viking86 Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Fantastisk! Jeg ser virkelig fram til å besøke Kolmården i sommer! (Yes I'm so excited I had to write that in Norwegian)
KingRCT3 Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 ^ But but... Kölmarden is in Sweden.. Anyways, I'm happy that the King Turn is taking shape.
viking86 Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 ^ But but... Kölmarden is in Sweden.. Two different countries, but also two very similar languages.
mjollner Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 April-weather in Sweden. It's always crazy! It rains, it snows, it hails... You have the awesomely warm and pretty days and the incredibly cold and windy ones... It switches like crazy. Sometimes within a day. It's like nature can't decide if it's winter or spring... For some reason, I love the voice and demeanour of this Damien dude. Seems like a great character!
CedarPoint Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 A construction update from a very snowy Kolmården
RickardSjoden Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Took some photos of Wildfire today. Got some problems with my camera, sorry for bad quality, but I just had to show you these photos. It truly speaks for itself. Area theming coming along nicely Lifthill structure completed today
coasterbill Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 I normally don't care about overseas additions since it's unlikely that I'll ever ride these rides but good god that looks ridiculous...
deguy123 Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 I just saved this as my background!!! Come on September 14th!!!!
RickardSjoden Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 I just saved this as my background!!! Come on September 14th!!!! Takes roller coaster beauty a giant leap forward. Amazing... Another one for you. More track visible.
viking86 Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 I feel that I'm just repeating myself for every update, but holy crap!!!
_koppen Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Also some more info have surface about the situation with the building permit. During the fall the Land and Environmental High Court granted permission for another appeal, this time it's the last stage in the hierarchy before it's final. A decision will come during the fall 2016, but Wildfire will be able to operate on an exemption this summer since it in fact have received a building permit (that is being challenged). An investigation about the birdlife and the coaster will have to be done this spring and is gonna be part of the final ruling. It is however highly unlikely that the high court will come to any other conclusion than what the regular Land and Environmental Court did, but they just can't skip the highest court for the sake of it (this is Sweden after all). Also Kolmården is feeling so confident in this ride that they are proceeding with construction, so I don't see any reason to worry here. What's really is annoying is that the park have to live with the uncertainty. Also annoying is all the levels of bureaucracy there is in this country -.-
TyRush Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Holy shit. That picture deserves the full word instead of $hit. Because holy shit look at that view. Oh I see its filtered so I can't even put the full word, you get the point. Wow
Arn'O Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Kolmården has done something INCREDIBLE! I can't believe it is really happening, and i'm surprised if that is not world's best roller coaster Really, this coaster is amazing! Sweden won gold with this.... "unlike hockey this year" -Said a normal, bit jeallous finn:ME! Edited April 30, 2016 by Arn'O
chickenbowl Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 I'm seriously considering buying a plane ticket to Gothenburg just to ride Wildfire, Helix, and Balder. This looks INSANE!
RyanTPM Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Oh wow, that is great picture. And that video as well, really impressive, this is going to be quite an incredible coaster!
The Great Zo Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 This is funny. Someone mentioned this several pages back, but the recent video had a clearer shot of it.
bf9 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 You Swedes are so lucky and the general public has absolutely no idea what they're in for. Like has been said a few times by the looks of it Wildfire may end up becoming the best roller coaster in the world. It's is going to be absolutely beautiful when it's done, it already is quite frankly. It's literally like a Nolimits dream coaster made reality.
RickardSjoden Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Kolmården yesterday opened their new kiddie attraction Skalmans Hot Air Balloons in The World of Bamse. The new themed world opened last year and was the main reason for the parks great visitor numbers 2015, an increase of 40% (!) in one season. With this new ballon ride, and a additional ride next year, Kolmården hopes to keep the Bamse hype up and together with Wildfire, attract the whole family (small children - teenagers).
