Wildfire is one of four B&M sit-down coasters, and is located at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. Wildfire has a top speed of 66 miles per hour with a first drop of 155 feet. The trains are slightly different to the other three B&M sit-downs, in the sense that the floors of each car are further apart from the seats, making the ride almost floorless, at least for shorter riders. The ride lasts 2 mins 16 seconds, and features 5 inversions: Immelmann loop, loop, cobra roll and a corkscrew.
[edit] Rider Experience
The train leaves the station, takes a 180 degree right turn, and climbs up the chain lift hill 120 feet up. At the top, the train turns 90 degrees to the left. It's first drop of 155 feet is immediately followed by an immelmann loop. Riders then go through a vertical loop, after which they turn left slightly before they go through a cobra roll inversion. To finish off, the train goes through a corkscrew and a 230 degree turn into the final brakes.
