That park in Russia is actually part of the Olympic Village for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. They're building a small amusement park there as part of the event. Pretty cool, huh?

Does anyone know if dollywoods season passes work for other HFE parks? Like SDC?

 

You can get tickets at a 50% discount for SDC, White Water and Stone Mountain Park.

Thanks, thats what I was hoping next year will be my first SDC trip!

Outlaw is my most anticipated coaster for 2013.

Absolutely. This may be my most anticipated coaster ever, and is the reason I've been lurking on your forum every day for about the last month.

Do you know if that is reciprocated? We live in the Ozarks, and are SDC season pass holders. We've never been to Dollywood, but that wing coaster looks pretty awesome.

[Bobby2889]

^^ if you have a chance to go to dollywood, go it's worth the admission price by all means. All the coasters are awesome.

^ SDC has continued to impress me over all these years, since my dad first took me when I was about 5, and the only roller coaster was Fire in the Hole. We rode that and American Plunge (the highest drop in the park at the time) over and over. With the one exception of BuzzSaw Falls, I have loved all of their rides, and I've no doubt the ones at Dollywood will match the quality I've come to expect.

[grrt]

Hasn't every coaster ever built been complained about by someone from just seeing the construction photos? Such as Intimidator, Skyrush, and I haven't been around enough to remember more. Rides which ended up amazing anyways? Unless there's some guy punching you in the face with the exact amount of g forces this ride is gonna have, you shouldn't judge it so harshly! I mean... it's got freaking barrel rolls!

 

Even though I'll never likely ride this mammoth, I look forward to seeing more of its construction and am really glad RMC is taking the reigns here!

[texcoaster]

really glad RMC is taking the reigns here!

 

I'm thinking you meant "reins," but the unintentional connotation of "reigns" might actually hold true in the long run!

 

If this project delivers as promised (adding to the success of Giant last year and most likely Rattler next year), RMC might just be the "go-to" company for new coaster projects in the same way B&M was in the 90s. Everybody will want one! RMC will rule!

 

Hmmmm.... RMC has three basic products: Iron Horse makeover, Topper Track makeover, and Topper Track original.

We've seen the Iron Horse, we're seeing the Topper original. If Rattler gets a Topper makeover, that would provide them a proven portfolio of badass rides to prove their worth.

^A little more competition is always a good thing. It's good to see other companies stepping up (for example, RMC, Zierer, and Mack) to challenge B&M, Intamin, and Vekoma.

[dragonskeep]

^ So true. Very good for us .

Yes, it is. If you have a season pass at SDC, you can get a general admission ticket to Dollywood at the same discount.

Excellent. That'd be pretty affordable, then.

The new clue.

[coasterfreak101]

If they're talking about the immediate foreground, they might be hinting at the overbank (either the reverse one or the other one that leads into the second valley).

[ernierocker]

I think that is just the view from the lift hill looking towards Powder Keg.

[televisedconfession]

What's that thing at the bottom of the drop. To me, it almost looks like someone photoshoped in...

Whoops, I didn't scroll down!

If you are talking about the thing in the yellow circle it looks like part of a support for the ride in the picture.

That's what I gathered.

[-Edge of Beast-]

This thing gets shockingly close to Powder Keg and seems to overlook Table Rock, so in my guess, it isn't photoshopped. Btw, that view of Table Rock itself - what a beauty!

Looks like a little orange frog. The poisonous frog coaster! Maybe in Japan, I guess...

[Shavethewhales]

It's just a photo from the top guys, there's nothing hidden in it.

 

The new sdctripplanning.com looks pretty sweet though.

[ernierocker]

^No need to roll your eyes. Only one person thought there was something hidden but he hadn't looked at the whole picture. I mean it does say "clue" so can you blame him?

 

And I agree that the view from the lift hill is amazing!

I blame Hersheypark.
