GAcoaster Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Though no details have officially been released yet (because of Mach Tower's delayed opening) other than there is a new launched coaster coming for 2012, construction is well underway for the new ride. Check out all the latest pictures of construction here! Construction is taking place throughout the Big Bad Wolf site: The show building is going to be massive! The old Big Bad Wolf Station is getting stripped down to the steel as part of the remodel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Adventurer Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm really excited to see what they'll do here. I was in awe of how beautiful BGW was when I went to visit, and I plan to visit again sometime soon. Hopefully whatever they make will be just as unique as Big Bad Wolf was.

GAcoaster Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 H I haven't ha a chance to update until now but I just posted pictures from October 18th and from December 20th of construction progress. It's looking REALLY impressive. Here's a picture of the interior of the show building from October. The black tarp is covering the drop track: Now, the building is completely enclosed, and track is going in towards the Rhine. The track into the "bridge" is in place: Workers were still on the job at 4:30 on Tuesday as guests were walking through the park for Christmas Town: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy9 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 It must be a steep drop if it matches those footers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 what is the "drop track"? and what kind of coaster is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 It's a section of track that the coaster train will stop on, then suddenly drop down about 15 feet to a lower level and launch out of the building. I'm guessing it will be in complete darkness. This is made by Zierer (makers of Blackbeard's and the Wave Swing), and they just built one for a Lego Land park. Go to 9:05 in this video and you can see the animation then the actual prototype of the drop track in action...it looks pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 It is a launch coaster and apparently they can do "dark ride" sections on it as well. Of course if they got a dark ride coaster, it would get poo-pooed the same way that TDK was. No sense casting pearls before swine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 In my opinion, Verbolten doesn't look nearly as impressive as the Big Bad Wolf coming down the drop to the Rhine. Those are stange color choices for the tracks and supports. It would have looked better if they painted it asphalt black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarioSonic94 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 One week from now (and I'll ride it in four weeks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 All of the buzz about it so far seems like it's a winner! Can't wait to ride it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
