This family inverted roller coaster sends riders hurtling through a German Hamlet. GuernseyTingle worked with the park to create an immersive backdrop for the ride that features damaged village facades, celebratory scenery, and a larger-than-life wolf trap. We coordinated closely with theme park engineers to ensure that the unique theming structures safely interfaced with the roller coaster's sweeping, low-flying inverted track layout.

In addition to the on-ride theming, our team designed a new entrance structure, departure station, and retail space. Look closely and you can spot several references to the ride’s predecessors, along with clever design details that help solidify this family-friendly ride’s status as an anchor attraction for this beloved regional park.

Celebrate an unforgettable chapter of theme park history built on a foundation of thematic architecture and thrilling set pieces.

Verbolten: Forbidden Turn at Busch Gardens Williamsburg

The layout inspired the new design from the start, particularly the classic scream-inducing drop- which occurs right before the coaster takes riders back outside into the light after disappearing into the darkness of the Black forest, which is largely set inside a multistory building. “I wanted to make the story centered around that.” -Richard Smith, Creative Director.
