And she is done!

From coasterfriends:

[simaticable]

For a permanent coaster, this has to be the fastest construction in a while. This thing just flew up there in no time. Huge props to the construction crew on this.

[SharkTums]

Wow! US Parks could really learn a thing or 300 from how most International parks get their rides up in plenty of time for opening day next season!

[DJeXeL]

^The only US park that takes their sweet ass time is SFMM. I don't even think they named their "Kiddie" coaster yet.

Heide Park handled business on this one.

[RCT3Bross]

This construction has some serous speed, I don't even see them slow down after this. The park is one and a half month away from winter closure and I kinda wonder how it will look then. It looks good.

[Loefet]

Not only is the ride complete in the sense of track and supports, but according to people on Coasterfriends then the trains will arrive next month and they will start test-running and do TÜV inspections before January 2014

They are really putting the construction of this ride in overdrive to get it done ASAP. Wonder how long this beast will stay dormant until opening?

 

Love it that there is such a nice new coaster being built so close to home (apart from Helix that is ).

[alexinla]

According to the press release, Heide Park will announce the theme and story of the new coaster during there Halloween Show on Oct 19th.

Trains will arrive from France(?)oct 10th and 24th

[rcjp]

France? I thought they were made in Switzerland. Anyway, good to know they will be arriving soon. Can't wait to see this ride in action!

[PKI Jizzman]

Looks like it will be a solid ride. Lots of head choppers, unique elements are what I like most about this ride - and the space it fits into!

[IndoorSurvivalist]

This looks to be one of the more unique layouts B&M has done in quite a while, and it looks absolutely amazing.

 

I have yet to ride one of these wing rider things, but it looks like a layout like this is much better suited to this style of train as apposed to the layout of something like Wild Eagle that is much more traditional.

 

If I could pick one of these to theoretically ride first, it would be this one

[CorkscrewFoley]

Actually, Wild Eagle is more uncoventional with it's layout because it didn't have the stretched out zero G roll or the RCT style inversion off the drop...But yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and could see the same for Heide's new wing coaster.

[DougMJr]

I feel like such a bad enthusiast. I totally missed the construction of this! I saw the post when they installed the first supports and then next thing I know they complete the circuit, seemingly overnight. Wow, that's how you get 'er done, eh?

[CorkscrewFoley]

Doug, had it not been for a few friends on Facebook, I would have been in the same boat...It happens to the best of us.

[JonnyRCT3]

That bunny hill will either provide some great negative G's, or plaster those restraints onto your body. I'm a bit shaky with this element

[Thri!!er]

The same I thought too.

[Angry_Gumball]

Wow, that was some fast construction! This looks like it will be one of the best Wing Coasters to date.

[Wood Dragon 1988]

What an awesome coaster skyline. A sea of green and white and then that awesome Intamin wooden coaster in the background!

 

I've got to get to Heide Park one day.

[MrSum1_55]

Heide Park must really love painting their coasters white with green supports.

 

Seriously, how many other parks (other than the former Expoland) can boast four roller coasters painted the same colors?

 

The layout looks fun. It may not be too intense, but it seems unique. The only wingrider I have ridden is Wild Eagle, and my problem with it is that the layout does not really seem to take advantage of the wing coaster technology; it could be a floorless or an inverted coaster, and it would probably feel no different. However, this seems to have several elements that will feel unique on a wing coaster, including that crazy-looking double inversion element. Although I still do not believe it will have many G forces, it will be fun.

The white/green painting of the coasters in that area are du to some regulations, but I can't remember exactly what.

The whole White-Green combination were much worse in the past when most other attractions were painted in the same fashion.

Thankfully they did a re-theme of the large selection of Huss rides in the park which reduced this White-Green number to just the coasters (more or less).

[RCT3Bross]

This is really ridiculous they already remove the station's scaffolding at one side:

So the finished track.

Shop has been isolated and the walls are covert.

Station progressing.

Scars are hand made. I have a feeling the rumored bat theme will come.

Track inspection.

Stations roof got themed.

Scaffolding removed here. I really hope for a sinister theme, or els this doesn't look great.

Getting ready to close the footers.

Lots of footers prepared.

A real beauty like this.

Man this construction doesn't slow down one bit.

[_koppen]

 

That looks awesome, yet so weird.

[_koppen]

Looks like they had to modify a footer to make the clearance big enough for the train.

[B&MIntaminGCI]

That doesn't look like a footer, it looks like a concrete wall, but I can't make it out.

This is a really great picture. Duality, yin yang, all that.
