Mr. Corn Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 To start, please don't be rude, but I'd love to respectfully hear your opinions on this idea. Send Flight of Fear to World's of Fun to become their new 2017 or even 2018 addition. Use that Flight of Fear space for an Alien themed launched wing coaster for 2018. It could have a Furious Baco style pre show room before launching out of the building. It would be an out and back style wing coaster headed towards Dominator. Also, there was lime green track spotted outside the B&M Ohio plant, which would support this idea. Let me respectfully hear your ideas below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill_s Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 ^^-- there's no way to fit a B&M wing coaster in that building. Â Â Re: Hurler, I rode it last year and it was the roughest ever, even with the trim brake. And I think one reason it got a trim brake in 2010 instead of proper maintenance is they were starting to throw ideas around about replacing it. But they may still have yet to actually decide. Anyway, I don't think it needed structural problems to be considered no longer operable, or at least worth guest's attention, or even to fail inspection. On the other hand, they did tear down and rebuild Carowinds' version's first turn, so it may have needed more than just new track. To get the ride back up to quality standards will take as much work than they've put in to Grizzly and Rebel Yell combined since 2008. Additional changes would be needed to keep it running that way for long. Â Note, while Hurler was closed spring 2015, all I saw was changes in the handrails around the track similar to Grizzly and Woodstock. Perhaps they didn't meet code. Â I'm sure some here wouldn't like a new Hurler even if RMC was let loose on it, but it was a legit ride at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 ^^-- there's no way to fit a B&M wing coaster in that building. Â No, no, no... the building is being sent to Dorney and the ride is being sent to Worlds of Fun. Only the aliens would stay behind for theming on the new coaster. Please try to follow along.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 If y'all really don't want it, we'll take Flight of Fear at Worlds of Fun. Your loss. Enjoy that wing coaster.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Here's something I would like to see: a winged hypercoaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Here's something I would like to see: a winged hypercoaster. Â Sounds rattly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Here's something I would like to see: a winged hypercoaster. Wild Eagle is sort of like that. Its lift is 210 feet, but the drop is only 135. Â Sounds rattly. None of the wing coasters I've been on were that rattly tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotOneOfYou Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Sounds rattly. None of the wing coasters I've been on were that rattly tbh  I have a feeling he's referring to the complaints about GateKeeper rattling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 ^ pretty much, which is funny because Wild Eagle is \technically\ taller and just as buttery smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Every wing coaster is butter smooth. I'm being amazingly sarcastic. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadox17 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yeah, Wild Eagle is the only one I've been on, and it's one of the smoothest coasters out there for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defrocker Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yeah, that definitely sounds safe. Especially if it's a hypercoaster with airtime as you suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Well we always complain about B&Ms not being intense enough, no vests on a wing coaster would be wild as **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Actually, a wing coaster with the old B&M restraints sounds awesome tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 What I mean is the overhead lap bar without the best restraint attached to it. B&M is doing this for their junior inverts since they don't go upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yeah I know, but it also made me think of the old restraints as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sythe Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I hate the vest restraints -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I'm OK with the vest restraints but the fact that the lap bar tightens mid-ride and you end up with it digging into your hips and collarbone is kind of annoying. I do prefer the old B&M restraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 It appears that I'm in the minority because I think that the vest restraints are some of the most comfortable OTSRs I've been in (I say one of, because Intamin's new restraints (Maverick, I305) are insanely comfortable). For me, they fit just right and they don't feel uncomfortable at all, and I really like that there isn't anything that I could possibly hit my head on.

Tee1999 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Haven't been to KD in a while. Heard there's some type of land clearing for fireworks? Anyone been to the park recently and saw it themselves? Also land clearing for fireworks sounds kinda odd to me isn't it kinda dangerous to put it very close to a roller coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
