^One of my favorite coaster pictures of all time.

"HEY MOM, WHEN CAN WE TAKE A TRIP TO GERMANY?!?"
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

Wow, she is looking beautiful! I need to ride her right now! :wink:

Seriously those photos are valid proof that this will be the best of the Wing-Riders! I really need to get over to Heide Park next year!
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

I think in 2015 onwards it'll be even better.
If it gets faster like Swarm has over the last year, it'll be like a new Nemesis <3

(In my opinion it will be)
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

Looks good, but best one ever? Come on now. Every one built in Europe gets those remarks. X-Flight looks just as good.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

I would say this looks a lot better, X-Flight is just an improved version of The Swarm, but this ride is unique in every way except for the drop and even that is still pretty unique.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

Take this with a grain of salt, but this coaster kind of reminds me of Hydra @ Dorney. Weirdly shaped elements in a "non-standard" order... I like it just fine, but a lot of people seem to think it's not very good...

Maybe it's just me?

I've never really understood all of the ill attitude towards Hydra. It looks like a fine ride to me, I'm not entirely certain why people tend to rat on it.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

It's because it's a big bag of turd ;)

Hydra's layout is fine. That's not the problem. The problem is that it it's rattly, uncomfortable and unpleasant. It's not your typical, smooth B&M.

If it was smooth, it'd be a different story.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

More coasters need its Jojo Roll, less coasters need that incessant rattling from the first drop to the brake run.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

The jojo roll is sadly the best part of Hydra too.

I wasnt expecting such a rattle on it either. Was worse then Skyrushs massive knocks
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

Wait, what are you saying? Aren't B&M's always "smooth as silk"??? :roll:
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

Generally speaking, they still are....there is just one exception to the norm.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

A new near miss element has popped up along the track.

I have been wondering, that "clearance-car", how is it measuring the clearances? I mean, it looks like it takes the arm-space into consideration, but just how much arm-space, and is it always 100 % secure?
I was hoping someone could answer that for me.

Anyways, looks good, if a little out of place, but they still have good time to integrate it better.

Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

I don't remember the exact measurements, but they use the tallest person allowed to rides measurements.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

Clearance cars take into account the largest arm distance of their maximum height rider, yes :)
