Looks lovely! Hoping this has Banshee/Leviathan/Fury 325 (okay, we don't KNOW it has this, but it looks like it will)'s forces! Wild Eagle has some decent forces if you sit in the back, with the smaller trains on this I wonder if this will give it the potential to pull some decent G's.

So far what I'm seeing doesn't look better than GateKeeper but I really like it. The setting they have for this one, like the other two I've ridden, should really add to the experience. Can't wait to see all this construction for myself here in a few!
 
Got a few pics from when I was there! Should bring another load back next week!

Behind the trees!

View from by the activity trail. This is probably the best place to see the current construction of the loop that isn't on The Voyage.

Some brake run action for all you brake run enthusiasts.

There's the start of the loop I mentioned earlier.

They made NO effort to hide the track. Any nerds with cameras that want to photograph it can photograph it.

I love that color with the autumn Midwestern landscape!

Immelmann!

Sort of an overview of everything from the road running parallel to Voyage.

April can't come soon enough!

I'm going on an absolutely crazy trip back next week capped by 8-hour shifts both before and after. Any requests for photos?
 
Re: Holiday World | Thunderbird | Launched B&M Wing Coaster

The third to last pic looks like it was taken in the late 80s. :/

As for requests, can you try to get some launch and station action? I luv dat launch. :p

I want me them LSM close ups. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) coaster p0rn


The Immelman is massive! This is going to be an awesome coaster. Guess 2015 will be a good year.
 
We ended up really pressed for time with me needing to be back at work and Legend being down contributing to Raven and Voyage's queues (still rode them, though) and we ran out of time to go back there but I nabbed a few pictures as we drove away, only one of which came out decent.

The loop is up!

Because we were driving away this was the only one that was even remotely presentable. :( But I did see that the loop is up as is the track segment that goes over Voyage. I never rode it without it but I would honestly have preferred it to dip through an underground tunnel, having a giant B&M go over your terrain wooden coaster really takes away from it, even though you could do everything humanly possible to take away from Voyage and it would still be awesome because it's Voyage. ;)
 
I can't see it posted anywhere on the last two pages (but then I didn't look hard enough), but this is scheduled to open on 25th April.

I'm not a fan of the brown supports. They look fine from a distance, but up close they just look...odd :? I don't think they mix very well with the orange track.

It looks like it'll have some nice near-misses going through the woods, although I wonder if they'll have to cut back some of the trees before it opens.
 
Re: Holiday World | Thunderbird | Launched B&M Wing Coaster

This looks great! I can't wait to give it a go one day!
