Wildfire • Kolmården

First Drop Hangtime Dead spots

For the most part, Wildfire is a breathtaking ride experience. It could stop at the top of the lift hill for 40 minutes before an evacuation and still be an unrivalled experience; the views from atop are easily amongst some of the most picturesque from any roller coaster in the world. The plunge down the cliff side is outrageously run, as is the hang time hill following it. A perfect blend of height mixed with close call terrain rushes give Wildfire its unmistakable identity. Despite this however, not all is perfect. The 3/4 mark on the layout signals the end of its bite, as the train seemingly limps with lack of ambition back to the station giving riders time to collect their breath. In reality, a balls to the wall finish dash to the brake run would have been the icing on the cake for Wildfire.

Airtimes First Drop Hangtime

Wildfire is one of my favourite coasters- the views coming up to the ride are amazing and the ride itself is fast-paced and full of intense ejector airtime. It also helped I think that it felt like we had hired it out for the day- we got both the first ride and the last ride of the day with only the three of us on the train, and managed to get round on it 31 times over the course of the day, including seeing two shows and going round the whole park.

Awesome Coaster.

First Drop Fun Disappointing! Dead spots Intensity

While this ride has an incredible first half, with one of the best drops out there, an insane zero g stall, an extremely whippy 90 degree outward banked turn, and a couple of decent airtime moments, when the ride hit the second inversion however, it tones down a lot, with it lacking strong airtime and intensity, and it just pointlessly meanders around, but it is still a fun ride.

Masterpiece Intensity Smoothness

Go and ride this! The best RMC I have ridden so far, and it already starts with the looks from the outside. The coaster is build INTO the rocks. I absolutely love the first drop, the zero-g stall and all other inversions on this ride. Wonderful transitions from one element to another - and the coaster does not loose steam until it hits the break runs. The only downside of this: If you are no longer the youngest, you have to make a short pause after each ride, because it is exhausting.
