Well this is an interesting development, I do remember hearing rumblings of a launched steel coaster at Holiday World, but never thought we'd be treated to a Bolliger and Mabillard Launched Wing-Rider.  A very "out-of-left-field" kind of announcement.  The ride looks fun, and fairly compact for a wing-rider.  Personally, I haven't ridden one yet, but the general consensus is they seem fairly tame on the G-Force front.  At any rate, watch the video's below to decide for yourselves.
