Just wanted to let you all know that we just pushed out 12 pictures of the bridge before Verbolten's drop. LINK REMOVED!. Not all of them are new, but they're all full quality. Enjoy! PS: Like last time, you don't need to sign up to see them, but if you like them, please consider doing so. MODERATOR EDIT: We are removing your links because you need 50 posts to post links where the sole purpose is to promote your personal site or blog. The only exception to this is if you get permission from a site administrator which you have not done.

ALMS7TH, one of the members of the BGWFans Forums, LINK REMOVED! that there is a segment with an 86 degree bank inside the event building. Also, B-Mac LINK REMOVED! that the Rhine River drop has about a 52 degree angle and that the coaster is comprised of 171 segments of track. Ok, I'm going to stop spamming up this thread now.

Just posted some more (very awesome) leaked plans to the BGWFans Forums:Link Removed! This time around, you don't need to sign up. The only thing I ask is that if you share them (please do!), share the link above, don't link directly to the pictures. Thanks and enjoy! Also, we have two pictures of the event building construction from over the weekend that can be found here: Link Removed

Looking at the plans, I can tell you that basically all the footers from the bottom of the first drop to the brake run are reused Big Bad Wolf footers.

The station has been completely gutted and will be fully rebuilt on the inside with the outer shell staying the same. As for the transfer track, the old maintenance area will now be part of the station and two new maintenance areas will be added. Together, they will be able to hold all 5 trains. The village area has been completely destroyed and is the future site of the "event building". The forecast cost for the attraction as a whole is $54 Million.

Actually, the one I'm referencing hasn't been released anywhere (yet). If you all have any more ride stats questions, I can do my best to answer them.

Looking at the plans, I'd say 18 feet. Very close guess though.

Public drop track pictures: Link There are also a few more ride drawings posted to the forums that we'd like to remain forum exclusives. They can be found here. Signing up takes maybe a minute or two and we don't send emails (aside from the initial confirmation email). If you chose not to sign up, that's fine- major content is almost always posted publicly on the main site.

I don't think anyone posted a video of the announcement, so, if you weren't there, here you go. It was a great event, but I wish we could have heard more about the coaster.

Don't worry, it didn't crash again. Anyway, Mach Tower employee training still hasn't stared yet. Anyone know what they're waiting on?

In line for the Haunted Mansion at Knoebels a few weeks ago... Girl's Mother: "Do you think this ride is scary?" Girl (about 5): "This ride is a little scary but the roller coaster is a lot scary. It goes all the way up to Jesus!" She was completely serious about it too.
