Ocean Kingdom | Flying Over The Rainforest | B&M WingCoaster

Re: Ocean Kingdom | Flying Over The Rainforest | B&M WingCoa

It looks OK... definitely a different turn from the first four WingRiders. Rather than being inversion happy, this focuses more on terrain and turns. I'm particularly a fan of that splashdown - will be cool with floorless trains.

I'm looking forward to the final product, to see if there is a broader application for B&m Wing Coasters outside of typical inversion happy layouts.

^Are you just saying that, or do you know that for a fact?

The height of this coaster is the same as GateKeeper's drop (164'), and this coasters rail's (seem to) meet ground level, giving it a greater-than or equal-to drop height. That's my reasoning.

^Yes, but it's not going to be going very fast through the roll, whethers this, once disengaged will drop immediately.

On this ride when the train enters the drop the back of the train will still be on the lift slowing the speed of the drop. On Gatekeeper when the train enters the drop the back of the train will have cleared the top of the lift and so the train will have nothing holding it back when it hits the drop.

I couldn't give a **** if one will be fractionally faster that the other to be honest. The drop on this will, in my opinion, be better than the one on Gatekeeper due to the fact that it's just a normal, straight drop. Basing this off Swarm, Gatekeeper won't feel like a drop at all really.

While the drop-type-thing on Swarm was a fun element, I actually preferred the straight drop that Raptor has. Add in the substantial extra height that this thing has, and the drop is going to be fantastic.

It looks like it could be one of the best aesthetically pleasing wingriders with the awesome theming and the color scheme. I'm glad it's something different from the other wing coasters.

I am not going to lie, this roller coaster actually looks a lot better than GateKeeper. I've only ridden Wild Eagle, but that first drop was truly amazing so I think this drop will be better than GateKeeper's. Also, it has a really sexy dive loop, horseshoe, inline roll, and tunnels.

I've never been on a wing rider, but from all the POV's and picture this looks like it will be the best one in the world. The layout just looks really really fun and flows well. There isn't enough green coasters either

This ride is starting to look really good, a few weird transitions though.

Sorry to follow on directly with more pics. Some of the themeing here looks like it could be amazing.
Especially on the 2 Macks.

I hasn't seen this posted anywhere in this thread so I thought I would go ahead and share:
I found a video of what seems to be initial testing!
The surrounding area looks really interesting and I am very excited to see the final product.

Totally forgot about this one.

I like how the ride is spread out quite a bit. And the trains look fab! Interested to see how it turns out.

Re: Ocean Kingdom | Flying Over The Rainforest | B&M WingCoa

I really like the looks of this and the entire park! Once it opens it'll join Knight Valley, Ocean Park, Fuji-Q, Nagashima, Everland, DisneySea, and Universal Singapore on the list of Asian parks I want to visit.

This looks very epic, and it will be better then my beloved X-flight.

That's one odd Beemer.

Love the tunnels, though.
