This is a thread about Wildfire. If you'd like to discuss Lightning Rod, please do it in the Dollywood thread, not here. Thank you.

Great to see it finally open. It's been a long way but happy to see it all come to this. I should start booking my trip really soon.

I didn't know that the another train is GREEN! And that is a good-looking train! I like the design so much, in my opinion it's One of the best trains in the world!

 

Watch this video, it shows some "backstage" and stuff like that.

I'll second this!!!

This really does look like one of the greatest rides on the planet. Breathtaking.

In my opinion the Green looks a tat bit better with the red, both look amazing.

This RMC looks like Goliath and Outlaw Run had a baby. In other words, the Best RMC yet!

[LiftThrill]

I will say, based off of POVs I still think I'd prefer Lightning Rod, but that's by a very slim margin. This thing looks ridiculously amazing.

I am so ridiculously excited to ride this on August 5th! It potentially can be my 600th individual coaster!

I look forward to enjoying it vicariously through you, since that's probably the closest I'll come to actually riding it for years!

We have been riding Wildfire all morning! Holy crap! This ride is absolutely out of control insane! Will have more photos & video later!

[WickedCycloneFreak]

Rob is it your new favorite wooden coaster?

[shadox17]

I think It's impossible to take a picture of this coaster that isn't gorgeous I need to get to this!

Great review!

Here are just a few of Hanno's awesome Wildfire photos!

 

[Superbatboy]

Wildfire really has some beautiful looking trains

[RCT3Bross]

I wish I could get over there like right now, just a month longer and I can.

[RyanTPM]

Those train photos are wonderful!

How's the average wait for Wildfire? I'm thinking since Kolmården is more of a zoo than an amusement park maybe the lines for the rides would be a bit shorter than they otherwise would've been. Also I'd really want to go there within the next few weeks and it would be helpful to know in advance.

It's sort of hard to tell since the ride has only been open 1 week!

I feel like Wildfire is to RMCs as T-Express was to Intamin Prefabs nearly a decade ago... sort of the culminating crown jewel of the collection, really putting everything together and pulling out all of the stops in one giant ride. Can't wait to hear full reviews and hear how it stacks up against other RMCs and wooden coasters! Awesome pictures

Am at Kolmården right now, Wildfire's been up and down all day. Right now the second train (I think?) is running with the front row closed off.

 

Coaster itself is super awesome though.
