Gutterflower Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Part of the watercoaster rises. (supersplash is in the background) Supersplash also going up with pretty much the same colour track but different supports. The B&M is in the foreground still not vertical.

Jhcbiinoc Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I saw this on another board, and already posted it in the China Trip thread, but wanted to post it here too. Supposedly this is the layout of the Wing Rider, and it matches the layout listed on RCDB): RCDB Listing Roller Coaster: unknown Amusement Park: Ocean Kingdom (Zhuhai, Guangdong, China) Classification: Roller Coaster Type: Steel - Sit Down Status: Under Construction opening 2013 Make / Model: Bolliger & Mabillard / Wing Coaster / Custom Height: 164' 1" Inversions: 3 Elements: Dive Loop Zero-G Roll In-Line Twist (I love how it is one inch taller than Gatekeeper.....and I love the 164' 1" Wild Eagle style drop into the giant Dive Loop, the zero-g over the water, and the tunnel going up into the inline roll.) If that photo is the layout.....that is quite impressive. Not sure why they don't have as many inversions but it does look like a solid ride to me.

3Mutts Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Promising... Hope it turns out like the other two projects B&M had in Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxelmatic Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 This is the most unique wing rider I've seen yet! I'm jealous that Asia gets all the slightly forceful and unique Intamin, Vekoma, and B&M rides... why not Europe or America? Oh, well, one more reason for a TPR tour!

australianalex Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 That looks awesome! Hope that's the real layout. By the way, it's not an inch taller than Gatekeeper as Gatekeeper will be 170ft tall according to RCDB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernierocker Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 That looks awesome! Hope that's the real layout.By the way, it's not an inch taller than Gatekeeper as Gatekeeper will be 170ft tall according to RCDB. I think he was referring to the drop on Gatekeeper which is listed as 164' on the Cedar Point site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 That looks awesome!

I think he was referring to the drop on Gatekeeper which is listed as 164' on the Cedar Point site. Judging from GK's lift to drop ratio, their seems to be at-least a 6-foot clearance. So unless Ocean Kingdoms's wingRider drops slightly below grade, GK will still hold the record. This coaster (Judging from above stats) should have around a 158' drop(again, that's with a 6' clearance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Sorry to bump but I found a no limits POV of the wing rider: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=r1obo4GZ1tw&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dr1obo4GZ1tw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Interesting - that looks really spread out for a Wing Rider. It'd be pretty cool if it went underground like that so many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Stop putting obnoxious techno music in NoLimits/RCT videos! Looks like a pretty decent layout if it is in fact the layout. The underground sections seem like they would be interesting on a Wing Coaster, but there really isn't anything about the layout as a whole that screams "Wing Coaster" (but then again, Wild Eagle is the same way, and apparently it's pretty good). It could easily just be like any other above-track B&M Sitting, Standing, or Floorless coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the ghost Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Looks cool but the No Limits model is already off because this looks like it's going to have the "inverted drop" which is why I never listen to "non park" media. I am sort of surprised by the success of wing coasters in general though... I mean do they really bring new stuff to the table? I pretty much see it as a floorless coaster with a different train design... but B&M does have a good reputation so I guess whatever they build turns to gold(besides the standup) but regardless this seems like a cool project. Despite the fact that it is already off if there is any of that awesome terrain work seen in the pov this will be awesome, but by the same token the layout(from the pov) seems too drawn out to offer much in the force department.

australianalex Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 ^ From the pictures it looks like it's going to be a straight drop to me? I see no twisting, and it's pointing downwards. By the way, the winged seats offer much more freedom than the cars on floorless coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 ^ I think your right... it looked twisted to me earlier but now for some reason it doesn't. Maybe the pov is accurate after all. Regardless this is going to be interesting... especially the bit of the pov where it goes under the bridge and the way it interacts with the water.

Condor Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Has anyone found another POV? The video on the last page is now private. Looks like a nice evolution of the wing coaster design, though contrary to what some are saying I think Gatekeeper looks better with a more complete layout.

3Mutts Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 ^ I don't really know as this one will most likely have no trims (more like Skyscraper and Hair Riaser in terms of forces) and Gatekeeper is definitely going to have those (force less) with it being in the sue happy country called America.
