Projektion Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Current status of the supports. yellow = built. https://www.instagram.com/wildfirekolmarden/ Judging by the what the supports/footers look like in this pic for the lift/drop, I feel there's another surprise heading our way.

coasterfreak101 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 ^Interesting. The animations show a sort of truss under both of them, but supported by wood - looks like maybe they won't be supported by wood after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 No surprise we will see Goliath style lift support structure! It would make more sense on this coaster though since this limits the rock digging they'd have to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 ^ This guy is so cool! I know there are a number of people out there who "report" to the gp about updates and such. And do it in a friendly, easy going manner. This guy is no exception, and I wish a few other people were more like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Looking at that picture and based on the footings, the lift and drop structure will look like this with wooden supports on the turn at the top. Excuse the horrible animation and box track. I just put this together real quick as an example based on the footings in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravity55 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I don't know if they've previously listed a month that they planned to open Wildefire, but according to the latest video, they're shooting for June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlvr Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I don't know if they've previously listed a month that they planned to open Wildefire, but according to the latest video, they're shooting for June. on "the experience" video, it was listed in the text in the beginning. could have been mentioned earlier, but i'm not sure.

BDG Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Well, this is a weird video... Why would they show us those 2 rides... unless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I've been waiting for another Falcon's Fury to pop up somewhere else. Wouldn't shock me if they plan to add one! Imagine the view from the top looking at the water and woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Nooo! They should be at Tokyo Disney Sea!!! Joking aside, yeah another Falcon's Fury would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Well, this is a weird video... Why would they show us those 2 rides... unless...

Imagine the view from the top looking at the water and woods Honestly I am surprised no one else has purchased another Falcons Fury that ride is awesome! Of course for a drop tower they won't be cheap I'm sure but I think in Europe it could be a big draw as the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anac0nda Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 If someone was still doubting about the steel/wooden structure of the lift hill and drop, I'd say based on this episode that the structure will have metal scaffolding, kinda like Goliath. Also, just imagine a RMC coaster and a Falcon's Fury drop tower next to each other! If they have convinced the government about building tall amusement rides, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't buy a drop tower, regular or similar to FF. That'd certainly bring in the adrenaline junkies (and enthusiasts!) and put Kolmården even more to the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BintamiM Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Well I guess kolmarden wants go be something like bgt. A combination of a high end thrill park and zoo. I think bgt is the best example for them to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 ^That actually makes a lot of sense. I didn't think about it when I saw the video, but when you're a zoo starting to develop into a combined zoo and thrill park, it makes sense to check out how a park like BGT has combined the two. Great to hear they will start putting track in place soon, really looking forward to see that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Honestly I am surprised no one else has purchased another Falcons Fury that ride is awesome! Of course for a drop tower they won't be cheap I'm sure but I think in Europe it could be a big draw as the first. The ride only opened late 2014. It usually takes a few years before a new ride catches on. Blue Fire opened in 2009 but we didn't see another one until 2012 and nowadays they are opening up everywhere. Also it's definitely not as expensive as one would think, Falcon's Fury costed around $6 million which is probably standard for a 102 meter drop tower. Smaller versions are available, the smallest one is 60 meters tall and seats 4x4 riders, which would be significantly cheaper. I guess we will see more of them in the coming years. If someone was still doubting about the steel/wooden structure of the lift hill and drop, I'd say based on this episode that the structure will have metal scaffolding, kinda like Goliath. It will be a wood/steel hybrid structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelRush Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I think that RMC stole an element design for the outwards wave turn from some random NL2 designer out there, and didn't give credit! I can't remember who it was, but I'll post a link if I find out where the proof is It is quite an honor to have your design be used by such a great firm, but he should have gotten paid at least a small amount for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a wood/steel hybrid structure. This is just a rendering. There is still a possibility that the structure will just have the metal scaffolding structure like Goliath. I mean... Goliath's original rendering. The actual product: (in case anyone has forgotten) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The wood structure seems reduntant when you have the steel trusses. As said above, it's just concept art and doesn't always match 100% with what is being built. I at least will wait and see before making any conclusions.

I posted a similar turn on their Facebook and THEY LIKED IT (literally). Coicidence? I think NOT. (that's a joke, and as CP Maverick said, there may have been many designs of this before mine) If someone was still doubting about the steel/wooden structure of the lift hill and drop, I'd say based on this episode that the structure will have metal scaffolding, kinda like Goliath. It will be a wood/steel hybrid structure. It will be steel only, see this blueprint: (Park's Instagram) Spot the sparse footers for the lift and the drop.
