^Perhaps you are now too well prepared to answer them.

[netdvnWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

My family's thinking about heading to BGW this weekend. Anybody wanna do a meetup? My dad was thinking Sunday, but it's not 100% confirmed yet.

I'm gonna try to pick up tons of maps to (and take a Verbolten pic or two).

Netdvn, I will be working all weekend this weekend, if you want to come by and say hi, I will be at one of the Oktoberfest games. I will probably have a ton of maps on me. It is upsetting though. the very first night I didn't have any maps, and the most popular question was, "do you have any maps?" type questions or "do you know the show times?" type questions. Ever sine I hold on to like a dozen. Sadly, I have hardly ever been asked those type questions ever since

I'll definitely be spending tons of time in Oktoberfest getting pix of Verbolten and meeting up with a few old coworkers from the summer.

Are any of the summer games attendants working through Christmas Town?

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

I went back to Christmas Town this weekend to check out some things I missed earlier--such as the progress on Verbolten. Looks like they're moving along quite well. The indoors section is now completely enclosed. Here's a look.

OUTSTANDING... This is really looking like a true game-changer for parks, and for a family coaster to feature such awesomeness is over the top...

[Bryce232Donkeys are my way of life!]

I love how I couldn't even see the building until I read the captions. I'm glad BGW is trying to disguise the coaster into the forest like this, it looks incredible!

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

The building will be tough to spot from the bridge between Germany and Italy when the trees are full of leaves during the regular season. I'm curious about how they're going to "dress up" the outside of the building (as well as about what else is going to happen inside).

I'm guessing this is where the trains will exit the building and hit a launched section--or is it the other way round?

I remember that the launch into the building is supposed to be pretty high by the time it actually goes in. So, that shot's probably the exit (looks pretty low, like the free-fall comes right before it).

Is it just me, or do the riverbed footers look like floating crates?

Oh, and thanks for the height comparison. I've always wanted to know how big a roller coaster is compared to a pile of dirt.

[SoCalCoastersYoung and Stupid! I blame my parents.]

Random thought, but what if they did a forest mural on the outside of the building. Since the darkride section is supposed to be deeper into the "black forest" I think it would fit quite nicely.

[STR8FXXXINEDGEJar-Jar Binks smells like Donkey]

Thanks for the update, Chuck. Glad to see a bit more progress outside of the building, too. I'm really excited about this coaster!

P.S. I really hope they bring the waterfall back!

Woah woah woah wasn't this suppose to be a family coaster this thing looks intense...! Also what is up with that new building in there hmmmmm very odd...
