Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?
So it's not going to Chessington as a thrill version of Bubble Works? Damn!
Wouldn't that be made at the European manufacturing plant though rather the US one?

I thought B&M had stopped labelling their track pieces to protect customer's future additions, hence the generic X-Works...

Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?
Kyle just told me of a rumour for Magic Mountain 2013. The rumour goes that it's going to be huge and feature the world's highest inversion...
World's tallest wingrider?
I know nothing about said rumour though or where it's come from or the likeliness of it. Can anyone elaborate?

Hmmmm... B&M shipped 15 tons of cargo to the US in February this year...

Is it this? Who knows, but I found it interesting

Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?
Its said to be a launch as well, while going for worlds tallest inversion and longest US steel. It was started over on TPR where a couple guys overheard some ride mechanics talking "plans being near completion" or some jargon along those lines.
Its made it to the LA Times (or whatever that newspaper is called) online and got flamed for TPR being its only credible source of info.

Thanks Intricks. Doesn't sound much like a B&M if the rest of the rumour is launched and longest US steel.

Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?
My personal theory is that it's for Everland's new coaster, which may well be opening late this year as opposed to next year since it seems Asian parks are less predictable with their opening dates for new attractions.

Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?
Why is nobody interested in the shipping details?
It looks like they've shipped out coaster rails:
http://panjiva.com/Manufacturers-Of/roller%20coaster
So do they produce the basic steel in Europe then send it to Ohio for fabrication? If so, then they surely have a fabrication plant in Europe too, otherwise you're shipping tons of steel to the States and then the finished product back. Or maybe shipping is less than running two plants? Though you'd think if they can produce the steel here, they can fabricate too as a simple offshoot?
Anyone any ideas?

I am interested in the shipping details, However I don't think you can work out where this coaster will be located from it :cry:furie said:Why is nobody interested in the shipping details?

Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?
OF COURSE TPR gets upset and flames when they get the story scooped from them, and since one of their members was talking to a mechanic, they probably got banned, since they aren't allowed to talk to any park employee... :roll:
I still place my money on a Cedar Fair park. Also against SFMM, they have X2, while it isn't the same type, it looks the same, which may get people confused if they were even remotely close to each other...

Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?
This shipment would only have been coaster rails. The rails are cut and bent in Europe and shipped to Clermont. Steel plate is then cut and bent at Clermont and the two are joined and finished there as well.

Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?
See, this stuff is nerdgasm! Brilliant CPcisco, thank you very much
So is this for all B&M coasters, the production is split across the two plants?

Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?
^ When did Premier get pulled into it? I'd heard Mack and Intamin being discussed, but Premier wasn't mentioned.
One, they overheard the mechanic speaking to a fellow employee, they never physically talked to him.
Two, the news reporter got flamed for using a TPR rumor, not the other way around.
Three, SFMM is Alveys home park. He could have his way with a donkey in that place and get away with it as he gives them a LOT of supposed business.
