The green Bolliger and Mallibard track that was being discussed in this
Is now heading to Ocean Kingdom, China as a part of their 3 coasters opening next year, it will open allong side a Mack Supper Splash, and a wooden coaster.

Isn't that wooden meant to be the tallest and fastest wooden in the world? (when it's built, of course)

Anyway, China were bound to get a Wingrider at some point and this has just confirmed that.

Does it really matter?

I have no idea what the plans for the Wing coaster but the Wooden does look really good.

Wingrider has been known as the classification of Intamin Wingriders & B&M Wing Coasters. It's like when B&M built the inverted coaster, all coasters of the same classification are called inverted coasters despite being built by different manufacturers. Usually, whatever model name is the first coaster of the classification, the rest are called that. So, all B&M Wing Coasters are Wingriders.

That's just due to what the park wanted though, Simba. I'm sure Intamin could do a Lift propelled wingrider.

Look at the Intamin Wingrider design:

Now look more carefully on the B&M Wing Coaster design:

The train's seat positions are different, B&M's ones are in-line with the track where as Intamin's ones are above the track.

Let's now get more back on topic and stop debating Wing Coasters and Riders
