Wing Coaster is engineering firm Bolliger & Mabillard’s designation for its winged roller coaster designs.[1] Winged roller coasters are a type of steel roller coaster where pairs of riders sit on either side of a roller coaster track in which nothing is above or below the riders. B&M began development on the first Wing Coaster between 2007 and 2008 leading to the opening of Raptor at Gardaland on 1 April 2011. There were eighteen B&M-designed Wing Coasters either under construction or operating worldwide as of 2024[update], with one more standing but not operating.[2]
