I agree. It looks really quick and fun. Hopefully, it stays like that before opening.

Make room Taron launch sound and B&M rattle. I think this is my new favourite coaster sound.

Got to ride it Monday. Definately a great family addition to Wildwood Grove.
Can confirm it is as smooth as it looks in the POV. What really impressed me about this coaster is how long the ride time is. Its pretty long for a family coaster. Also, the second half really pops. The focus of the layout is more about the twists and turns vs airtime. Really wasn't much airtime but that could have been because it was early in the morning. Overall a lot of fun.

It looks fab and goes on forever. Surprisingly forceful for a family roller coaster, but it will be a massive hit.
Dollywood can do no wrong it seems!

What makes this sad is that if a UK park built a ride like this they'd just build the first half up until the 3rd launch and be done with it. None of the going the extra mile.
And if they did it would still be one of the best if not the best family coaster in the country

Yeah that actually looks so fun. 1:20 of real ride time, that's impressive. Launches look decently punchy, and that whole last half looks very fun.
Kinda surprised they didn't spray instant-grass on the hillside for the first half, but the presentation of the plaza area looks great. Will look great in a few years.

The pacing looks wild. Also looks to have some great forces, both negative and positive.

This....this is definitely the biggest takeaway.
The ride looks like a whole lot of fun for a family-friendly coaster but it's a damn shame the park tore out allllllllll the trees to put it in. Hopefully in the next off season they'll throw some new trees in around the ride area or at least shrubs and grass. For as beautiful of a park that Dollywood is, this looks somewhat subpar for them.
