=JP= Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Just a quick FYI for anyone who cares... Wicked's tower was topped off today. The track has not yet been installed on the tower, but the tower is now fully up. Its looking like a June opening date. Pictures will be posted later tonight on the LagoonisFun Forums.
=JP= Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Another update for those who... well, care. Wicked's Track is 100% complete and it looks great. The pull through is expected to be done before the end of the week, and training/test runs should be following suit soon after. If you haven't seen any of the pics, you can go to http://www.lagoonisfun.com/forum/index.php?topic=1521.0 or http://www.lagoonisfun.com/forum/index.php?topic=1516.0 to see the two latest updates. Should be a great ride, and definately a great step in the right direction for Lagoon.
ECZenith Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 It's actually taller than I expected, vedddy nice!
Calaway Park Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 That thing must have some crazy acceleration G Forces if it's going to propel that thing up vertically... Does it stop vertically, with the train facing upward? Or does it just launch it out of the tunnel? [Lame...]
Lagoonperson Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Uh, testing won't be for a while. The computer software isn't installed yet.
pierced_b0i Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 Wow that looks incredible! Geagua(sp?) Lake needs to get one of these. What's the speed going over the crest going to be, anyone know?
verticalzero Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 The train will launch out of the tunnel into the vertical hill and over the top. Lovely choice of colours and a wicked layout will ensure repeat rides all-round
Calaway Park Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 The train will launch out of the tunnel into the vertical hill and over the top. Lovely choice of colours and a wicked layout will ensure repeat rides all-round Well that's lame, It's barely even a vertical launch. The upward section probably does barely anything anyway... If it did much or caused any forces it'd go too fast over the top...
Mr-N Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 i still can not believe this is a Zierer ... these guys from Germany surprised me !!
KrazyT Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Wow, This little coaster looks amazing. More parks should be building rides like this.
ctrdave Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Lagoon has been running test runs of Wicked for the last couple of days! A video was posted on the homepage of www.lagoonisfun.com . Looks like it could open in a few weeks time! Exciting news!
BDG Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Looks very smooth. Try to film the lifthill/launch next time. Thank you.
Loco Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Looks fun, but is it just me or does the train seem to crawl over every turn and hill?
linearinduction Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Wicked is Not being Launched at Full Power yet, and there was even a Roll Back Saturday Evening. I was lucky to catch what I could on that video.
Randomosis Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 I hear that it goes 55 mph (as fast as the Colossus) when it goes down the slop
ghost007jas Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 OMG no way?! Did you happen to read it here: http://www.rcdb.com/id3534.htm
WickedCoaster Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Wow. What are the odds? I was browsing a fan-forum for Wicked the Musical, when I happened to stumble upon this thread. Perhaps this is a sign...a omen.
xascher Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Guess what, its TESTING!!! YAY!!! There are rumours that people have already ridden it too, The ride is suggested to open on June 1
thatonekid Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Well, Wicked's been open since June 1st. Has anyone gone to Lagoon and rode it? Does anyone have pictures because I'm anxious to see them if you have have them.
timberterror Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I rode it last week. It's by far the most fun coaster in the park. The launch is very unusual since it's all the way up the tower. It's very smooth and the restraints are very comfortable. The tower and the zero g have lots of airtime. It was very crowded when we were there and I wish I could have ridden more than twice.
gnewton34 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Every time I see this thread I think it's about a ride based on the musical Wicked.
JimmyBo Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I went on Wicked this past weekend and I'm going to do a Photo and Video Trip Report soon. I must say that I was very disappointed in Wicked. I found The Spider to be my favorite ride at the park. Look for the update later this week...In the mean time, here's a sample picture of Wicked WICKED!
