Guy T. Koepp Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Any chance we might be able to do A CLUB TPR hammock camp up there during a trip? I would love to spend the night nestled in a hammock hanging from that turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 So what exactly is left still to construct? Is it just the first drop or are there other areas also not track complete? Based on the latest photos and video, it looks like the following BLACK sections is track complete. The big mess of track around the bottom of the drop is left to go up, but it looks like the structure and track bents are built for the RED parts and ready for it so the track can go in pretty quick. The drop is the biggest gap, and it's hard to tell about the roll and ground s-turns because they are hard to see in any photos. Of course this is just my best guess from looking at the photos/video and not official. Oh geeze, someone get the crayons away from Garbles.

chickenbowl Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 This coaster seriously looks like the best wooden coaster in the world (Other than possibly Lightning Rod). I can't wait to come out there and get on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear cut to me that this ride is looking like it will be the best wooden coaster in the world. I disagree, I think it's impossible to truly tell which one's better when you haven't even see a real pov of either. I think both layouts have extremely unique features and both use their terrain tremendously! I refuse to make any actual judgement until I ride both! Judging by how much I enjoyed Outlaw Run, I think it's safe to say that Wildfire and Lightning Rod will eventually become my two favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjollner Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 POV uploaded from Kolmården a few hours ago. Not sure if it brings anything new... But I'll just leave it here in case someone missed how completely AWESOME this ride will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Uh, isn't that way old? Well, if you click on the link to the video you will see that Kolmarden posted that the video was "Published on May 19, 2016." So it is possible that it is an old POV that they just re-posted, but it has at least been recently posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickflipbacktail Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 That POV doesn't even show the crows nest turnaround... Seems like the layout might have changed a little since that rendering was created! I just watched the old and new pov side by side, they seem exactly the same.

rollin_n_coastin Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 This is awesome. Another great reason to return to Sweden. I'm glad I finally checked out this thread again after reading all of the definitive arguments earlier in the thread that this project would never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm still struggling to believe the fact that this thing is being built in Sweden. In Kolmården. I will ride the shit out of that coaster when I return from the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
