RCT3Bross Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Here some pictures of a Dive-loop or Immelmann. Hard to tell which way you go through it this early. (Although I think Immelmann is more likely.) Also some new footers will come under the lift hill. Source. It's looking good. I'm looking forward to Sunday.

ECZenith Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nice photos, that first half of the Immelman is pretty tall, this coaster will be larger than I expected. They will have quite the nice couple of B&Ms with Krake across the park.Hopefully the ride will have equally impressive theming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 After our last winters were quite intense it's good to see they already go vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(4 ft 7) More details on the website tomorrow: http://www.heide-park.de/wingcoaster2014 www.freizeitparkinfos.de © Heide Park Edited August 20, 2013 by BDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I expected they announced the name too today. But I think they do that tonight and place it tomorrow on the site. (Just guessing here.) It sounds like a interesting ride. Found this one on coasterfriends. This seems like a odd section of track when you look at the supports near it. I have 0 clues on how it continuous.

Jakizle Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 It already looks pretty amazing going through and around those buildings. Too bad these things look so great and ride kinda meh. Will be interesting to see the layout at least for the visuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Pictures from the construction can be found here. This one is between them. The lay-out from above. Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom497 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 When are they gonna update the 2014 website??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmoreISnAZN Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I really like the look of this ride. The way they are fitting it within the existing structures makes it looks like the ride will weave through some building with some close clearances. Hopefully, this ride will create that illusion of near-misses better than other wingriders. Looking forward to seeing how this ride will end up!

Besen Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I just hope they'll make that one better than they did "Krake", which was a little too short and small (for a dive coaster) in my opinion. At least the layout and the first construction pics look more promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 ^They did go all out on theming Krake, though--it's one of the cooler looking Dive Machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Found the lay-out of the Winged coaster. Looks like some good near misses. For some reason I think the glass floor rumor will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 ^Yay for an airtime hill that looks like it will actually deliver airtime! And that pretzel looking set of inversions in the bottom right looks sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywolf88 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 ^^ If that little air hill is anything like the one on hair raiser at ocean park I will have a newfound hope in the wing coasters actually being thrilling rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 That element that contains inversions 4 and 5 looks awesome. Look like a Dive Loop into a inclined loop that pulls out like a flat spin and then into a helix like the end of x-flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 This looks really fun! I really liked all the near misses on X Flight so this ride should deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 That layout looks wicked! The sideways-pretzel-loop at the end looks like a lot of fun and the dive under the gift shop should definitely pucker some buttholes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 There's definitely some unique elements on this one! II know it is smaller, but I think it looks way cooler than Gatekeeper. Going through the gift shop, that airtime hill, and that funky dive loop thing have me interested. Looking at the theming of Krake, I'm sure this one will be pretty awesome. I'm interested to follow this construction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I really like that layout. It seems the wing coasters look better when they are smaller in size as they need to make up for lack of big drops. That airtime hill after the wing over first drop looks like it will deliver whereas Gatekeeper's didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavethewhales Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 That is an exceptionally well thought out layout. Most of the other wing coasters are essentially standard looping coasters that happen to have wing coaster trains, but this one actually takes advantage of the train design and should provide a unique, thrilling ride. I wish the wing coasters in the states had been designed like this. I love the dive under the gift shop, and the near misses with the track itself look good. Also like that it doesn't have a MCBR. That seems to be a modern thing now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom497 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Is the name of the roller coaster "Wing Coaster"??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kailisun98 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Wow! That looks like an awesome coaster. For some reason though, I find B/M wing coasters to be a little more rough than other B/M coasters. Is that only me or are there others who think so too?

_koppen Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 At 40 meters tall, and 100km/h it is certainly bigger than expected. with all the near misses, Transylvanian vampire themening, an airtime hill that looks like it will have ejector and a kick ass looking layout, this will probably be the best wing coaster of them all. I dare to get my hopes up. I really love the layout. Krake was my favorite ride at Heide, in terms of the overall feeling. The theming was purely awesome, and extremely well done, so I think this well be just as awesomely themed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeT Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Wow...just wow. If it really goes directly from the inverting drop into a tunnel/cave...then over the airtime hill...then INTO the souvenirshop...then into the immelmann...oh yesss...could probably be one of the best opening sequences of any coaster Edited August 19, 2013 by GeorgeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
