First Drop Theming Inversions Dead spots Lap Bar
A beautiful wooden roller coaster engulfed in a wonderful natural environment. The entire ride is very smooth and the first drop is pretty good. The Zero-G-Stall is excellent, especially in the back of the train. I wouldn't have thought there'd be a noticeable difference between the IBox and Topper Track but boy was I wrong. In comparison to Zadra and Untamed, which are both equipped with the IBox track, the train noticeably loses a lot of pace. There is one moment inparticular that stands out and that is the last hill which has no forces whatsoever. It feels like they tried to provide some airtime here, but if that was intended they failed quite drastically. In terms of riding the trains are not as comfortable as on the other European RMCs but unless you get stapled it doesn't disrupt the riding experience. In general it's a very good first attempt at an European RMC and it is worthwhile checking it out.

First Drop Location Duration
Best coaster i’ve ridden so far. It rode even better than it looks, and it looks magnificent. It’s my favorite RMC from the two I’ve ridden, with the other one being untamed at Walibi Holland. Coaster wise I prefer Untamed but I enjoy the overall experience of wildfire more. Also the outerbank is ?

Inversions Masterpiece Intensity
I really enjoy the Zero-G-Stall after the first drop, the banked airtime hill and the first heartline roll. Overall the whole ride is very intense and a lot of fun with lots of elements. I really hate the 2 very well done head-chop effects (after the first drop and through the small hut) ;-) The last 2 rows are recommended in order to have ejector airtime during the first drop. The location in the park with the ride through the rocks and the woods is absolutely stunning.

First Drop Inversions Location Discomfort
The rides first drop was breathtaking, and the zero-g right after was good. The ride was a little rough and made my head hurt a bit, but you forgot it as you exited the ride. And I think the first part was better than the other half but it’s a must go if you are in Sweden. (I went on a 35 ride marathon, my head will not recover)

Airtimes Location Dead spots
great location, super strong first 3 elements - drop, 0g stall and outwardbanked airtime hill. Afterwards Wildfire has storng airtime moments, great inversions. At the end there are some pacing lags, but in my opinion its still a 5 star coaster. To the guys in NA you need to ride Wildfire, its one of the best in the world!

Airtimes Inversions Location
Wildfire is so cool. The Setting really makes it stunning to me! The middle section is a little dull but the Rest is fast paced action with great elements. the 1-2-3 punch is amazing, and the final 0 zero-G roll turns you around like a washing machine. The wait times are very short through the whole day (i waited 2 trains at most) since its a zoo for families and not an amusement Park. Solid #3 in my list, i would ride it anytime if i had the opportunity ^^

First Drop Location Masterpiece
Wow. This ride is incredible from start to finish. The lift hill and following turnaround give great views of the Swedish coast and forest before you plunge down an amazing first drop. The drop gives standing ejector in the back few rows if you’re not stapled. Back row is my preferred seat on this one due to the more intense experience and insane drop. The next element is a zero-g stall that is full of hangtime through its long and elevated portion of track. Next, you whip in and out of an outerbanked wave turn that provides insane sensations of whip, laterals, and airtime at the same time. Following is a twisted airtime hill and a straight speed hill that both give ejector airtime. After this, you fly into a quick wave turn where you experience brief but powerful sideways airtime. Next is a floaty zero-g roll down the cliff that leads into several turns and small airtime hills. The rest of the layout consists of a zero-g roll, small hills, and a few turns before you hit the brakes. This is a pretty long coaster and I didn’t find it to have any dead spots other than the hill before you drop off the rocks into the final twists, which isn’t as much of a dead spot as it is a way to prepare for the rest of the ride. Each one of my fourteen rides was incredible and I would always feel like hopping right back in line. Overall, this is a magnificent coaster and one that I could consistently lap all day.

First Drop Location Layout
A really fantastic coaster and at the time of this review it has my favorite first drop. The first half is incredible, however it loses a lot of its speed after the second inversion. I think I've had my expectations a bit too high for my first RMC. The setting is beautiful and makes the coaster stand out. No doubt a top tier coaster though.

Inversions Location Masterpiece
Wildfire is on its own already an amazing coaster with a great first drop & a fantastic Zero G Stall. But what makes it brilliant is the location. How it is set up in probably one of the best Locations for any coaster worldwide would make it an instant top 3 in Europe. We rode it 26 times during our visit and just loved the experience in the back row. If the trains are not that full you can have a loss of pace but for us that didn’t really matter much.

Wildfire is the type of coaster I wish would happen in America; A huge terrain coaster with a long layout, bringing a regional park into the global spotlight. Kolmarden and RMC knocked it out of the park with this one, creating a masterpiece and putting this park on the bucket list of almost every coaster enthusiast. The location is breathtaking, and shows off some of Sweden's most beautiful landscapes. At ground level you are in a forest with rocky hillsides climbing around you, but then at the top you see the vast forests on peninsulas and scattered islands in the waters of the Southeast Coast. The coaster flies through the wooded hills and natural rock-work that make up Kolmarden, interacting masterfully with the terrain. The first half of the ride is definitely the best, especially the 1-2-3 punch that is the first three elements; The almost vertical 160 ft drop followed by the massive Zero-G stall and then the huge outward banked turn. The layout after the first three elements focuses on twists and turns with a couple barrel rolls thrown in as well. There may not be many airtime moments, but that is not the focus of this ride as a terrain coaster. I would agree the pacing is weak towards the last third, especially around the last hill, but even that doesn't take away from this being a 5 star attraction. This park is a must-do if you're touring Scandinavia, as Wildifire has set a high initial bar for European RMCs.

First Drop Inversions Location
In 2018 i was going for the first time with a group of Dutch Coaster enthiousiasts to Sweden to test Helix, Balder, Wildfire and Jetline. And Wildfire was the best of the trip. It was my first RMC and it was also my longest ERT on a roller coaster with a total of 1 and a half hour on Wildfire. The ride is perfect with a nice detailed station and a first drop on right spot. The zero G Stall is amazing with that floorless feeling. And the whole lay out is the best what i did back then. Number 5 for me on my top 25 coaster list. I did it one time in the rain and thats not fine.

First Drop Location Pace Dead spots
Wildfire has some of the best views in the world. The drop is the most forceful drop I have experienced. The ride has good forces, both positive and negative. The outside wave turn is the most bissare and brilliant airtime moment ever. The pacing in the first half is rock solid. Then it slows down a bit during 2nd inverion and then picks up the pace again. The 3rd inversion is taken at crazy speed. Then the ride completely dies over the last hill, that is the only really dead spot during the ride.

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.

It's not the most intense or aggressive ride by any means, but it's just a fun coaster with a great first drop, amazing inversions and the most beautiful location for a coaster in all of Europe. Such a deride able coaster!

First Drop Inversions Duration Dead spots
Definitely the best Roller coaster in Europe.If I could choose elements instead of inversions I would. The outward bank turn and drop are absolutely amazing And the barrels are super intense and forceful. The dead spot on the right is kind of the end where the twisty section is it loses some pacing

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.

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.
