Verbolten Track & Supports Going Up
It should come as no surprise after seeing the drop track section of the coaster up last weekend, that the supports and track of the indoor section of the ride have started to go up. The goal is to get the inside portion of the coaster built as soon as possible and enclose it. With […]

A series of confirmations from multiple sources (all believable and at least one very solid) have stated at least some of the track for the new coaster, Verbolten, is on Busch property and is painted black. There have been a number of people who have assumed the black track is only for the inside portion […]
After a long delay due to manufacturer issues/testing, Mäch Tower, Busch Gardens’ newest attraction has finally opened. Today’s activity should be considered a soft opening and people should be mindful that the park can shut it down at any time today if they need/want to.

According to a member of our forums, Mäch Tower has encountered yet another setback, this time involving the actual car.

One of our forum users, Newsie, has posted a link to the trademark filing made by the park for the name, “Verbolten”.

New Seaworld Coaster A Peak At Our Future?
Seaworld San Diego announced their iteration of Manta today, and it is clearly not aiming for a hardcore thrill seeker fan base.
