Mossed Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 We'll here is.my last guess. With all the bird clues I can't help but realize this is a wing rider. But she keeps saying it is one of a kind so my guess is a...... Flying wing rider. It makes perfect sense as it really emphasizes the flying coaster experience as there in nothing above or below while laying down . That would be epic.

parkjunkie Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I am all for a wingrider. I dont know why so many people want a flyer. They are uncomfortable, a tad slow on the load and unload, kind of boring, and dont give you that "punch".... at least IMO. I would rather see this be a sit down or floorless, but I have no complaints about a wingrider. I would love to see HW build a wingrider that compares to no others yet built, something that really says "this is how you do it". And IMO all the clues and evidence points to a wingrider. Theres a little chant that keeps going through my head that keeps saying "wingrider, wingrider, wingrider....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Mojo Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 B&M isn't German. This is going to be a MACK. But Switzerland speaks a dialect of German as there main language. So it is B&M That's reaching. It's going to be a MACK. The whole German thing killed the B&M idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayCoasterGuy Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This whole campaign has me really wired tonight. Can't wait til tomorrow! I'm so excited I can barely think I'll have friends at the park, I'll be watching from Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geek Mojo Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 It's all fun...Can't wait to find out. Let's all pray it's not a flyer or wing if it is a B&M. Those two types would be disappointing and a waste of 22 million dollars in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 ^^Agreed. Plus, they said DON'T Bellyache and Moan. Which means NOT a B&M. My guess, new prototype from Mack (or possibly B&M), maybe a. Launched flyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two types would be disappointing and a waste of 22 million dollars in my opinion. I think everyone keeps forgetting the "one of the kind" and "truly unique" statements. If its a flyer or a wing, there is going to be something completely new or unique about it that sets it apart from ALL other flyers and wings. So one cannot say from the get-go that a flyer or wing would be disappointing because there will be some element about it that you have never experienced before.

cereed09 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) It says designed in Germany, not that the overall manufacturer is there. Werner Stengel used to do projects for tons of coasters based out of Germany for Intamin, B&M, etc. He still advises and there is the Stengel Engineering company out of Germany.

Locostitch Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 It says designed in Germany by a designer. Werner Stengel is just the designer and has done tons of different coasters out there from Kingdaka to Mystery Mine at Dollywood and Bizarro I'm sorry but, wtf? Where are you getting your info or are you just a troll because your post is not only confusing but complete ludicrous. And if you happen to be right and Werner Stengel comes out of retirement to design this then this will be kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm really excited to find out what this is going to be. I'm even more excited knowing that I'll get a chance to ride it next year on our annual HW trip. Bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickrollercoaster Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The footers aren't close to anything Mack has made. "Bellyaching and Moaning" basically confirmed it. It's B&M. I'm positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkjunkie Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've got to say, theres quite a few people here that would make GREAT detectives..... and a few others here that would hold the door open for the robbers (and also make me want to bash my head into a wall with there absurd comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravity55 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) One thing about todays clue. It says the creature carried the passengers. If it carried the passengers, they wouldn't be sitting on the wings. Still sticking with my prediction of a B&M teal tracked flyer with the worlds first lying down launch.

hey...hey Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thought Intamin for a brief second, but the footer pics from the shredded paper don't match up and also you would think the Kochs know about Intamins early reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benboyrocks Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The clues do point to 2015 bringing Holiday World a wing rider. I'm okay with this as long as they do what Cedar Point did and magically make the restraints not break your collar bones. That'd be awesome. A launching B&M WingRider with some sort of water element is my call. And I think it will be called The Storm. But what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saldek Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Sticking to my guns with B&M..."german speaking country" and the majority of Switzerland speaks German. B&M's headquarters are located in the French speaking region of Switzerland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervideo Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I have been following the forum for most of the past 66 days, and have to say that this has been a very thought out promotion that HW has put together here. KUDOS!! I have been thinking a lot about what this might be, and have been torn between several thoughts, but here is what I think it might be: It will start out as an Inverted coaster with some water elements, then all of a sudden, when you think that it is finished, the cars then go to into a flying position and then launch over The Voyage to complete the ride. It would definitely be the first of its kind, combining 2 separate experiences on 1 coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhcbiinoc Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I am late chiming in to this one, but this is my prediction-this will either be: 1. B&M Wing Coaster approximately the scope of Wild Eagle-complete with the 50" height requirement-and 3 or 4 inversions (loop, zero g roll and corkscrew) as well as some not-before-seen water feature; 2. B&M sit down coaster with 3-4 inversions and the first of its kind being either the new restraint system on the trains to allow for a lower minimum height and/or a water splash element; 3. A new B&M type altogether (maybe an LIM launch), although I think this is probably unlikely. Whatever the case-I think this is a solid, intelligent and bold move for this park. I look forward to the full reveal and wish the park the best as I have heard nothing but good things about Holiday World in general. As it became clear that they were adding a B&M coaster from the clues (the pieced together blueprint from the scraps of paper, the footers, the cost and the other clues) I was surprised that they were getting one, but thought it made perfect sense. Even if this does turn out to be option #1, I would be happy about that if it were my home park. I know I am in the minority as a fan of the Wing Coasters (well, as much as I can be only having ridden Wild Eagle thus far), but if I owned a park and could only get one B&M coaster to start out with, that is likely what I would buy as they are visually impressive, can manage a lower minimum height, and are fun and thrilling while still accessible for most people.
