I just came from BGW today and when I went on Verbolten, I blacked out for maybe 2-3 seconds on the helix after the first launch. And almost blacked out again on the second turn after the drop to the rhine river.

Did this happen to anyone else? I mean the forces on Verbolten are strong, so it would seem as though others might black out to.

Sounds like you're really really wimpy.

Or maybe dehydrated.

He is a shark so he is always hydrated, therefore he is just wimpy.

I greyed out on the helix after the first launch. It's actually pretty intense.

I actually began to grey-out on the final helix on Speed at Oakwood the other week, it'd never happened to me before so it was an odd experience...

^^^It is intense.

But I think I blacked out because I rode 10 roller coasters that day. I never blacked out before so maybe I rode too many coasters.

Verbolten was my first ride of the day when I visited and it even made me grey out that first ride. The helix is just taken pretty quickly and has sustained forces.

I neither grayed nor blacked out at any point of the ride. I've ridden it 17 times; 11 of those in one day.
Just keep scrolling...

Wow, I hadn't see the inside of the building at all and that looks pretty awesome.
