hey...hey Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 now this... is the way wingriders were supposed to be!and it turned out to be the orange track what is that blue track for????? maybe leviathan 2.0 at carowinds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelated85 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Looks like the pacing through most of the ride seems to be quite faster than the other wingriders. Maybe it's the animation, but I hope it turns out to run that fast through the course. Very stoked for this ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamd Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I know I know "but Adam it's the first of it's kind how can you NOT be impressed?" comments are coming, but I am sorry I'm not overly impressed like I thought I'd be. I think a problem was they WAY overhyped this ride. I am in NO way saying this will be a bad ride, but there are so many better ways to spend $22 million or even less than a launched wing coaster IMO. A multi looping mack, a state of the art RMC. For those saying this has never been done before, I say you're putting a decent launch on a ride the coaster community labels as boring, forceless etc (wing rider). I hope it's very fun and a good ride as I will never FULLY judge a ride until riding it, but I still think Wild Eagle and Gatekeeper look better comparing animations.

GeorgeT Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Not shure about this being forceful. Acceleration is not impressive, maximum speed also. Wonderful promotion, wonderful park....and this will be very good. But kind of tame I guess. Also I´m not shure if this is better than "Flug der Dämonen" layoutwise. I was hoping for something more thrilling...but still...it will be a VERY nice addition to Holiday World Edited July 25, 2014 by GeorgeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDark8 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 now this... is the way wingriders were supposed to be!and it turned out to be the orange track what is that blue track for????? maybe leviathan 2.0 at carowinds? Judging by the 2015 Carowinds attraction blueprints, its nothing like Leviathan. I may have to drive 7 hours to Holiday World to ride this though, looks awesome.

JonnyRCT3 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Kinda short for a 22 million dollar ride. It still looks awesome! Launches aren't cheap. Especially with something as heavy as a B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless carowinds ride is a 300 foot invert, then i doubt they're getting the teal track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's very fun and a good ride as I will never FULLY judge a ride until riding it, but I still think Wild Eagle and Gatekeeper look better comparing animations. Exactly - this looks like the best wingrider out there IMHO - but it was pretty hyped. Overhyped? Maybe, but that's a testament to both our high expectations of HW and the great PR skills of Raven Maven and her folks. I was absolutely hoping for something... I don't know. A B&M, even a launched, unique, great looking B&M just wasn't it. Though again, this does look really great. Roller coaster existential crisis?

glouthan Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 To be forceful or not to be, that is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Looks like an awesome coaster! The keyholes on the left side look good but there isn't much on the right, they should add something else for the right side to go through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyRCT3 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Not shure about this being forceful. Acceleration is not impressive, maximum speed also. This is exactly what I was getting at earlier. A lunch will not magically change the way they do things, it will only eliminate the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad...the teal is mostly likely for Carowinds correct? If that is the case, maybe something over seas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier148 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I was just thinking about adding this to my Branson trip in a week, but I'll wait until next year now. It looks really great, very happy for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeT Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I`m not a fan of illusions. If the Immelmann and the loop will be THAT high, but the maximum speed is about 60 mph...than this will NOT be forceful ! But still I think it will be a great addition Oh besides : I love the color scheme Edited July 25, 2014 by GeorgeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyfreak92 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wow I am really glad that holiday world is getting good these days, and not just having wooden coasters! I remember on discovery isle rct2 I seen the creator making an launched b&m flyer, and a person wished it, and here it came! I also think that grNd Texas could get something like this!
