    One other thing about a wing coaster is that the ride can be drastically different based on which side you're on.

    I think “The Vulture” could be cool. My only change is make it inverted!

    When thinking about it being a Wing Coaster I couldn't help wonder that that track looks like Pipeline: The Surf Coaster's at SeaWorld Orlando. Could we see a Surf Coaster? Highly doubt it however.

    It should've been a B&M Sit-down LSM Launch Coaster similar to Jimna's except it's B&M's own design, but don't get at me wrong i like the Wing Coasters but I prefer them to get a B&M Sit-down LSM Launch Coaster, but maybe they will convert it into a B&M Sit-down LSM Launch Coaster if B&M puts them up in stock.

      Yeah I get what you’re saying but I don’t think that’s likely considering they’re prob going with the bird theme for jungle Xpedition so it’s more fitting for a wing coaster

      @@thethinghopppe410 Or an Avian Humanoid because I don't know if there any mythical birds that have green feathers except kukulkan. But no offense there are bird-themed coasters that aren't wing. So it doesn't matter sometimes. If you don't know what an avian humanoid is It's a humanoid bird like a Garuda or a Montu. But it would be better if they themed that area to Adventure Port or an Ancient Spain themed area like Adventure Port to match with its sister park Kings Island. They should also remove that bobsled to make room for an Vekoma Adventure Express clone.

      They physically can't change it. The track design is the same but you can't just change it. The wing coaster is launched by "Linear Synchronous Motors" B&M doesn't manufacture their sit down model anymore and they have never been popular compared to their other models. The track size is also different to other B&M models. Take a B&M dive coaster for example, the track is wider but of the same box design to support the wider train. The wing coaster design and each element of the coaster was designed for the wing trains. The clearance for these trains is very different so the whole design of the ride would have to change because the banking of each element is specifically designed for those trains. Plus the speed is going to be very different, the forces would be different and this could lead to serious rider injuries. Oh and before anyone says "B&M have switched trains before like the floorless conversions" that was done because those trains are almost identical, riders are still sat in the same position and the elevation was practically the same. Wing coasters need much more width to get through elements because of the design of the trains.

      That non compete clause was just a rumor spread by enthusiasts otherwise the park never would have installed dominator regardless of it being a relocation rather than a new from the ground up installation.
      It's simply not in B&Ms best interests to issue such a clause and I even asked about it when at BGW a few years ago and was told that no such contract exists or ever existed to begin with.
      The only exclusive contract bgw had was for the dive coaster model but that contract expired years ago.

      I think he pretty much indicated that the clause didn’t necessarily ever exist.

      We were live for an hour as the track arrived and was unloaded. Also it was 4 days ago, not over a week ago
