Six Flags Great America |"X-Flight"| B&M Wing Coaster
- Thread starter B&MintaminGCI
- Start date
If you look at the photo I posted March 2nd (on page 8), you can see that there was still a good bit of track work to be done so there's no way that this was completed a couple of weeks ago.Coasterfreck said:It's a brilliant picture, but I could of swarm this was completed a couple of weeks ago!East Coast(er) General said:Track is complete!

^So where's this straight track what you can see then?
And also is there reaslly any need for the Inline twist to be that long, Hangtime heaven/hell. Depends If you like hangtime.

The inline is rather long, but it all seems like a really straight coaster if you know what I mean.
The Swarm and raptor are quiet tight but this seems really spread out.
It's hard to explain but I assume it will be 3 trains to have a station and brake run that length.

One small bit of the brake run, and the turn between the brake run & station.... wouldn't exactly call much tbh.
And I agree that this does have a better layout than Swarm. It just looks and feels like more of a complete coaster than Swarm. Swarm is too 'thin' and is wasted with the ridiculous brake runS.

What's great about this coaster is that wasn't designed with marketing in mind or any records such as "Europe's tallest winged coaster", they've just made an absoloutely excellent layout which I'm sure will be insane fun.
I actually believe that this in - line twist will be much better than Swarm's or Raptor's, Swarm's seems pretty similar to Raptor's which is all over quickly.
On this you'll have time to go "Whoooooa" as you "float" through the inversion. Yes, I'm sure you know what I mean!

Not sure if the layout will be better than swarms or not, it's really different apart from the 1st drop.
On inverts I tend to prefer the tighter layouts to the more spread out ones so it will be interesting to see how people rate this that have done both.
I think they offer different things, with this if it does not hold its speed to could turn out to be a let down.
I like the tight corners on swarm these are very different.

Is the drop different then? I looked at the picture above and assumed it was the same just could not see the part that flips the train. But something has to flip the train after all the seats don't rotate.
When your on the trains going round corners it feels like your floating I just liked that.
As said before its very much different to the others so will be interesting to see views.
Am not saying its better or worse btw.

Yeah, and something about the direction of twist makes it seem that X-Flight's is more drawn out (although it's probably just a trick of the eye).

Alot of new photos from theme park review that show all the good angles and twists and flips of this thing.
Out of all the wing riders, this one has gotten me the most excited. I mean it just looks freakin awesome.

It's been a few days since I checked so I'm not sure how long it's been completed, but the station roof is up.
Only a month to go before I'll be riding that baby!
There's also about a dozen new photos on RCDB.

And this isn't exactly new (obviously), bit it's the best photo of the complete layout that I've seen so far.
Guess where it was posted.

This surly must have one of the worlds longest inline twists. Im still shocked by how long it really is. ( not the ride, the inline twist)
