A.J. Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 While the delaying of the coaster is a bit depressing, the park belongs to the locals just as much as the tourists.
RCT3Bross Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Bit sad about the news. I wonder how the future is of this project, still hope it will be completed someday, I really wish to ride it one day.
Nickstroberg Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Fucking people always have to strive to control shit that isn't theirs.
rcjp Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Bit sad about the news. I wonder how the future is of this project, still hope it will be completed someday, I really wish to ride it one day. Me too. And I thought I'd be riding my first RMC next year
jedimaster1227 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Here's hoping that all parties involved have amicably resolve this matter so that the ride (or something like it with a modified layout) may be built... The park and the surrounding businesses would surely benefit from the park's expansion.
ajfelice Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Concern of negative environmental impact. Concern of excessive noise from the attraction. Concern of traffic problems. Smells similar to a Ravine Flyer II legal battle. Hopefully, this one doesn't take almost ten years to resolve.
TPRrickard Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I would honestly rather wait a few more years for a Wildfire with it's original layout, instead of a modified and sterilized layout that is approved by Länsstyrelsen. As long as the zero-g stall remains untouched, I'll be happy. This entire opposition is really because of neighbourhood conservatism, which I completely understand, I would also be sceptical in their position. The way I see it there seems to be no real environmental or noise related issues, so I hope for the project to continue shortly (probably won't though...). If noise should be a problem, I seriously wouldn't mind a some noice reduction tunnels! Still, this is very depressing, living about an hour from Kolmården. I thought I'd be riding my first RMC, but this is obviously not happening anytime soon...
KingRCT3 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 How loud is a RMC? They can use a I-box track, it sounds quieter.
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 How loud is a RMC? They can use a I-box track, it sounds quieter. Outlaw Run- very loud, definitely will get complaint Others- from the videos, NTaG is almost Gerstlauer silent.
robbalvey Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Chatted a bit with the owners of the park today. I'll say more when I can but as of right now they have told me to share this message: "Let everyone know that Wildfire will happen and we appreciate all the support that we are receiving from coaster fans all over the world."
TyRush Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Well that is certainly a relief! I sat back and watched the POV a few more times today and if this never happened it would be a shame.
coasterchitchat Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks Robb. Hopefully the park and the locals can reach an agreement on this. Once this opens I'll be buying me airplane ticket to Sweden!
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 That's such a relief. It's the matter of time now, hopefully it will happen just as planned.
RCT3Bross Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Happy to hear the plan is still on. Now we can do no more then just wait till the park releases more. Let's just hope the delay won't be big.
rcjp Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Great to hear that. It would be a real shame if it didn't come true at all.
_koppen Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Both the park and the local politicians want this, so it will definitely happen! The question is when
glouthan Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Whew! Thank god! Was worried there for a second. How loud is a RMC? They can use a I-box track, it sounds quieter. Outlaw Run- very loud, definitely will get complaint Others- from the videos, NTaG is almost Gerstlauer silent. I believe that they should be able to use the polyurethane wheels like they did on Goliath to make it quieter (Goliath's initial test runs did have some noise, but now that coaster isn't loud at all).

I believe that they should be able to use the polyurethane wheels like they did on Goliath to make it quieter (Goliath's initial test runs did have some noise, but now that coaster isn't loud at all). They are going with nylon wheels on TC and WC. Their track manufacturing is accurate enough to ensure smoothness. The top layers need to be replaced every 5 years so the track damage from nylon wheels doesn't matter anyway.
rcjp Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 The problem with those would be the drag they create. Wildfire is relatively long and in the animation seems to maintain its speed pretty well so I would assume they'd have to use steel wheels.
gisco Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Wow, 20 appeals, there are always going to be people that don't like change.
DJeXeL Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 And CGA thought they had it bad with their neighbors!!
_koppen Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Wildfire is relatively long and in the animation seems to maintain its speed pretty well so I would assume they'd have to use steel wheels. Nah, that would never be allowed, to much noise. It's all polyurethane!
