HELP

Vild-Svinet (Danish for Wild Boar) is a steel roller coaster located at BonBon-Land in Holme-Olstrup, Sjælland, Denmark. Opened on 16 May 2003, it was the first Euro-Fighter model from Gerstlauer and the first roller coaster to have a "beyond-vertical" drop, at 97 degrees.

Design

The ride is painted red with yellow supports. Shortly after its opening, the highest points of track were painted sky blue, presumably to blend in with the surroundings.

Elements

Trains

4 cars. Riders are arranged 4 across in 2 rows, for a total of 8 riders per car.
