Wildfire, Wooden roller coaster at Kolmården Wildlife Park, Sweden
Wildfire is a wooden roller coaster at Kolmården Wildlife Park in Sweden, featuring a track length of 1,265 meters and a height of 57 meters. The installation runs through forested terrain and includes three inversions during the ride.
Rocky Mountain Construction built the coaster in 2016 as the company's first installation in Europe. The opening introduced a new type of wooden coaster to the continent and changed standards for such constructions.
The design combines American engineering methods with Scandinavian forest scenery, creating an experience between nature and thrill. Riders travel through treetop sections with views over the surrounding Kolmården landscape.
Riders must be at least 120 centimeters tall to board. The installation can carry up to 960 people per hour during full operation and uses two trains with 24 seats each.
The ride offers twelve moments of weightlessness and reaches speeds of 115 kilometers per hour (71 miles per hour). These figures make it the fastest wooden roller coaster in Europe.
