7 vs. Wild Panama: That’s why the relay almost failed shortly before the start
in the Behind the scenes to the second season 7 vs Wild we have often seen the team push its limits. The start of the season in Panama had to overcome many hurdles. The problem that the latest episode deals with actually has the project almost fail. What happened?
Cancelled: Everything stands and falls with the drop-off
“Orga-Code-Red” it was said for Max and Johannes. The helicopter company called and informed them that the drop off cannot take place as planned. Apart from the fact that it was clear beforehand what the claims were and they were assured that it could take place like this, the came Cancellation 15 hours before suspension. The whole project was on the brink.
Originally, the participants with the Helicopters from Panama City to the island flown and deployed as shown. It should flown with open doors to be able to film better. However, this changes the aerodynamics of the helicopter and it consumes significantly more fuel. So they can not four hours stay in the air, but only 90 minutes.
7 vs. Wild: New Plan, New Cost
A new plan is needed or the relay has already failed before the start. The alternative would be that Helicopter including reserve canister fly to the island before the candidates. There the doors are removed. Before flying back to Panama City, the helicopters can do it again fill up.
“We continued to discuss, negotiate prices, negotiate situations, what was whose fault. […] But we have now come to an agreement.”
In addition to the three helicopters, hired three planes will. Two for transportation and one tanker plane for the helicopters. The team is brought to the island with the transport aircraft in order to change to the helicopters there. The whole has the costs inflated.
