[owentaylor121]

Im not sure really, but by the looks of it, X- Flights' looks longer,

One, I really love that picture! Never seen it before
Two, I still think Baco's is longer, could jsust be me though.

I'm really not sure on this one, it looks shorter on that picture, but this may be the fact that it's takin from a greater height, so it looks smaller.
I guess we will just have to wait for UC to come and tell us. :wink:

I think they're probably pretty similar in length, however Baco's doesn't do a full revolution so it feels longer. If Baco's did the full rotation (like this one does) then I think it'd be longer, but in terms of 'how long is the element' I would have thought they're fairly similar.

X-Flight has a 3000' length and Furious Boco has a length of 2788'. So X-Flight is defiantly longer.

^We're discussing how long the barrel roll is, not the total length of the coaster. We know X-Flight is a much longer ride.

Opps sorry for my mistake, I think X-Flights barrel roll looks longer.

Inside the station. <3
The coaster is going to look great as it flies by in that barrel roll.

Couldn't agree more Jerry. I kinda like how simple and practical the station is, it seems to suit this futuristic theme quite well. I'm also a fan of the operating booth and the stairs over the end of the station platform.

Looking good, can't wait to see how well they pull off the rest of the theming.

Those trains look brilliant, I can't wait to see some testing footage.

Not exactly testing footage, but... Yeah Boyee!

It's a beaut alright :-D

 

[Gazza]

Just noticed this is the first Wing Coaster with 8 car trains.

 

[CPcisco]

Isn't that the spot in the roll where the train goes through the tower? They seem to be lacking a tower though.

^Give them a chance to build it. The footers are there and the ride isn't opening for another six weeks.

 

[rollermonkey]

Ride was testing today.

 

[ECG]

^Now if only someone would post a photo of it testing today.

^ Why did you re-post a picture that has already been posted by Jerry?

 

[rollermonkey]

Sorry, when I posted that I was on my iPad at a car dealership and that picture didn't load.
