Holiday World Adds a Launched WingRider - Pics and Video!

Thank God, I was worried it wouldn't ever get painted.

Thanks to Coasterforce we can now enjoy Thunderbird in glorious 60 FPS!

Pshhhhh.

That last video is for 3D glasses by the way; not your fault though, I guess CF uploaded the wrong video.

[Paradox]

^It actually isn't as CF also posted a 3D video and I made sure not to link to it, but it is definitely messed up as the entire picture does not fit on the youtube screen.

Here's some Thunderbird Photo's I took at the Passholder Preview. If you're subscribed to the Coaster Crew, I have some footage of it being released soon. I will be taking more photos and video this weekend. Enjoy

Also: This POV is fantastic.

Wouldn't it be cool if Holiday World joined a mission force that killed one bird for every Thunderbird rider?

Inb4 PETA.

Isn't that the theme of this roller coaster? Misleading.

inb4 getting hit by a bird on the voyage.



Still a memory that shall haunt me forever.

Not even an eagle accidentally flying directly into my mouth and down my throat could make Voyage a bad experience.

I love people on other forums are b*tching about The Voyage, like pls. eat da booty.

^I remember someone other than me said awhile ago somewhere "nobody on these websites can even think" and that really stuck with me

Robb was b*tching that the Voyage was too rough and rattly.

Because all wooden coasters are glass smooth like a B&M right?

^haha, not even all B&M's are glass smooth! (Green Lantern for example, and even Nitro if you get Train A this season)

Some hot off ride shots!

Just gonna leave this here...

So on season pass preview night I got 1 single ride in. Today I got 25 rides in. My God, I love Thunderbird. I tried every seat, and honestly, the Front Left and Back Right give the best rides.

Fixed the image for ya

the Front Left and Back Right

Help me with this, because I thought at least front right > front left (by prediction). Just by personal belief. The right side obviously has a taller highest point because of the Immel. Being on top of the Immel would be sweet. The right side flips under the zero rather than over (the portion of a winger zero-g that I prefer). And the right is on the outside of the helix, which means faster helix.

And ultimately for a winger I believe front > back, so that's why I arrived at the front right for my first ride (8 days)

The Front Left has more near misses, and it really adds to the experience. The Zero G roll also feels like it snaps better on the left. If you can, try every seat, hopefully you'll get a good crowd level, you can just test a bunch out. I rode the front right at least 3 times today, and it's a noticeable difference between the left.

Spent a little cash and got myself another shirt today.

I know my aide and I will at least try all 4 corners. But yeah that's an interesting observation.

Another thing, The Voyage last weekend rode as good as it usually did. But I don't know what the heck happened, today it was unbearably rough. My insides were screaming.

Probably because you rode Thunderbird 25 times
