The story
Verbolten is a steel launched roller coaster located at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia, United States. Manufactured by Zierer, the family coaster opened to the public on May 18, 2012. It features multiple launches and was built on the former site of Big Bad Wolf, a suspended roller coaster that closed in 2009. The park's creative design team assisted Zierer with the concept and design. "Verbolten" is a play on words of the German word verboten, which translates to "forbidden" in English.
