Specific Type: Wing Coaster
|
Every decade engineers and designers begin the push the envelope trying to find new coaster styles. In the 2000s, one of the most unique coaster types that were created was the Winged Coaster engineered by the Bollinger and Mabillard company. The newest creation of Wing Coaster was opened in 2014 at Heide Park in Germany. Flug der Dämonen was added to the park after Wildwasserbahn 2 was completely removed from the park. The general public began wondering what would be added to the area after the coaster was removed. In 2013, the park began teasing guests with ideas and even a website and late in the year the information and design was announced. The name was announced in January of 2014 and Flug der Dämonen was born. The name means Flight of the Demons.
The highly anticipated coaster has a track length of 2,533 feet and has a maximum height of 130 feet at the top of the lift. The coaster contains two open air B&M Wing Coaster trains that have 6 cars with 4 seats each. The trains are painted black and white and the fronts of the trains resemble the head of a demon. The coaster reaches speeds of up to 62 mph and contains multiple elements. Below you will find a written POV of the ride. Hold on to the demon and get ready to experience flight away from the track. Riders inside the station choose between the left and right side of the train. Ride experience can differ depending on where they sit. Once seated in the unique wing coasters seats, you pull down the OTSR that is equipped with a vest for more comfort. After leaving the station, the train makes a small right hand turn toward the lift hill. The train goes up 130 feet and upon reaching the top of the lift hill, the train enters the first element, a Dive Drop. During this drop, the train reaches its maximum speed of 62mph. Next, the train enters a camelback hill where riders experience the feeling of weightlessness. The train then heads down into a head chopping effect of a building and then upon exiting the hill, the train immediately enters an Immelmann loop, followed by a corkscrew. Next there is a left-handed 270-degree downward helix. The next element is a new element called a Demonic Knot; it consists of a combination of an inclined Dive Loop followed by an inclined Immelmann Loop. The train then enters a 315-degree left hand turn leading into the final brake run. |
