Here's coming down from the stall from the air

And here's the stall from the air. I guess the middle is missing because they need to add the rail for the track passing beneath it?

Gorgeous! =D>

It's quite unbelievable to think that a couple of years ago Sweden had no substantial coaster, and now we got both Helix and this!! :--D
 
^ Huh? Balder, Twister and also the two Zierer-Schwarzkopfs do seem to be quite substantial. At least way more substantial than a lot of similar sized countries will ever have...
 
Gorgeous? Beauty? :lol: it's a coaster in construction (that looks awful at its present state and literally just parts of a support structure, not even attack :lol: ), not aesthetically pleasing whatsoever. Jesus Christ

Love that they're posting these updates with these construction videoes
 
Some great new shots!

I'm a little bit surprised that they are using unpainted steel beams as opposed to the brown ones on Outlaw Run. The same goes for the one at Dollywood. Perhaps it's a capacity issue at the manufacturing?

You KNOW all parks do it, but you never really see them advertise it like that in a video. Good to see really. Plus.. the ride looks great and all. Can't wait to ride it. :D
 
I mean, does it get better than this?

Kolmarden is showing the pathos behind Wildfire, and why they are wanting to enter the space of large thrill rides with what could very well be the best wooden coaster in the world. I love that they are not only documenting their creative process, but showing that Wildfire isn't just an addition to the park, it is a fundamental shift in the way they will present and manage the park.
 
Yeah I love the way they're handling this. Will it be the best? Eh, we'll see. But I love the passion and thought and consideration.

Really interesting new video, key point is that track will start being installed in the next 30 days and the lift structure will start going up in the next couple of weeks.
 
Here is Friday's video.

Are there many coasters that go over natural rock like this? Premade theming! The setting looks really spectacular.
