Re: Heide Park, Germany
We have track!

Someone over on TheParks has uploaded photos of the track and supports too.
I'm going to be interested to see how the trains will go with this colour scheme. If they are going to be giant bats (probably black in colour as bats typically are at theme parks), having white track green supports might not go so well with darker trains. If the trains are a mixture of pale grey and light brown like many bats are, they might be okay. We'll have to wait and see.

It means Merlin will not have to pay for theming now. As long as it has one piece of something big then it's themed remember!

How is it that we don't know the layout yet? This is a very intriguing project for sure and the track/support colour combo has some charm. It's probably lost though considering the other rides in the area also share that paint job! More bulk paint orders from Merlin isit?

The layout from above:
A selection of construction photos, and more importantly a 3D model of the coaster:
http://www.radiohamburg.de/Nachrichten/Deutschland-und-die-Welt/Norddeutschland-kompakt/2013/August/Neue-Achterbahn-Hier-entsteht-ein-Wing-Coaster/achterbahn01a
This coaster looks superb. Great-near misses, a mixture of elements and, most importantly, it looks as if B&M are breaking the stigma of them making boring rides. That last element- a dive-loop and a zero-G- looks absolutely incredible.

That looks like a very interesting layout, far better than The Swarm's. Still, we shall have to wait and see how it rides. If Gatekeeper, the biggest of these winged coaster so far, is described as bland then I reserve all judgement on them all. Hopefully this one is a bit more forceful.

I've now done three wing coasters, Raptor, Swarm and Gatekeeper. As much as Raptor is well landscaped and has loads of near misses, the other two (for the most part) miss the point.

Absolutely loving the look of the new wing coaster.
If you're interested, here is a little recreation to give you a taste. I must say, the inclined pretzel loop element looks and feels wacky simply in NoLimits, I wonder how it'll ride in real life?
EDIT - Link below thanks to Alastair. It messed up :/
