Robert Fehnel (bigbobdog on the Forums), was kind enough to allow us to use his excellent Christmas Town pictures on the main site. If you have any problems with the picture viewer, they can be seen in his Flickr album as well. Want to tell him how awesome his pictures are? There’s a thread for that […]

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.
