Ikr?!? When i went on they said it was a little drop, but they don't know what their talking about, that drop was big, and after getting off the ride my hands hurt from holding on to tight and i was limping for about 2 to 3 days.
My dad got me to go on the roller coaster, he told me it was just like escape from pompa but I realized it wasn't after the roller coaster shot of into the cave... Wose time of my life I had a panic attack and I'm pretty sure I died for 20secons⊙︿⊙
I don't see how anyone could think that the Big Bad Wolf was better than this. I liked BBW. It was my first ever roller coaster ride and I was sad to see it go, but let's not lie: It was honestly kind of sucky. It was extremely simple and didn't go very fast at all. On the other hand, I absolutely ADORE Verbolten. I'd pick it over BBW in a heartbeat.
Dude BBW was miles better than this joke. BBW wasn't the fastest or the tallest but it did feel pretty fast and it was a pretty forceful ride when the cars were swinging. What sucks about Verbolten is that there is brakes EVERYWHERE so it always stops and it loses all of its momentum but BBW kept all of its momentum untill the end of the ride.
I Rode the bbw and it was fun. I rode verbolten. Also fun. I wish verbolten didn't replace bbw because it constantly gets compared now. They're both great rides and it's unfortunate that the wolf had to get and that verbolten gets all the hate
My husband and I visited Busch Gardens in April 2014, 20 yrs since the both of us have been. We rode Verbolten, without any idea about the ride. We have never even heard of it. To put it mildly, it was THE BEST roller coaster either of us have ever been on. However, our 10 yr old niece, was terrified lol. We are going back in a few days, and this ride is at the top of our list.
My Family and I went there last year for a few days, and we got on this and the drop inside and the RIDE ITSELF IS THE BEST ONE I HAVE EVER BEEN ON, THE VERBOLTEN ROCKS!!!
I went on this ride yesterday with my sister and my boyfriend. I have to say that this ride was awesome and addicting. I rode it like 3 times and it was so much fun.
For those of you who want to use a gopro there, there's a camera policy from Busch gardens website: Camera Policy For safety reasons, picture-taking is not permitted on any ride except the Skyride, Busch Gardens Railroad and Rhine River Cruise. To store such equipment, either return them to your vehicle or use the lockers that are available for a nominal fee. The following conditions must be met for the hands free cameras/camera harnesses to be permitted: Must be secured by a 3 point or more harness, over the riders shoulders and around the torso, that is snapped or buckled closed and cannot be detached by bumping. The camera must be inside a case that snaps closed tightly and the case is securely attached to the harness with a screw type pen or similar device. Similarly, if the camera alone can be directly and securely attached to the harness with a screw type pen or similar device. A Park Operations Manager must approve of the device before it is used.
Verbolten has alternating themes, so you may not get the same theme every time you ride it. There's the "Spirit of the Forest" theme, the "Storm" theme and the "Wolves" theme. The color of the cars don't affect which theme you'll get.
I rode this ride without knowing anything about it. Needless to say the drop made me let out a blood curling scream...but I laughed hysterically the rest of the way! Talk about being surprised! LOVE this ride!
I was so young when I rode this. I was crying when those lights came on in the cave. also when the whole platform drops.. I didn't ride it at Christmas town.
Tip for those verbolten fans in case you're wondering how these trains get those settings or themes is if you pay attention to the license plate in the back or front of the roller coaster that's how you can tell which trains get one of the three settings.
I went on this today and it was amazing! Definitely not a wannabe test track. It kind of reminds me of Rock N' Rollercoaster and Thunder Mountain with two amazing drops.
When I went this was the only ride I'd go on bc of my motion sickness and I got off begging to go on it again and my mom and brother got off it shaking and screamed "NO" so whatever but I love this ride it's one of my all time favorites
lol i actually met this guy once. i was waiting in line for apollos chariot then it started storming, and they couldnt run it, but we couldnt go out in the rain, so me and him just talked in the station and he showed me his youtube channel. hes a really cool guy!
I went on this ride and loved it. when i was on it with my niece we did go upside down i do believe. this was about a month ago. i would love to go back and get on this again. it totally made me forget the big bad wolf was even there, but i will always miss that ride :'( .....lol
Me and my niece are thrill seekers, we saw a very very long line for it, so we decided to check it out. When we saw it we thought this was a overated corny family roller coaster. Soon as we went through the tunnel nothing but non-stop thrills. This ride was fantastic!
That doesn't usually happen. The drop track is also a block brake, so if the train spacing is off, you sometimes have to wait there. Usually, you zip right down the hill and into the second launch. You'll see more videos as the weekend continues.
love this ride went on it yesterday it replaced the big bad wolf with something better no one saw the cave and the sudden speed burst once you enter it was amazing and when we stopped in it we expected to just burst out all of a sudden but they dropped us! love rides like this where you get the thrill and suprise from it worth the 1 hour wait
That little turn out near the lake is a nod to the Big Bad Wolf that was in place of this until about 2009. The Wolf was better to me, but oh well. The Wolves is a nod to it as well,
My friends and I are going at the end of this month and I am a little shaky about this ride. I like the take offs but I hate drops. Are the Drops in this bad? thanks
On a scale from 1 to 10, for you I'd say it be either a 3 or 4 on your first ride. Once you start riding it and you get used to it, it's not bad at all. It's extremely fun! I say that you should try it. Besides, you'll never know if you'll like it until you try it:)
I'm going to Busch gardens for my first time ever! i usally go to kings dominion, what rides do you recommend for a 10 year old thrill seeker? my faviorte's at KD are Flight Of Fear, Dominator, Volcano, but i wont ride anything that lift hill goes straight up or straight down
There are three different sets of effects inside the building. The first one is spirits, the second one is a storm. The one they didn't show was wolf pack.
When I rode this ( I rode every ride there ) it barley felt 10 feet, its literally over in 1 second :) but don't let the video fool you, that's what I did and it was so much more that I though. It goes really really damn fast, and once its in the dark the ride does all kinds of turns and stuff in the dark. If you don't ride it when you go you'll regret it I swear. Have fun
Yes. That last drop on Verbolten is nearly identical to the Big Bad Wolf's drop. This one has lots of twists and turns, and, if you cant tell from the video, a surprise elevator-shaft-type vertical drop (scared the shit out of my sister). Also, they took it down because buying new parts for maintenance was too hard.
Some people here need to realize that this ride wasn't made so that they could just tear bbw down....the ride had 25 years to run, and the park knew, as evident by most of the negative comments on this ride, that people loved bbw. They designed verbolten to stand as a reminder of bbw....that's why it uses the same path down the Rhine river....if nobody cared about bbw, they would have completely torn down its station and started from scratch....
this ride is so amazing, it makes you think your driving in the black forest, but I really have to try this ride. If my ponies from mlp ever ride this ride, they might think the black forest is a lot creepy than the everfree forest in Equestria.
I am scared to death of coasters but didn't see any huge climb and drop on youtube so I THOUGHT I would be ok.. I cried the entire ride! We have season passes and now that's the only coaster I'll ride since I've already rode it and because I'm still too scared of the others.
+Jenning Cromwell hm well it all depends whether you like role coasters. a lot of people like them but it's one of those things you either like or don't. I personally didn't like it though because I now have a fear of all role coasters but I say give it a shot :') for people who do like them it would be an amazing role coaster
My sister is 8 years old and really wants to go on this. Would this ride be a good first roller coaster for her? Btw, she is tall enough to go on this and we are going in just a few days, so I need some answers as soon as possible! Thanks so much!! :)
I rode this today.. The free fall drop track is genius. Thumbs up! Kings Dominion needs to add this.
Oh my gosh, I loveee it
Rode this at nighttime. It was pretty amazing...
The drop scared the crap out of me when I rode this! You hear the brakes turn on and you're like WTF... WOAH!
Ikr?!? When i went on they said it was a little drop, but they don't know what their talking about, that drop was big, and after getting off the ride my hands hurt from holding on to tight and i was limping for about 2 to 3 days.
+Brillz Sniping me too
Steven Michael I LIKE THAT I LOVE ROLLERCOASTERS
My dad got me to go on the roller coaster, he told me it was just like escape from pompa but I realized it wasn't after the roller coaster shot of into the cave... Wose time of my life I had a panic attack and I'm pretty sure I died for 20secons⊙︿⊙
I rode this at night during Christmas and it was beautiful with all the lights😍
I don't see how anyone could think that the Big Bad Wolf was better than this. I liked BBW. It was my first ever roller coaster ride and I was sad to see it go, but let's not lie: It was honestly kind of sucky. It was extremely simple and didn't go very fast at all.

It was Replaced Because arrow Parts are Scarce BBW looked Better Themed
I Rode the bbw and it was fun. I rode verbolten. Also fun. I wish verbolten didn't replace bbw because it constantly gets compared now. They're both great rides and it's unfortunate that the wolf had to get and that verbolten gets all the hate
SoupyChickenDuchess big bad wolf is smoother idiot
LOOOVE this ride!!! the drop in the tunnel was amazing too
I'll finally be able to ride this next year during my spring break with my marching band. So excited!
My husband and I visited Busch Gardens in April 2014, 20 yrs since the both of us have been. We rode Verbolten, without any idea about the ride. We have never even heard of it. To put it mildly, it was THE BEST roller coaster either of us have ever been on. However, our 10 yr old niece, was terrified lol.

Fun ride. I went on it twice with my friends this past Saturday actually. Second favorite ride in the park after Apollo's Chariot.
could someone please do a "lights on POV" of the indoor section?
I want to go to Busch Gardens so bad right now. I haven't been on a roller coaster in moths and it's killing me.
I KNOW RIGHT
im going in 5 days
An amazing ride love the theme and the effects in the black forest and the wolf howling in the background a nice tribute to BBW NICE JOB!!!!!
Escape the Black Forest😰🙈
Nice view of the Rhine River
My Family and I went there last year for a few days, and we got on this and the drop inside and the RIDE ITSELF IS THE BEST ONE I HAVE EVER BEEN ON, THE VERBOLTEN ROCKS!!!
I LOVE THIS RIDE SO MUCH. When I first dropped, it was so quick. The second time I was like "Whens it dropping......." LOL
the effects on this are amazing
I went in that ride last week . it was SO worth the long wait
I went on this ride yesterday with my sister and my boyfriend. I have to say that this ride was awesome and addicting. I rode it like 3 times and it was so much fun.
this is a very creative roller coaster with amazing effects

My favorite ride there!!!!! Went on it when I visited a few weeks ago... PersonAlly my favorite amusement park ever!!!
I love this ride. I've been on it. It's _fast_. I love the drop. It's fun.
I rode this ride like two months ago and it was freaking awesome!! :D
I continuously are watching videos like this because I'm going to this in a week 😂
Thanks for posting this! =)
Why do you spoil the ride by announcing what's about to happen?
If you don't want the ride to be spoiled, why are you watching a POV of it?
He had to say when the drop was cause it was all in dark and you don’t know what is really going on anyways
I rode this today and the only thing I knew about it was that there was a "surprise". This was the BEST roller coaster!
Verbolten has alternating themes, so you may not get the same theme every time you ride it. There's the "Spirit of the Forest" theme, the "Storm" theme and the "Wolves" theme. The color of the cars don't affect which theme you'll get.
Cant wait to ride this. I'm going this Thursday
I rode this ride without knowing anything about it. Needless to say the drop made me let out a blood curling scream...but I laughed hysterically the rest of the way! Talk about being surprised! LOVE this ride!
I was so young when I rode this. I was crying when those lights came on in the cave. also when the whole platform drops..
I didn't ride it at Christmas town.
I love this ride. It's so awesome. Especially the drop
I liked the drop in the darkness plus it's so fast
Tip for those verbolten fans in case you're wondering how these trains get those settings or themes is if you pay attention to the license plate in the back or front of the roller coaster that's how you can tell which trains get one of the three settings.
you just made my day. funny as hell!
I went on this today and it was amazing! Definitely not a wannabe test track. It kind of reminds me of Rock N' Rollercoaster and Thunder Mountain with two amazing drops.
I'm going to Busch Gardens on Friday with my cousin and uncle :3 I'm so excited :D
RIP to all the people who got on this thinking it was a kiddie ride
Yee McGee you really think people are gonna think it is a kiddie ride when it goes 0 to 62 in 2.8 seconds
Yep looks are deceiving 😳😂😂😂It's rough on the neck tho😨😔😞
omg this ride was my favorite when I went there!!
I liked the ride, so much.The drop really scared me.Such a fantastic roller coaster 😬
The first roller coaster I have ever enjoyed, and I had to be dragged kicking and screaming onto it (because I could hear the terrified screams).
definitely recommend going on at night! I went on it at night and it was so cool! definitely recommend it!
yeah its awesome at night
It is really fun at night😀
When I went this was the only ride I'd go on bc of my motion sickness and I got off begging to go on it again and my mom and brother got off it shaking and screamed "NO" so whatever but I love this ride it's one of my all time favorites
sounds great! thanks so much for all of your help! i'm planning on going on it now - let's hope i don't 'chicken out' :P
lol i actually met this guy once. i was waiting in line for apollos chariot then it started storming, and they couldnt run it, but we couldnt go out in the rain, so me and him just talked in the station and he showed me his youtube channel. hes a really cool guy!

This was my first roller coaster, I rode it today. It's pretty fucking awesome.
There really is no reason to be scared of the drop. The drop is one of the best parts. I was just there Wednesday. I rode this 3 times in a row!
going here in 3 weeks! cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This coaster is so much fun, I went on 3 times while I was there
That little turn out near the lake is a nod to the Big Bad Wolf that was in place of this until about 2009. The Wolf was better to me, but oh well. The Wolves is a nod to it as well,
I rode this today and loved it!
That tunnel part is awesome. The car train actually "falls" 70 feet to a new track.
This is my favorite ride there! It's awesome!
My favorite ride at Busch Gardens lucky me I get to ride it tomorrow 😂
Just went on it yesterday favorite ride
i LOVED this ride! cool tribute to the big bad wolf
Going to Busch Gardens in a few days!
Does it go upside down? Or how does this ride work?
My friends and I are going at the end of this month and I am a little shaky about this ride. I like the take offs but I hate drops. Are the Drops in this bad?
thanks
awesome! I went last year for halloween and they were building this! Seems cool.
I'm going tomorrow with a friend yay!
Im going to Busch Gardens next week and i'm nervous about this one >-
It's like riding with "Early" from Squidbillies
I went to the one in Williamsburg and I loved it I went on it twice
awesome ride the floor drop scared the crap out of me when I first rode it but the launch in the front row the 2nd one was fast
0:52 is my favourite part!
On a scale from 1 to 10, for you I'd say it be either a 3 or 4 on your first ride. Once you start riding it and you get used to it, it's not bad at all. It's extremely fun! I say that you should try it. Besides, you'll never know if you'll like it until you try it:)
me too... BBW was the first coaster ride for me.
The drop track is double the drop on Th13teen, 20-30ft. There's also the light and sound effects and complete darkness.
I'm going to Busch gardens for my first time ever! i usally go to kings dominion, what rides do you recommend for a 10 year old thrill seeker? my faviorte's at KD are Flight Of Fear, Dominator, Volcano, but i wont ride anything that lift hill goes straight up or straight down
So what happens in the building, a long helix then a drop?
does it loop or anything or something?
There are three different sets of effects inside the building. The first one is spirits, the second one is a storm. The one they didn't show was wolf pack.
When I rode this ( I rode every ride there ) it barley felt 10 feet, its literally over in 1 second :) but don't let the video fool you, that's what I did and it was so much more that I though. It goes really really damn fast, and once its in the dark the ride does all kinds of turns and stuff in the dark. If you don't ride it when you go you'll regret it I swear. Have fun
I rode on the red car and I really like that one!
That is true, this wasn't filmed by them though. look at the description haha
That was my first roller coaster ever I was crying omg but it was worth it
May I ask what part of MA are you in?Are you vacationing at Va Beach or Williamsburg?
Yes. That last drop on Verbolten is nearly identical to the Big Bad Wolf's drop. This one has lots of twists and turns, and, if you cant tell from the video, a surprise elevator-shaft-type vertical drop (scared the shit out of my sister).

does it go upside down?
this ride was amazing!
AAAAHHHH! i am going in 13 days! it will be awesome!!!
My dad wanted me to go to this ride because he said it was slow but after the ride i didnt trust him he lied to ps it was scary awesome
Same here and it was my first 😂😂
this ride is so amazing, it makes you think your driving in the black forest, but I really have to try this ride. If my ponies from mlp ever ride this ride, they might think the black forest is a lot creepy than the everfree forest in Equestria.
Is there any twist and turns
do they all have the drop in the dark? I'm going in a few weeks (haven't been since this opened) and I'm a little nervous for this ride!
You guys are saying that the bbw was to old well the lochness monster is the oldes coaster there and its still running.
I am scared to death of coasters but didn't see any huge climb and drop on youtube so I THOUGHT I would be ok.. I cried the entire ride! We have season passes and now that's the only coaster I'll ride since I've already rode it and because I'm still too scared of the others.
Don't be scared it's a little scary at first but you'll end up loving it!
That sounds awesome :) But was it a really fun place?
might sound stupi but what is the diffrence between the blue and orange one ???
Ive been on this one!!! I love it its amazing!!!
This looks fun when your watching this was my first
This was the first roller coaster I ever rode and I was around 10, very scary.
Same
This was the first coaster I ever rode and I was 8
This is going to be the first roller coaster I will ride and I'm 12 how is the ride
+Jenning Cromwell hm well it all depends whether you like role coasters. a lot of people like them but it's one of those things you either like or don't. I personally didn't like it though because I now have a fear of all role coasters but I say give it a shot :') for people who do like them it would be an amazing role coaster
+Berrypaws ok thanks
dose it go upside down
My sister is 8 years old and really wants to go on this. Would this ride be a good first roller coaster for her? Btw, she is tall enough to go on this and we are going in just a few days, so I need some answers as soon as possible! Thanks so much!! :)
do they allow the gopro chest mount
drop rack almost gave me a heart attack!
Thats it?
