coasterfreak101 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I've yet to get on a wing rider, and I can already tell you that this is my favorite one.
RCT3Bross Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Looks like they had to modify a footer to make the clearance big enough for the train. Source That support behind the wall also looks very close if you ask me. It will aether just miss or hit it. Good to see that the chain is on site (Check Koppen's source for picture) they keep it going there.
Mrlittle Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 The layout is cool. They should give them an award for "Quickest Coaster Built". I'm sure the ride will turn out great for the GP.
_koppen Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 That doesn't look like a footer, it looks like a concrete wall, but I can't make it out. Good catch, I didn't notice that!

mark549 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 That looks awesome, yet so weird. This is a really great picture. Duality, yin yang, all that. Looks like they could have had the world's first interlocking Immelmann loops if the rides were just a little closer together ...

As you can see, the support is holding the track where that clearance checker is.
RCT3Bross Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Heide park has updated their site with a Bau-cam (Building camera). If you ask me the position isn't the best blocking the entire view with the shop. There is also more background now, giving us more insight on the theme. It looks like a old, spooky, middle ages castle, with makes the bat/Dracula (Since the original books talked about Dracula living in Transylvania) theme more and more likely.
markysharky17 Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 This ride is going to be sick! I can't wait for testing to start!
Tasman Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Heide Park posted some really good picture of the new wing coaster and the rest of the park on their facebook website: source: Heide Park Facebook Page Edited October 1, 2013 by Tasman
SoCalCoasters Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Wow.... That's an incredible set of photos.
UrbanLegend Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 That first picture... and I thought that an SLC couldn't be more ominous than it already is
SFOGdude25 Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Cool! Looks like the dive machine is dropping into a deep abyss!
gisco Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Pretty cool pictures of the rides sticking up out of the fog.
_koppen Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Train has arrived! The station is starting to look awesome. Source
RCT3Bross Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 It's great to see the trains have arrived. Although I can not say much about it at this time (without the theming and stuff) I'm happy. Seeing those pictures makes me realize this coaster is just perfect for the skyline of the park. I have to say Those are some nice cool fog pictures.
Baffles Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I love how they have slotted the ride in a tight space, but have been so sympathetic to the surroundings. It's a beautiful park.
RCT3Bross Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 The story of the new ride has been but on the site: Fliegende Dämonen wurden von Dorfbewohnern heraufbeschworen. Ein Fehler. Denn seitdem brauchen sie immer neue Seelen, um ihre Energie zu erneuern, stärker zu werden und ihren Flug fortzusetzen. Die Dorfbewohner opfern die Seelen der Besucher, um ihre eigenen Seelen zu retten. Betrittst Du das verlassende Dorf, musst Du Dich den Dämonen stellen. Schon andere haben versucht, die Dämonen zu stoppen. Doch kein Hindernis kann sie aufhalten. Die Dämonen reißen Dich mit sich, pressen Dich mit dem vierfachen Deines Körpergewichts auf ihre Schwingen und rasen in atemberaubender Geschwindigkeit auf Hindernisse zu. Mit nichts über und nichts unter Dir und acht unterschiedlichen Flugmanövern rauben Dir die Dämonen im Wing Coaster jegliche Orientierung. Niemand kann sie aufhalten. Sie wollen Deine Seele. Du wirst nie mehr Du selbst sein. Bist Du verdammt? Oder kannst Du Deine Seele retten?" That's German so well I think a translation is needed. Flying demons were conjured up by villagers. An error. For since they always need new souls to renew their energy to become stronger and to continue their flight. The villagers sacrifice the souls of visitors to save their own souls. You walk into the abandoned village, you have to provide the Demons. Others have tried to stop the demons. However, no obstacle can stop them. The Demons tear up with it, you press with four times your body weight on their wings and race at blistering speeds on obstacles. With nothing above and nothing below you and rob you eight different flight maneuvers demons Wing Coaster in any orientation. No one can stop them. They want your soul. You will never be yourself. Are you damned? Or you can save your soul? Sounds like Merlin goes on as usually. Still no name but I'm not surprised at all. Notice on the site itself the whole picture is shown (even with a guy winking at you, if you like too be winked at ). For construction self, the scaffolding around the shop is gone but no real progress to see. Also I noticed that the trains will be 6 rows long, instead of the usual 7 or 8 rows, something that caught my attention. If you want to hear the story in the park you can go 26th of October, before the pirate show they show it one more time.
markysharky17 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 What a weird story. I'm hoping that we will get to see the theming of the trains on this soon. It looks like a good ride but seems weaker then most of the other wing coasters. I have only been on GateKeeper which I thought was weak. Imagine how this will be.... But I have to give this one credit because it has a good airtime hill.
sodapop79 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 There was an Illumination on saturday at the Halloween event: And there is a video about the last track segment:
BDG Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I love how they have slotted the ride in a tight space, but have been so sympathetic to the surroundings. Not quite... They chopped down an awful lot of trees.
Baffles Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 True - however they have not started putting them back yet. Nice update from the 20th here.
