It looks like a Swarm render with the background changed.


Not sure if legit.

That would probably explain it. Looks like a clone of the Swarm from that imagine though. Same drop and same location of roll.

EDIT: Not a clone.

That twist through the Airport tower looks so sick.

Uhm......... wat.
This looks by far the best Wingrider B&M has made, and I'm going on it. For sure.

The barrel roll through the building, everything looks so awesome!

i rode iron wolf when it first opened, actually just before, on military night 1990 the funniest part was riding a coaster with snow on the ground under it . i remember liking it quite a bit the times i rode it . it also seems to be historic so i'm glad it's getting saved.

Lol, I'm pretty sure B&M hasn't designed this new, and it looks to me like a relocation.

Am I not the first one to post this? Sorry if I'm not, I don't pay a lot of attention to coaster news.

Yeah it's the same ride relocated.

People seem to think new trains will make it less rough or whatever, but I really feel like it suffers a bit from the whole not really being heartlining super well because it's so old thing.

Like when it opened it didn't even use the standard B&M shoulder harnesses (the yellow ones it has now) and it had some red ones (intamin?).

It's not a bad ride, it was just never really a priority.

Also the drop into the corkscrew kind of hurt my nuts in the back seat since floater air into a tight turn followed by a very whippy corkscrew in the opposite direction gives them a good slam. The trac is set up so they can add a trim at any time which they never did.

Personally I'm more annoyed they killed the car ride for the new coaster. Maybe in the coming years they can add another flat ride to replace it.

Then again the badass Demon artwork, the fact that the Whizzer still runs, and the Little Dipper relocation thing is kind of stand out for the chain since they never do stuff like that.

That was my favorite ride at the park! Oh well, the replacement looks fun I guess...although I would've much rather had Dark Knight replaced.

It's interesting to think, what is B&M's oldest design is actually now their newest. Ha

^You have no taste. It was the best ride in the park, besides American Eagle.

And you say this after all of the horrible things it does to people's junk?

Whizzer gets old. It's a fun ride, but I wouldn't call it the best.....

I think people would stop telling you how much they don't care about that ride if you would stop bringing it up ALL the time. It's too much.
