November 16, 201311 yr comment_172061 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.
November 16, 201311 yr comment_172066 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.
November 17, 201311 yr comment_172100 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!
November 17, 201311 yr comment_172102 Shame there's so much awful (the 2 Vekomas) dominating the pics...
November 22, 201311 yr comment_172301 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...
November 22, 201311 yr comment_172307 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.
November 22, 201311 yr comment_172315 But why aren't the back rows backwards? ;( Because they don't want to mess up a (probably) great ride like Thorpe did.
November 22, 201311 yr comment_172317 But why aren't the back rows backwards? ;( Because they can add backwards rows on a year or two later for an added gimmick!
November 22, 201311 yr comment_172330 Considering they did a Krake live action maze in 2011, one would not actually be surprised...
December 3, 201311 yr comment_172728 So, we have some pictures of the competition winners: Saucey - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151784925521629.1073741840.120907856628&type=1
December 4, 201311 yr comment_172821 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
December 11, 201311 yr comment_173145 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 )
December 11, 201311 yr comment_173147 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 :/

January 8, 201411 yr comment_174548 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.
January 12, 201411 yr comment_174921 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
January 13, 201411 yr comment_174949 Testing video ahoy! Looks good, and if the music playing is the ride's theme? Offfft...
January 14, 201411 yr comment_174998 1:41 - dem clicks What actually causes those btw? All looks very nice!

January 30, 201411 yr comment_175727 So there will be a partially indoor queue... There's also a short video about one of the near-misses...
