KDfans have leaked information related to KD’s Volcano replacement… a B&M launched wing coaster.
Gerslauer or Vekoma making Volcano 2.0 would have been my pick for KD’s Volcano replacement but this looks awesome too. Fills a need for the park’s lineup perfectly.
It does fill a need for the park but I’m disappointed in it as a Volcano replacement. I just don’t think a B&M wing coaster is at all in the spirit of Volcano. There are so many better options for KD to go with (even non-Intamin) like Vekoma, S&S, Chance, etc, that I think have the ability to do something incredibly unique and thrilling. Joe Draves would also be the perfect person to design a Volcano replacements because he is a master at mixing grace and intensity which is something that Volcano did better than any coaster I ever experienced.
This layout does look great and this is probably going to rival Thunderbird (if not become the best wing coaster in the US) but it just doesn’t fill Volcano’s shoes IMHO.
