Re: "Unknown" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

^It's not Six Flags so yes, if there is theming, it won't end up being cardboard.

There is a new clue, don't know how to get he image but it is beginning of the drop, and it looks like a near miss inversion/possibly loop that you go into mid drop or something. Still looks epic.

Raptor set the bar, Thorpe got the best themed so far, SFGAm got the first announced Wingrider, and Dollys will just plain up set a max to the ride being built.

Switching between the hideouts'...

This looks so exiting! I dunno if I can wait another 9 hours!

Yay... it will be half past three in the morning here when the announcement is made. That means I won't be able to check it until some time in the evening.

Which isn't half bad, considering I didn't see Skyrush until two weeks after it was announced.

Yay! Just went on the website and it's an eagle theme! Looks like this coaster should be awesome. Fingers crossed...

Ian was informed of what it would be months ago and didn't spill....time to tar and feather him.


I'm ready for the announcement, I got my piece of rabbit fur, a box of tissues (ok 3) some candles, a lighter, and a smooth R&B cd. Little more than 5 hours.

(Just to avoid the 'da ****' responses a bit, this is taken from grandmas boy and I ran with it)

OMFG! Wild Eagle is freaking HUGE! Unfortunately, gotta link to TPR as Dollywood had some MAJOR tech difficulties.

This looks great! I like the layout for X-Flight a little better.
