Dollywood |"Wild Eagle"| B&M Wing Coaster

[Mark]

I remember commenting on Swarm's wheels looking ugly because they were yellow and someone jumped down my throat saying it was done on purpose.

How you can read that someone has jumped down your throat from a forum is bizarre... But yeah, I remember the conversation and it was merely suggested that the yellow wheels COULD be for the same reason that Adventure Island paint lots of things yellow: Yellow is a very good colour for showing up cracks that could appear as apose to black or whatever.

I do hope they intend on covering up more of the train 'chasis' on this. Those eagles look kinda plonked on there and I'm not sure it works. They are nice eagles and all, I just think it looks a bit plastic? at the moment.

^ Yeah, i agree.

Despite the 'plastic' look of those eagles, i actually like them.
But after reading several posts complaining about the trains look, i'm convinced that this is a matter of taste.

Some very artistic shots from Dollywood's facebook page:

...And some "lift hill porn" for those who like lift hills.

Beautiful! And testing...?

March 24 can't come any sooner. <3

Can't wait to ride this opening weekend!

 

[Jarrett]

So when should this thing start testing? I would think sometime really soon...

This ThemeParkReview video shows the trains in the station and the general layout...

Look nice, but I prefer the trains on The Swarm and Raptor tbh :/

 

[Martyn B]

Sorry, but them trains are AWFUL.

What were people expecting on a ride themed to eagles, other than an eagle?

It's so American, urgh <//3

TPR for spiting me for no reason <//3

Yes Robb, NO reason if you read this.

 

[Martyn B]

^ You banned from their forum? :lol:

 

[tomahawk]

Aren't we all?

Amurica <3

I actually love the trains, so ridiculous, yet so amazing.

 

[Snoo]

It's in Tennessee guys.. what more can you expect?

 

[tomahawk]

A confederate flag attached to the back of the train like a cape, that's what we COULD expect with Tennessee.

 

[michaellll]

Love the colors.

Hate the tackiness.

What I can't believe is that quite a people over at tpr absolutely loved these trains. I. Don't. Understand.

 

[Ben]

^Robb must like them, and if people disagree, they will be banned.

Or if people do fack all, they'll be banned and yelled at and people will be told to delete them off Facebook <//3

Looooooool, that sounds hilarious, I'm taking he threw a hissy fit at you?



Yes I know we can't talk about those strange folks over there but every time I see the place mentioned it's always involving a hilarious hissy fit.

 

[bob_3_]

He throws hissy fits at everyone.

On topic: I don't really like those trains either, the exposed part of the train just looks a bit turd. The eagle on top is cool but overall is just looks too bland.

 

[furie]

Enough with the bitching about TPR now please? Keep the moaning to private channels, whatever happens there has no place on CF.

 

[SaiyanHajime]

The trains are pretty terribly ugly. I think the problem is the eagle is... too small? It would have worked better with one eagle at the front and each car behind being just stylistic. There's too much of the bare train on show and the eagle looks plonked on like a dashboard head-bobber.

 

[Robbie]

Those trains look terrible - should be an Eagle head at front, then feather effects all the way back.
