Pictures have been posted on Screamscape of new bright green track at the B&M plant. It's labelled with a part number that begins "WI-" which apparently signifies that this is part of a wingrider. Where's this one off to?

Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

Tell you what, that X-Works company buys a lot of coasters ;)

My bets are on another Six Flags park to be honest. They tend to buy lots of similar types in bulk.
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

Yeah, I think my money would be on Six Flags too. Unless of course the Gerstlauer in Alton's 2013 plans is all a ruse... ;)
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

With that colour scheme it's GOT to be a Six Flags park. And it'll be called Green Lantern Flight of Doom or something equally crap ;]
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

I wouldn't be surprised if this shows up at a Six Flags park under the shape of X-Flight clone...
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

I'm assuming it's a Cedar Fair park...and I am assuming Cedar Point will be getting one in 2014 on a grander scale ala Xcelerator and Top Thrill Dragster.
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

^I'm kinda also thinking it's for Cedar point for some reason, not 2014 though, 2013?.
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

Dunno but it REALLY should have gone to Canada's Wonderland instead of that silly Hyper/Giga thing.

I'll say any of the ex paramount parks (but not CW for obvious reasons). Most of them are lacking a major modern looping coaster, let alone something like this.
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

I actually think Jordan has it bang on, I think it'll be another Green Lantern bollocks ride, more Wingrider's? Can't complaint really.
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

It won't be Green Lantern, Six Flags is looking to tie them in with movies, and next year, we will probably see several "The Flash" rides, as that is the WB movie coming out next year, as well as Superman. Green Lantern 2 doesn't even have a script or release date yet, so, you can count it out. Plus it is a lighter green.

There's no Flash movie next year. Apart from Superman, the big WB films in 2013 are Jack The Giant Killer and The Hobbit.
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

I thought that was a Flash Gordon re-make. How disappointing.
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

I would agree that Jordan got it spot on, but this is most probably at the US plant, and x-works over the transport details would mean its going over international borders. So not in the US.
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

"X works" is standard shipping sort of term for "not being delivered to customer, being collected from the factory" :)

I thought B&M had stopped labelling their track pieces to protect customer's future additions, hence the generic X-Works...
 
Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider?

^ yeah, so the point is; it means nothing.

Screamscape are tweeting for pics of previous shipping labels to try to read something into the codes.

Blimey we are a desperate lot. :(

No official date besides 2013 set.

I would be very surprised if that happens at all, let alone by next year.

I wish <///3

If it's SF it'll defiantly be Green Lantern themed. It sounds exactly like something unoriginal they'd do. What about Heide Park ? Aren't they advertising for something already ?
