Seconded. That pic looks bizarre!

[TyRush]

It will be interesting to see videos and see this open! Looks super unique

[rcjp]

Looks really nice. I also found it interesting that they're using six cars only which don't look that odd because the cars have a longer gap between them. Hope this will move faster through the course than other wing coasters 'cause that, combined with the layout itself, would make it a pretty good ride. Looking forward to seeing more from this!

[KBrylczyk]

I wish all parks had Heide's speed. They got this thing built and operational in record time, it seems!

[Olov]

Maybe they learned something from the experience of building Krake?

Northern Germany had heaps of snow the last 2-3 winters which was quite unusual before that. So I guess they put up the new coaster before winter this time - not gambling on how this winter will turn out snow-wise.

 

Will be interesting to see how Hansa-Park will handle the construction öf Kärnan as the Baltic Sea area also gets lots of snow every year lately.

 

I personally would be happy if the snow restricts itself to the mountains to where it belongs - I love chill but sunny winters...

Found a few more pictures.

Wow, this looks great! I really hope I get back to Heide Park some day for this and some more spins on Colossos!

[TyRush]

That station looks very cool! I love the "devious" side of the ride!

[RCT3Bross]

The Shop really looks like a close call. I really love the ride so far. Still hoping on a video anytime soon.

Looking forward to visiting Heide Park again next summer. That'll be 2 more B&M's on my list because during my last visit they were constructing the dive machine.

Does Heide Park still has a front of line upcharge ticket system ?

[FreeFaller]

^As far as I know they have a Q-bot system! It's called ''Express Butler''.

[Groteslurf]

^thanks. Found it on their website. The info is only available in German, not on the english version of the website, that's why I didn't find it last time. Great, purchasing Q-bots will be on my to do list when visiting the park

I like how, so far, all the parks with Wing Coasters have made some sort of effort with theming. It's easy to make the trains stand out, and the coasters at least look like they lend themselves well to headchopper effects.

[GwaziBSRider1]

^ I really enjoyed the head-chopper effects on Gatekeeper. I wish Dollywood would have tried to incorporate one of them because they're really interesting. On Gatekeeper, you always heard more screams during the cutouts.

The work inside the station moves along.

I love the layout of the coaster. I hope that it becomes the best one out of all the wing coasters that we have out there.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Hopefully the airtime hill after the first drop would create some real airtime like Hair Raiser instead of being completely weak like GateKeeper. This coaster looks pretty sweet, look forward to hit the park someday.

[StealthFan]

While it is well known I am not a fan of wing riders at all I will say this ride looks really good and the theming looks to be very good quality. I would like to think the ride will live up to how it looks but from my previous experience I just cant belive it will. But heres hoping I am prove wrong. I look forward to hearing peoples thoughts once the ride is open.

They all still look like the Predator alien/monster to me!

 

That's what I thought, too.

 

 

I thought the same with SWARM.

[_koppen]

Some fresh pictures. I really like the look of that station!

[DJeXeL]

Looking better and better.

[coasterfreak101]

Wow that looks amazing!

[Jon Sabo]

At first, I was not impressed with the station, but now its coming along!
