Also does anyone happen to have any pictures of the demolition of Disaster Transport?

Demolition doesn't start until August 6.

The dude that mentioned that this could be a feathered creature, maybe they'll name it The Wild Duck, or Seagulls revenge....lol.

According to the picture, it's about two, maybe three inches.

So in other words? if I were to hold my arms out to the side I would lose them?

CP skipped the clerance checker on that part ;). Seems to be a big design flaw on intamins part.

Either that or they didn't take into account how long Tony's arms are. :-)

This is kind of random, but I've been curious.

Is Furius Baco at PortAventura not considered a wing coaster because the seats are supported at the bottom instead of from the top?

It is considered a wing coaster. It is just made by Intamin and not B&M.

^yep. although it mwas the first wingride coaster, CF should consider installing one at Dorney or WOF.

Yes.

Or perhaps you'd just get a little....Ping!

Our Wingrider better be good. We could use a good B&M, I don't like Mantis or Raptor, but I love all the Intamins.

Overall I prefer Intamins over B&Ms due to the thrill and intensity that many B&M's can't compare to. I do like Raptor, but Mantis is horrible, and the worst coaster at the park IMO (I'd rather see it removed before Mean Streak). But I'm looking forward to the new wingrider. As long as its layout and elements aren't similar to Raptor I think it will be great.

sorry if I missed it in the 121 pages.. but when was it confirmed this would be a B&M?

Furious Baco has the same vibrational issues that have been experienced on X and the Giant Inverted Boomerangs. I would not be excited if an Intamin Wing Rider was on it's way.

^^It was known to be a B&M ever since the Sandusky Register leaked the info.

So in other words, it hasn't. Been confirmed, that is.

Remember the last time the Register leaked a ride manufacturer and it turned out to be someone else?

Imagine the rage if it turns out to be Intamin instead of B&M... ;)

7 days, 18 hours, 50 minutes, and 5 seconds!

...and that happened when? I hope you aren't talking about WindSeeker.

It was all but confirmed that it was B&M when pictures of a box surfaced showing the WI-F code which is what B&M uses for their wing riders
