Holiday World Adds a Launched WingRider - Pics and Video!

^ He'll soon ride T-bird like 250 times!

Oh yeah! We also had the lucky privilege of riding Thunderbird and we crossed over the voyage train just like in the animation. It was awesome!

Voyage wasn't rough when you rode it! That's awesome, can't wait.

Oh, The Voyage... So last friday it ran like a dream. But I don't know what happened, but today it was bad. So bad. :[

it could be just a bad day for the ride lol

I hope its good for me when I ride it for the first time in August!

Voyage wouldn't have this many problems if they would have just switched to the Timberliners!

PTC's pretty much destroy track.

Ayyyy 45 rides so far. Hell of a lot more this weekend.

^ That's pretty good!

So, 42 rides in one day. Not too shabby eh?

I don't know how you do it dude lol. That ride is so god damn short and sub-par =(

So before you were praising the ride, but now you say that it was bad?

I don't understand your reasoning at all.

Because I rode it, and my opinion changed.

Sometimes something looks really good, and then turns out to be not as good as you expected it to be. I don't see how that reasoning is so hard to understand. Have you never been disappointed by anything in your life? Lol.

Lol sorry. I didn't realize that you went to the park.

I just want to know why the ride didn't meet your expectations.

Well, out of 94 coasters, it's around my 30th ranked. It's not bad, it's fun while it lasts. But when you ride it, you truly feel how short it is. It kind of seems like it just needed one more spotlight element to top it off.

Obviously still worth riding, and a good addition for HW, but if you pit it against Wing-riders like X-Flight and GateKeeper, it doesn't stand up. That's simply to say, I could not ride it 42 times in one day (but I don't know if I could do that with any coaster)

I think one more inversion would have been great, but this ride was definitely aimed at families instead of intense thrillseekers like the Voyage was.

How was the launch? Does it have any force at all?

Yeah that's true. A lot of little kids were riding it and loving it.

The launch is good. Pretty much like you'd expect, though. It's really instantaneous and strong at the first moment, and then not so much down the run. I really hope to see B&M dabbling in launched multi-loopers in the future. That's a realm full of possibilities.

So apparently this happened.

It took the #1 spot for me easily.

Wing Coaster? Check?
Launch? Check (Which is the why the ride is so short, there's no lift hill.)
Inversions? Check
Insane elements? Check

Out of all 4 wing coasters I've ridden, It's simply the best. In my opinion. The other 3 are a bit sluggish at times, and Gatekeepers pacing is just blah. Thunderbird does not let up the entire time. It is constantly forcing you, flipping you, and throwing you. It is every bit of amazing that the Wing Coaster should be.
