forest: A spirit will lull passengers with a pleasant-sounding voice, but then turn malevolent and attempt to ensnare them in the forest.
Wolf Attack: In homage to the Big Bad Wolf, a red-eyed pack of creatures will stalk the train.
