JordyC Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) World novelty in Schwaben Park World premiere in Schwaben Park announced for 2018. Next year, the first of its kind roller coaster "Wilde Hilde" by Ride Engineers (RES) will be built in Kaisersbach, Swabia, which is a perfect complement to the existing attraction portfolio. The Swiss company "RES" will join in the hard-fought roller coaster market and plans to open its first own roller coaster in 2018. The prototype of the "Roller Ball" is to be placed in Schwaben Park next to Force One and is like a family-friendly version of the ZacSpin by Intamin or FreeSpins by S&S. Thematically, it refers back to the farm theme, more specifically to a Chicken Coop. And with the name "Wilde Hilde", the roller coaster will have a short but fitting name for the theme. But what makes the Roller Ball so special? By lift, it goes to a height of 25 meters and then follows a veritable "mess". Before each drop, the gondolas are braked with magnetic brakes and will start to rock back and forth, before it goes down the drop and the direction of travel is changed. This makes the attraction very suitable for families. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Source Edited January 13, 2018 by larrygator
DirkFunk Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Well, it can't be any worse than Green Lantern.
Nrthwnd Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 The video shows it slowing down just before each drop into the "next level" of track, thus preventing flipping. I guess that will convince more families to ride it. Fun video, by the way.
YoshiFan Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 It reminds me of the Frequent Faller coaster that was supposed to be added to Hersheypark in 2005.
thrillseeker4552 Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Looks like that coaster model from RCT3 is finally getting built! Strange, but cool.
Rill'o'beily Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 This seems to be the first ride ever by this company actually built, they have some pretty wild looking rides on their website including a double loading version of those ABC Tourbillon rides going to six flags parks this year.
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Holy shit. That damn RCT3 coaster is finally getting built?!?! I'm in shock.
fraroc Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Holy shit. That damn RCT3 coaster is finally getting built?!?! I'm in shock. It almost got built in 2005 at Hershey. It was ultimately cancelled and Hershey ended up suing the manufacturer that was building it due to a breach of contract.
WestCoasterKing Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Now that actually looks like more fun than a ZacSpin (haven't done FreeSpin yet, but just from the look of them I don't think I'd like it. I don't like flippy rides). But this thing looks fun.
Alice Kane Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Sorry if this is too off topic, but this 'high &twisty' design made me recall a couple of You Tube videos I recently came across. (I suspect that quite a few listers here may have found these already.) I personally would name this coaster The Kevorkian and get a fast pass when "my time has come." Final credit! Euthanasia Roller Coaster Similar video... with more 'science' narration by the designer. A Coaster Designed to Kill. Alice
cfc Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Holy shit. That damn RCT3 coaster is finally getting built?!?! I'm in shock. That was my first thought, too.
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 You know, the more I see this project the more I find myself thinking "This would be such a great fit for Dollywood or Silver Dollar City." #OneCanHopeRight?
Jaykethekid Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 You know, the more I see this project the more I find myself thinking "This would be such a great fit for Dollywood or Silver Dollar City." #OneCanHopeRight? If you look on their website their concept art for this coaster model shows it themed with a bunch of gears and such. It could accompany Time Traveler with that theme

Maybe we can wait to see if it sucks and has miserable capacity first before we fantasize about them selling 56 of these? The art also shows three 4 passenger vehicles, which is...not much.
cfc Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 ^Yes, it might be a good fit for a small family park, but not a major theme park.

Sounds like we can expect them to start popping up at Six Flags parks across the county.

It froze my device and restarted it with missing programs. Hopefully the company can fix that. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk
BansheeFanshee Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Gotta love those rooster themed cars . By-far the best looking part of the ride, but it's also nice to see another company going into the "4D" market.
larrygator Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 ^Yes, it might be a good fit for a small family park, but not a major theme park. As we have seen there are plenty of these unique. low capacity messed up coasters that live in rural German parks, that have never made it to America.

Maybe we can wait to see if it sucks and has miserable capacity first before we fantasize about them selling 56 of these? The art also shows three 4 passenger vehicles, which is...not much. If they added another car and hustled with loading/unloading then the capacity wouldn't be as bad. When I first saw the concept art I wasn't a fan but the video changed my mind. I really dig this concept! It looks fun with the swinging and the little drops.
A.T.I Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 ^Well it's obviously going to have more than 1 car. Based on the size of the layout, I'd guess it'll have 3.
Adervus Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) It is testing now and is scheduled to still open in August Edited August 19, 2018 by cfc
PKI Jizzman Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 It is testing now and is scheduled to still open in August I hope there's a rooster crow as you go over the lift in real life
DoinItForTheFame Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 ^ Agreed. Cock sounds would make the ride a MILLION times better!!
