Is it the angle, or does the twist seem to have more of a downward slope?

Grab a protractor and measure them, then.

Do you happen to have 2 exactly side on images which would allow him to do this?
Otherwise you could... you know... try and answer his question. Novel idea i know.

Anyway it looks like it might. But its tough to tell with the difference in angles. Stealths does look shallower on first glance..

Stealth is pretty vertical, The Swarm on the other hand.....

He gave a snarky response to someone (BMAC) trying to help. Why would I want to help at that point? If it's that important to him, he could do the research and measure himself.

After a decade plus on forums, it gets old when people ask questions, then snipe when people reply in a manner inconsistent with their opinion, particularly when it's a question that they could answer for themselves.

Fefa, that is a great gallery of pics, thanks for sharing. Although, in several of those pictures, that doesn't look like the twist is any more downhill than Swarm or the others.

I think that drop looks pretty ugly tbh. Much prefer Swarm's.

Do you ever post anything worth while? I'm starting to doubt.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

^ maybe it's the angle then that makes it seem somehow "rounder".
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

^ Well X-Flight's and Gatekeeper's drops are definitely a lot less sharp or defined than Swarm's. Maybe they want to reduce uncomfortable hang time, but I swear that's the entire point of the drop?

Ah I'm not sure.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

^I know right, the hangtime on Swarms drop is what makes it fun!
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

This looks fantastic.

Willing to bet this is the best Wing Rider out there once it opens.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

I wish they'd demolish the log-flume station. It looks so awkward there.
Except for that, Wow! <3
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

I will gladly live in a box to have that in my backyard.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

The reason the drop doesn't look like 'Swarms' is because Swarm rolls the opposite way the drop goes.

It rolls to the left, but drops to the right of the lift.

This rolls to the left, also drops to the left of the lift, so instead of fully inverting before dropping, this starts the drop, while inverting.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

^ That's not why though.

X-Flight twists the same way it drops, but that drop is still more defined like Swarm's. This starts dropping immediately as soon as you hit the turn. The Swarm does not.
 
Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster

Wow I just imagine running over this airtime hill towards the shop and diving just underneath it! That must be awesome!
