sad to see the old Big Bad Wolf go, but that does look like fun

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.

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.

I like that is both indoor and outdoor coaster.

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

But I hope to come back soon. Looks like it would be a coaster I wouldn't mind riding in a somewhat altered state

During construction I kept thinking that 10 MPH with some cool music and a glass of wine or
whatever your choice is would be cooler than doing 50 MPH.
