Wildfire Review, Kolmarden Zoo RMC Topper Track Coaster | Best Wood Coaster in Europe 

A lot of coasters run better on hot days.

@@CanobieCoaster It dosent need to be a sunny day, late in the afternoon its nuts! The quetime just makes it that much better! Last summer when i was there i could ride it 10times in a row in the morning without getting off. The longet que all day was around 5min! Rode it 20times in total and i think 15 the time before that!

Thanks! I much prefer Untamed to Wildfire.

Sure is.

Enjoy!

How was it?

Have fun!

Thanks!

I prefer Lightning Rod and Outlaw Run to Wildfire, but this one is still great and has an epic drop.

Personally i think the prefabs feels just as different from other woodies. They feel more like intamin megas to me

@@VillasByrneRMC toppers and Intamin prefabs aren’t considered “traditional” wooden coasters for a reason.

I’ve heard some people say it’s Tonnerre Deux Zeus, some others say it’s Colossus and some others say Wodan. I’ve only experienced Tonnerre Deux Zeus in the last two rows and it seems like a front row ride on pov’s, backwards is wild, but second last row it’s really, really bumpy and the airtime felt quite underwhelming there. Colossus starts out perfectly but has that dreadful pace killing Helix and the giant statue that you travel through is clearly built up from a bunch of containers which I wish they had hidden better. I’ve currently not experienced Wodan yet but I will in the next few months, hella excited, as my current favorite woodie is Troy.

Having experienced T2Z recently, I think its not that good. It’s waaaaay too bumpy now and gets pretty slow by the end of the layout. I can’t compare to anything tho since its the only woodie I’ve ridden, but i think its not that great.

@@Sauci55on agreed, the pacing after the tunnel ain’t the best and the old parts of the track, including the first drop literally has you bouncing up and down into the restraint. I definitely recommend checking out other woodies as many of them are better.

I love that coaster.

Yes, it's amazing.

Coast Rider's shin guards dig into your shins and hurt. Wildfire's restraints are more comfortable and the ride is way better.

I have not been there.

Helix

Oh no…. I think I know what your talking about…

@@SunshineStateCoasters What?

@@gianfeliciano9816 I’m going to assume that they are getting the “refurbished” Orlando FreeFall.

That would give fantastic views and be a much needed thrill ride to compliment Wildfire.

Zadra is better (more intense and better pacing).

This and ArieForce are two of the easiest RMCs to marathon.

I believe CS has ridden this on a warmer day and at night. I imagine the ride is better in those 2 conditions.

I prefer Lightning Rod too.

See this review.

The ironic thing is, wooden coaster feels like wooden coaster because they use steel wheel on top of steel strip. Hence it rides pretty bumpy, but ultra low on friction Topper track use plastic-lining wheel like steel coaster. Hence why it's pretty smooth. But you know what other woodies that also use plastic-lining wheel? El Toro. And it ride very similarly to topper, but nobody cares nowadays

I count them as wood, but I get the argument why some do not.

Sorry, I am not.

I'm just glad the ride exists.

New. I previously reviewed Silver Dollar City's Wildfire, but not this one.

I definitely wish Goliath had some more elements.

Pacing issues.

Zone with dedicated restriction

They had to get the land approved for use for a roller coaster.

I count it as wood, but it's darn close to steel.

fair enough!@@CanobieCoaster

I count them as wood, but I get the argument.

The topper track coaster have 8 layers of wood and one of steel. Just like all modern wood coasters. The only difference is topper tracks have a thicker piece of steel on the top which makes for more intense elements to be possible.

It's such a weird location for an elite ride.
