Ap0ptosis Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Slept in for just a few minutes and now I hear I missed the POV and I can't seem to find it :'(
Intaman Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Seriously, this looks like a fantasy layout from RCTIII or NL, only it's real. Can't wait for this!
robbalvey Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 Seriously, this looks like a fantasy layout from RCTIII or NL, only it's real. Can't wait for this! EXACTLY! When they first showed me the layout I was all "Wait, what? This is HAPPENING?!? This is REAL?!?!?!" Crazy...
Dr. M Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Looks pretty sweet! Now they just need to build one this big and awesome in Americaaaaaaa........ preferably in Pennsylvaniaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...........

If only there was a "Like" button for your post, Robb.
KingdaKa Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 It rocks, I love how they make use of that unique mountain terrain.. Can someone from kolmården post the whole Press Conference video and of course that awesome POW presentation.. I'm so going to sweden more often, first Helix now this AMAZING
robbalvey Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 Just got off the phone with Mattias, they will be sending me the POV shortly, BUT... they want everyone to know there is new one... a BETTER one coming! But we'll at least get to see the one they showed during the press conference.
G-Force! Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Insane looking coaster to say the least. You guys are lucky to get this beautiful creation, and sadly I'll probably never get to ride this thing.
robbalvey Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 Wildfire POV: NOTE! This POV video is for layout purposes only! A new, better POV video will be provided by the park soon!
Warbird Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Very cool wooden coaster. Fits the place very well.
Totopez Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 This feels so great. Up until just ten years ago (ok, 11 years), Sweden was very far behind when it came to coasters. Both Liseberg and Gröna Lund have always been nice parks, but lacking the little extra, justifying a trip of it own. But nowadays, with Balder still being in my top ten list of woodies, Lisebergsbanan still going strong and Helix opening this year, and with all the things Gröna Lund has managed to cram into the very limited space they have, Sweden should at least be worth a detour on your European trip, if you only do it once in your lifetime. Tomorrow, with Wildfire, I guess there is a reason for every coaster enthusiast in the world to come here. See you in 2016!
az623friend Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 This isn't a game changer like it has been hyped up around here to be. This is just inversions and tiny airtime hills. Not worth traveling around the world for. The only thing that's impressive is the length and the first drop. What exactly has all the excitement and build up been about really? It looks like a good coaster possibly great but nowhere near living up to the ridiculous amount of hype. I can think of 20 other existing coasters I'd rather ride right now off the top of my head.

Well Sweden in itself is worth traveling around the world for, so this coaster is just an awesome bonus worth taking the drive from Stockholm for. Look at it that way. I, personally, am planning to be in Europe for quite a while in 2016 and was wondering which countries to prioritize, and this kickass announcement has cemented my decision to visit Sweden first (along with Denmark and Norway, of course).

TPRrickard Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 All the hype was real! I'm still in shock, it feels so good to live in Sweden right now!
tarheel1231 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Well, everything great in life has a catch. No one will be able to ride it until 2016.
Vtafro Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Knowing how outlaw run rides, this will be amazing, should be last paced and have a gorgeous view. Also the world needs more RMC coasters. Well 2016 or later I'll need to get back to Sweden.
KingRCT3 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 The press conference been uploaded on Kolmården's YouTube, Robb.
SharkTums Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I wouldn't put too much thought into people who just joined the site to say how much the ride sucks, they're obviously just trolling. This is game changing for several reasons. 1. It puts RMC in Europe which is a huge deal. 2. The ride will produce some of the strongest airtime ever attempted. 3. This is a proper length for a strong wooden coaster. 4. This completely changes this park and the group that owns the park. 5. This will most likely be a brand new top three coaster in the whole world.
TyRush Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 ^Cheers to that. This looks absolutely insane. I love the "stalls" that RMC has shown now. The one on Goliath under the lift hill and now the one of this, that's got to be an awesome oh crap moment on a wood coaster
