Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

^ thats ok I know what you mean. Im just always wanting to know if anything is going on so I just ask lots of questions and chat lots. From now on, if there isnt anything now or ongoing converstation, i will just assume nothing is really going on. Cheerio :)

It's ok. You're Australian.. your accent naturally makes you awesome. :D

Feel free to discuss the ride tho.. as I do find it.. depending on what we can see from the layout.. to be by far the best wing rider out there.
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

^ Haha thank you!
I will make sure im talking about things that are relevant in the future :)
I think the best thing about this ride is that the layout will be more in and out of the trees than anyones expecting. Or at least what im expecting.

It's going to look great climbing up that hillside!

I can't wait to see this completed. :D
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

A question about the ride, does anyone know if there will be the lights down the first drop and around part of the loop like it shows in the promotional photos?
That would be really really awesome to see that. Is it even possible to have lights on the track like that?

I love that cute little support! It would make a nice table stand for my dorm.
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

Cute? I didn't know being in the UP makes you soft. :p
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

I think that it is kinda like a support for a support. Now sure though. That would be my guess.

Yeah, I'm sure that's how it's designed and built. They must forget little things like that all the time.

According to Dollywoods Facebook page, they are releasing the first installment of Under the Wing at 4pm EST today on Dollywood2012.com.

In their post, they also made mention of following something via their facebook and twitter page, as he has a "secret to reveal" that hasn't been said yet.

The last part of the post was a confirmation that over the next few months, the POVs and accompanying videos will be released.

^ Let me guess that it would be an In-Line twist on that straight section before the brake runs?
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

^ I hope so. Thats kind of a signature element for the wing riders it seems. Who knows, but hopefully it will be something interesting.

Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

I think it would need it IMO. These coasters look good when they play off of the foot/head choppers, so without them, the gimmick wouldn't have that much appeal.
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

^ It is a signature move for these type of rides, but the fact that you will be flying through trees and seemingly coming close to the ground will give you the same effect as going through a keyhole would. When I get home I'll copy over what the status on facebook has.

Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

Well, being close to the ground on one of these isn't really going to differ much from being close to the ground on an Invert.
