RMC: So how big is the park in question? Are you near any major cities like Stockholm, Malmö, or Gothenburg? Kolmården: No RMC: Are you near a major airport? Kolmården: No RMC: Are you guys a major park? Kolmården: No RMC: Are you sure that you want this? Kolmården: DUH!!!
Lol. They are one of the largest if not the largest zoos in the Nordics. And while it does sit right outside the Cityy of Norrköping, I would also think something this big was just... crazy. Then again Sweden has a tendency to go big or go home. Even then there's a local train station in the village close to the park with 200km/h trains several times a day direct to Downtown Stockholm.
Wildfire is excellent! Best coaster in Sweden! I’ve been riding it several times. Kolmården is Sweden’s largest zoo. You need to spend at least one whole day to experience the whole area. It only has a few rides but the zoo part is amazing! There is even a cable car that takes about 30 minutes that passes over some impressive areas with lots of animals.
I was surprised to see such a well known ride as the topic of one of your videos but in the end I had no idea about the issues they had securing a license for the coaster. Another great video!
IFFFF you saw how WIDE eyed I was + mouth as a perfect letter "O" while watching this video ++ how my heart sAnK when you said SBNO , then allowed to operate. All of this is near as great of a roLLer cOaStEr ride as the actual ONE! I can't wait for YOU to ride it!!!!! Michael T.
I've been on 5 RMC's so far. Ranked in order: 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Twisted Colossus (post-Lightning Rod ibox track) 3. Lightning Rod (was #2 when it had the topper track) 4. Twisted Timbers 5. Twisted Cyclone Seriously can't wait to add 5 more to the list. Best manufacturer by far. Thank God for Alan Schilke 🙏
To be able to just go there....ride all the rides, then hop on a plane and fly back home without having to pay for a flight or for the hotel rooms....Such a great looking coaster. Everytime I ever see it in thumbnails, I get so jealous. Richard
It's another brilliant RMC design, but I'm torn as to whether to classify this as a wooden coaster, a steel coaster or a hybrid. It does have wood laminate, but that's underneath RMC's topper track, which IMO makes the ride more of a steel coaster. A true wood coaster has a simple thin steel strip on top of the wood laminate, and that definitely gives a different ride experience compared to the unyielding (and incredibly smooth) topper track.
Wildfire isnt really unknown by Europe enthusiasts tho. we only have 3 RMCs over here (Untamed, Zadra and Wildfire) and Wildfire stands high up in the European top list in my eyes :D and with untamed its also the only RMC i did so far. But it is indeed amazing like the whole Swedentour we did. given that the ride stands up in a zoo for familys, you have 0-10 minute wait through the entire day so its basically paradise for an enthusiast :DD
Rode this just a few weeks ago. What an awesome ride! It does seem out of place in that park tho. We visited on a very busy day, the place was packed with families and children, yet hardly anyone was riding the coaster. Longest I waited in line was ten minutes. The queue for the cable car ride was well over an hour tho. Apart from this one big coaster there really much to back it up ride wise. The zoo part was great tho.
If California ever gets over its love for medical Fascist tyranny, a trip to LA to ride Twisted Colossus is *so* worth it. The original Colossus had moments go greatness interspersed with sheer boredom. In contrast, Twisted Colossus is a big whallop from start to finish, especially when you go up the hill with a train next to you. A great ride!
Looks hella fun! 👍 Wonder what the environmental issues would have to be to suspend the operating licence _after_ it was built instead of just stopping it being constructed... noise issues perhaps?
He didn't open on time.. because I was in the park on the initial opening date (18 june 2016) and it don't open (I got video proof in form of documentary)
Going into the specifics its actually a topper track ride, which technically is a fully wooden design. Its just fallen out of favour as the Hybrid Ibox track is more durable and less maintenance intensive. The only topper track rides to have been built are this, Outlaw run, Lightning rod, and Goliath at Six Flags Great America. All newer ground up coasters like Arieforce One, and Zadra use the Hybrid Ibox track

You know, i live in Sweden and this is my favorite coaster overall. Wildfire is probably one of the best wooden coasters ever.

I've only ridden one RMC and loved it. Iron Gwazi

I've only ever been on 2 RMC's: Storm Chaser and Steel Vengeance, and I easily prefer Steel Vengeance.
Whoh that thumbnail is a crazy image...I cannot wait for this one!💯🔥

Dang that looks pretty wicked with that stall right after the drop. Great review video.
Thank you my friend!
@@NationalCoasters Your welcome for sure buddy.
I would think a wooden coaster might be vulnerable to the extreme elements in Sweden. But I am definitely rooting for it.
i've been dying to ride wildfire for years now, that turn around before the first drop is so sweet.
Ahhhh “Rocky” history indeed
You need to emote a little more. The lack of facial expressions gives me the heebie jeebies 😅
I guess you could call this my home park! Lucky me
I have never been on an rmc😭
I remember watching Coaster Studios’ parody on this coaster. When I go to Sweden, remind me to check this coaster out!
Wildfire is my nuber one roller coaster although i have only been to Swedish amusement parks
I think it's weird that this ride leads off with a helix.
When i visited kolmården i rode it 15 times. Its definitely my favorite coaster
Thank goodness it got the approval
Great layout..
I've only ridden Twisted Timbers at Kings Dominion!

Looks hella fun! 👍 Wonder what the environmental issues would have to be to suspend the operating licence _after_ it was built instead of just stopping it being constructed... noise issues perhaps?
SteVe and it’s not even close
I was supposed to ride this in 2019 but we all know what happened in 2019 😵 Not sure when I'll get to go... sigh
He didn't open on time.. because I was in the park on the initial opening date (18 june 2016) and it don't open (I got video proof in form of documentary)
To be fair, isn't every RMC's history a bit of a...... Rocky one?
Wow! A coaster train is actually gonna stay locked into that track? It looks more like a coaster that collapsed!
It’s literally Wildfire
I’ve ridden 0
pov: you live in sweden and have been there like 10 times
2nd
Great researching. It sucks how environmentalist impose after the fact. Excellent video.
@john That was my thought as well. I wonder why they wouldn't do an impact study before it was built?
Thank you!
BRUH
lad thats a hybrid not a woody

Can’t believe people think that RMC coasters are considered woodies.
