Schotcher Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Doesn't really look a loop to me, too lopsided, and only has one side of supports on the top (Usually there are supports in the middle, Hmmm, it looks like if it's an Immelmann or a diver, the part before/after the half loop is inverted for too long. Hmmmm...also to me it kind of looks like it doesn't flip over for a while...but then again this is just concept art. But look how similar the supports are. Probably just me though.

Zeppelinfreak Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 ^^Looks more like an Immelman to me. Or a Dive Loop. Edit: Somebody beat me to it. Second Edit: Hey that was my 200th post, yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I might be stupid saying this, But; Does that Track Look B&M It Looks more Premier Rides to Me IMO Compare that Track Photo with this Photo http://rcdb.com/3511.htm?p=19956 Granted, It opened in 98 but still.

Primier really only makes LSM/LIM coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 ^^ I'm sure all the B&M track physically sitting at Dollywood right now will be disappointed to find out it's a Premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Primier really only makes LSM/LIM coasters. Not so true. Vonkaputous at Linnanmaki Soak'd at Freestyle Music Park Round About at Freestyle Music Park Bandit at Movie Park Germany Runaway Mountain at Six Flags over Texas. While Premier is most commonly known for their launch coasters, they have done plenty of projects (coasters and otherwise) that have not involved powered launches.

crazywolf88 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 So far dollywood's most expensive project is mystery mine at $17,500,000. If this project would beat that price tag by a landslide, it will have to be either huge or impressive in another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MIntaminGCI Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Vertical Construction started on Dollywood 2012. Image from ThrillNetwork This already looks massive compared to the other wing riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanKgtr Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 ^ That's either an inversion or a really steep bank. The connector on the support closer to us is flat, while the connector on the taller support behind it is at a 90 degree angle. My guess is that we're seeing the second half of a zero-g roll.

Intarider Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Definately looks like a Zero-G, but a huge one compared to Raptor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStitch626 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Judging tree height, I would have to say the tallest support is atleast 50-85ft tall. This thing looks massive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonskeep Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 A coaster going up in the woods is always a pretty sight. That surely does look like a good sized Zero-G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerCoasterSmi Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Got my alarm set for the announcement for 3.30 am here in beautiful England. I really love Raptor, I really love B&M and I am a sucker for inversions. I'm really excited, and I am expecting to see a dramatic increase in the excitement for this coaster on the poll!
