Benin Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Heide Park showing parks how to use social media interaction... Excuse the dodgy translation Germany's first wing coaster - you as a test dummy!Test dummies look kinda getting boring. We want to change that! For the first test drives of the #wingcoaster2014 we need your roller coaster faces. Send us face photos of you, to awaken our Dummies to life! You will find all information to the action and to participate in under www.heide-park.de/ wingcoaster2014/test-dummy.

Mark9 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 We'll send the mental health tweeters Heide Park's way. If there's anything bad they can find with this ride, they'll be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Found these photos on coasterfriends.de Not going to lie, never have I seen a theme park look so photogenic before, even if all the coasters bar krake in these shots are white and olive green!

Benin Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Shame there's so much awful (the 2 Vekomas) dominating the pics... Sheepie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Some more pics off their blog: A near miss under the shop, Merlin are the epitome of originality... Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! The white track looks really weird tbh... Tis 6 rows though, maths clearly not my strong point these days... EC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 My lord this looks so good! The action shots look fantastic, shame this only has 6 rows but I think and hope this is better the swarm because from a visual point it already looks better then Swarm.

Tom Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 But why aren't the back rows backwards? ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 But why aren't the back rows backwards? ;( Because they don't want to mess up a (probably) great ride like Thorpe did. pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 But why aren't the back rows backwards? ;( Because they can add backwards rows on a year or two later for an added gimmick! pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Considering they did a Krake live action maze in 2011, one would not actually be surprised... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 So, we have some pictures of the competition winners: Saucey - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151784925521629.1073741840.120907856628&type=1 EC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I wonder if heide will pull off some blatant PR stunts like the ripped off arms and legs on Swarm. Being Merlin it wouldn't surprise me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Couple more pictures from the minisite - http://www.heide-park.de/wingcoaster2014/baublog/ Dat ruined church-esque feel, ey? Bag drop in the station area. Apparently, you drop your bag in one section, and it then rotates around so it is safe and the next person has a free compartment to use. It then rotates again when you arrive back in the station for you to collect. Seems like a nice idea - hopefully it will work out (and it can then be installed in Swarm's station ) Inferno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 That system is in place on Desert Race so it already works... Krake has the bag drop seen on Swarm and the like, it doesn't work due to bad placement, but guess they learnt a lesson... That station looks a bit like Baco :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mah boi Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 The next thing I am looking forward to is how IMAscore have made the theme tune. They always do things in great ways. However, I do wonder why Heide haven't released at least one testing video of the ride. Too much waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm going in the first week of September how busy would It be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'd guess as busy as alton gets at that time, which would mean it would be quite busy I assume but nothing too major like the Halloween events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
