^You know, I thought Gunter would be a heavset guy, too--and Gerta was hotter than I'd expected.

[SchotcherI own the website www.donkey.com]

I always thought they were husband and wife...and I also thought he was going to be heavy. Great photos and report! Just wondering, did they say they were going to plant any trees near the Rhine Drop? Or do they want to keep things as it is?

Awesome report. Looking forward to riding later this summer.

This whole thing looks so good! Again, three cheers to the creative team. Can't wait to check this out.

^^^Gunter is a heavier sounding name, I also thought the same thing.

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

^So, anyone named "Gunter" is immediately doomed to be fat?

[crazywolf88I teach at the school of donkey!]

^Exactly.

On another note, some official POVs are going around youtube. They seem to be filmed in the same fashion Cheetah Hunt was shot.

Good stuff, Chuck! Everything about the ride looks completely awesome!
I too, thought that Gerta and Gunter were husband and wife, and I also pictured Gunter as an older, heavyset guy. I pictured him with a white beard, the little round glasses, and the traditional German lederhosen. Kind of funny how people build their own images in their heads. Gerta is pretty babe-like, though!

Also, I'm VERY happy to see the return of the waterfall! Thanks for the coverage!

[Pun_MachineWhat's with the donkeys anyway?]

I didn't picture Gunter as fat, but i did think he'd look more like a german version of Doc Brown from BTTF.

[DerekRxI'm the gyro!]

When I think of a Gunter, he's a stout, balding guy with a mustache wearing Lederhosen with a beer and chocolate bar in each hand.

Much like how I've never met a thin Bertha, it's a doomed name.

Good report, Chuck. I look forward to taking a spin on Verbolten sometime this year.
