Wing Coasters

[dudecoasterman]

Both SFGAm and Dollywood announced new B&M Wingriders that both could be "America's First Wing Coaster" which do you think will be first? or do you think that X2 at SFMM was first?

X2 was the first Arrow Dynamics 4th dimensional coaster.

To get technical X2 is a 4th dimension coaster kind of the same but not really. Dollywood is first IMO.

It's all semantics. If X-2 is a wing coaster, then isn't Griffon in certain seats? Roller coasters can be classified in so many ways, and these two new coasters have decided to highlight the physical layout of the train. Either way, I think they will prove to be revolutionary in the sense that they will probably not bankrupt their manufacturers, and that they'll probably prove to be consistant, fun, thrilling coasters that can easily be duplicated across chains and personalized by setting and interactive elements.

Ahem! Six Flags Great America has been VERY careful to say their new ride is/was North America's first ANNOUNCED B & M Wing Rider. It was. It is. They never made the claim the original poster here did. They knew Dollywood's new ride was about to be announced and would

almost certainly open first. Pigeon Forge is a lot milder climate-wise than Gurnee.

Not to mention, what does this have to do with KI and KI Polls?

Im just pointing this out, im not trying to start anything but there are several other topics in this section that have nothing to do with KI. I also re-worded the post.
