Holiday World Adds a Launched WingRider - Pics and Video!

^
Makes you think on how many trucks they need!
Plus do they cover the track up on the road? Or is it left exposed?

I can imagine exposed, seeing as the track is exposed all the time anyway and there are no loose parts.

Wow, I really like the track color!

The supports have a really unique color to them.

[TTD03]

I disagree entirely. They are shaped that way to keep the G's in check and keep the track compact enough to be exciting. You'll notice on the majority of wingriders whenever strong positives or negatives come into play they're designed to minimise rotations (due to the outer seats experiences extreme forces). This is no different in this case and its something that creates a comfortable ride.

NightWindElf seems to have been conveniently absent from the thread since the announcement

EDIT: I kid, of course.

Big talk from a nub. Frankly, I've been absent from the thread because I don't care anymore.

This just goes to show, "Anything is possible."

They are yours? As in taken by you?

Oh, no. Those ones are ones they posted on their Facebook. I should probably move the caption up where it's more visible.

Does it though? This has been done before remember. B&M still haven't designed their own launch thus making it costly to bring in two different companies to design a B&M with a launch (which I imagine is the primary driving factor behind there only being one other example of a launched B&M).

Id like to see a B&M coaster with trains in a B&M take on Expedition GeForce style trains, Bizzaro, etc.

[TTD03]

Would be interesting!

Do you mean 2 seat B&M Trains? because Steel Dragon already has those, and they look awsome!

Sort of kinda, like an Arrow type train for Corkscrews, that didn't hurt, and B&M pimped them out
