Heide Park Showing Off Newly Named B&M Wing Coaster

[TheArchitect]

Germany's Heide Park has finally given their brand new B&M Wing Coaster a name : Flug der Damonen, or Flight of the Demons. Sounds pretty menacing, but fits nicely with the dark theming that we've seen applied to the ride so far.

The coaster has been testing and a new video of that has also been released:



The ride's seven car trains look to fly over that first speed hill, but then slow down considerably in all the other elements. No way to know if the train is up to full speed yet, though, so I will reserve judgement on that front until the ride is open to the public.

Regardless of speed the multiple 'near-miss' elements that have been included in Flight of the Demons look wonderful, and are sure to have plenty of riders ducking along the way.

Looks Great. Wish I could visit. I like the airtime hill and the Norwegian looking thing. Looks like one of the more.. "original" B&M layouts.

An official POV was released from the park. I hope that was running on parts that need to break in more and terrible wind conditions/cold, because this ride runs SLOW relative to X-Flight in Chicago.

Ugh the layout is so fluid. I love how the elements unique to this winger ended up riding. I bet it'll get faster; I know from experience that GateKeeper did between May and August.

Yeah Swarm which is a fairly similar ride in terms of size had really really slow run through first time but has more pace to it now so it doesn't 'hang' on the elements. Looks awesome though!

I mean aside from the speed issue in the video it's a very well planned out ride and I think the layout is stellar

Nice. Looks like it was designed in NL and the builder forgot to choose a track color, lol.

"The ride's seven car trains look to fly over that first speed hill, but then slow down considerably in all the other elements." I count 6 cars. Or I'm blind lol.
