seat gives you a different experience,’ he explains. “I would have to say that the best part of the ride for me is just before the first drop with a spectacular view of the park before plunging over 100ft.” The director of operations recalls that the ride’s construction process was flawlessly executed. “Interestingly enough the only problem we encountered was unseasonably warm weather during construction and the rains that came with it. It made for a mushy mess at times, but work continued and the ride was delivered before its scheduled completion date.” “We have an excellent relationship with B&M,” continues Nelson, “having worked with them on
several rides in the past. We know that they will deliver the ride on time and on schedule and, once open, its operation will be flawless. We are very proud to have been the debut facility for three of B&M’s signature attractions, Batman the Ride, Iron Wolf and Raging Bull.” Because the Wing Coaster is a new coaster variation from B&M, Nelson expects more to appear soon. “Be ready for a smooth ride,” he advises other potential operators, “with lots of opportunity for customisation. This is simply a tremendous ride experience.”
