Verbolten at RCDB |
Verbolten is a Zierer multi-launched partially-enclosed steel roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia. The concept was jointly designed by the park's creative design team and by Zierer of Germany.[1] "Verbolten" is a play on words of the German word verboten, which translates to "forbidden" in English.
