Schwaben Park 2018 - Wilde Hilde Coaster

Schwaben Park in Germany has announced their new coaster for 2018! It will be a "Roller Ball" model coaster from the Swiss company Ride Engineers.

Looks like that one coaster type from RCT3 lol

That was a cancelled prototype Hersheypark was very close to building.

So it's basically a 1-sided zac-spin/free-spin that's designed to swing but not invert?

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Pretty much, I've seen the concept being around for a while. But it looks like this is the first park actually buying/building it.

Looks like a great coaster for a park that hasn't that much space. Although I don't think Schwaben Park had that much space issues.

Track for Wilde Hilde being built:

Track looks smaller than I imagined it would be.

Some train designs:

We need your help. What design do we take for the gondolas of our world-wide unique roller coaster "Wilde Hilde" - the totally crazy chicken coop?

I really like the designs from the chickens, hilarious
Design 3 is it for me

[herman116]

I also think the third design looks best. But the other two are also pretty good for this coaster.

A crazy chicken definitely suits the ride experience haha

I wanna see them top the drunk monkeys on Furious Baco.

Track is now onsite:

Looks really bizarre so far. Definitely going to check it out when it's finally done.

Im curious how fast they will build this. The ride is scheduled to open this year, they're a bit on the late side with construction

Well this went up quickly...:

Guess that answers your question RCT3andNL2stuff

[Dirk_Ermen]

This thing keeps looking bizarre xD Really curious on how the ride experience will be.

Trains are also now onsite:

I don't get it.... this sideways track looks impractical especially for the wheel assembly design. maybe it's just me... and it'll work just like any other coaster....
It's really ugly and bizarre tho.

That is the fastest construction time I've ever seen
I'm curious which train design was chosen

[Coasterkidmwm]

But is it a bad design if kids decide it isn't painful? The intamin thing at SFMM seems to be universally hated for whatever reason.

Anyone for an upside down chicken???
