Our company did the parts in the event section of the ride. All the brightly colored leaves and backdrops etc. Can't see them very well so if another video becomes available I'll post it.

(13,409 posts)That was one of my favorite coasters from childhood. I was really hoping to get to ride on it a few more times. Well, at least this new one certainly seems pretty cool.

(4,926 posts)I think verbolten occupies the same spot in the park.
I hope Verbolten lives up to its successor. From the video, it looks pretty damned cool. You should be proud to have been a part of it. I love coasters, working on something like that would be a dream to me.

We build for all the major theme parks. Also sets for plays and operas as well as
museums, casinos, hotels and grocery stores.

whatever your choice is would be cooler than doing 50 MPH.
