Wodan Timbur Coaster: General Discussion

[Poisson]

As seen from a 2023 POV

Only on the entry into the final brakes.

Ah, that's not surprising... the wheels screeched a lot on that section when I rode it, so the track clearly experiences a lot of stress there!

Wodan was absolutely flying round the track this week - not a single dead-spot, or any "boring corners" like on Wicker-Man.

 

[Graeme]

I see from Europa Streets Facebook that there’s now a sound barrier on the the first airtime hill.

I think the park should just enclose this into a tunnel. Thoughts?

 

[Poisson]

It doesn't really affect the experience on ride, but off ride it is sad to see

 

[Rowe]

I'm surprised the change didn't come much sooner considering how loud Wodan is. But as much a shame it is, I hope they eventually cut and sand down the ragged edges to make the appearance more uniform.

 

[Skyscraper]

Surely a fully enclosed tunnel like Wicker Man would have been better?

I am sure the ragged appearance is intentional

Having ridden it this last week, the sound barrier doesn't overly affect the experience, but a tunnel would be much more intrusive. A large chunk of the ride would end up essentially 'indoors', which would be a bit over bearing, considering Wodan already has quite a few tunnelled areas.

It pains me to link to Tiktok, but it would appear that more GCI Titan Track is being installed on Wodan:



Hard to tell where this is going, and how much of this there is, but with it looking like a straight piece of track you imagine it could just be for the brake run.

It would also link with the other bits of Titan Track. I assume the stress of it hitting the brakes causes odd things to happen wear wise possibly?

Supposedly the pre-lift section is being Titan tracked

That's even better then. It was riding poorly on that section at Hallowinter.
