Holiday World Adds a Launched WingRider - Pics and Video!

Probably trying to get as much done before the snow starts to fall.

Damn, never seen them go so fast!
They are gonna be done before the season ends lol.

Nope^ Just ahead of schedule. (Directed at Deere)

Oh and make sure you give credit to whoever took the photos!

^ Yes, that is very important, so the site doesn't get sued

It is likely that progress is going quickly because of the impending winter. Both Thunderbird and Wicked Cyclone are located in rather cold places, and construction is going very quickly. But if you look at Fury 325 and Twisted Colossus, both of which are located in warmer regions, they are taking their time with construction as they don't have to deal with the horrible winters we do.

Don't forget! Expect a Happy Halloween Weekends Trip Report, and a HUGE Construction Update!

Loops done!

Finally a sexy element! Looping on a wing rider must be very fun!

On Wild Eagle, the loop was amazing. You felt like you were floating and every moment of that loop was amazing. So was the zero-g. I wonder how the forces of this will compare to Wild Eagle as it seems to be one of the most forceful wingers as of now.

Also, I'm curious to see how that turnaround thingy after the loop turns out.

I wish I could live near holiday world now

Can people outside HW see the train speed up for the 1st inversion? That'll be amazing if they can!

It's only 35 minutes from my front door

Enjoy

Wtf with that music

Oktoberfest?

I'm in love. Can't wait to show you guys all the photos I've taken.

Lol how did you get to the track without getting in trouble

Today I went to Happy Halloween Weekends, and let me tell you, it was absolutely the best year yet. Mostly because Thunderbird is standing tall. Here's just a few of the photos I took. The Up close photos of me with the track, and pictures of the track being so close were all taken within appropriate measures. No rules were broken don't worry. There's a trail leading up to the corn maze with gigantic pieces of track on display. I was just lucky enough to touch the track (Made my absolute day.) The Voyage is a completely new experience. Thunderbird's track already crosses over The Voyage and it looks incredible. I rode the Voyage over and over today just to get an up close look at the vertical loop. (125 ft tall incase ya didn't know.) Construction is going along amazingly. All the footers have been poured, track is going up daily at a fast rate. It's expected to be a complete circuit by the end of December. Please enjoy these photos and there are a ton more to follow! I'm just exhausted I had a hard time uploading all the pictures. Feel free to ask me anything!

The Walkway to Thunderbird's plaza. They're starting some landscaping and the area already looks amazing.

Here's my favorite photo from the day!
