bgwfreak Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 When they said Dolly and the park would be investing $30MM over the next 3 years I didn't expect it all in the following year! I wonder what they will do for 25!?!
coasterdude5 Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 I bet they'll get the mine rollercoaster next year!
Gargoyle360 Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I Live in Atlanta, and have been to Dollywood 4 times. Timber Tower looks pretty cool, and I think it will make a good addition to the park.
socalMAN123 Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 ^Way to bring back a topic! Actually, I don't think these rides look to bad! But, if they could make it more intense, it would probably be a lot better! ---Brent 8)
Damien666 Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Ok, it may not be a insane thrill ride. But Elissa's right, it's a great addition to the park! It's a nice family thrill ride.
Blazen_AZN Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 yeah, the ride looks cool, get rid of the bigshot on the stratasphere and put on of these at the top, and it would be awsome!!! they should make a combo, lauch up, fall over, freefall on that thing... ^^that would be the scariest. ride. ever.
CoasterCrazy Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I will be going to Dollywood next season, I have wanted to ride topple tower ever since I saw the photos from the Euro Update.
Jonathan Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) In short, Pigeon Forge has approved Dollywood's proposal to begin construction on a 121 foot tall coaster for 2007. The ride will be announced officially in July, and ground should be broken in April. Edited December 8, 2011 by larrygator
DerekRx Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 That's awesome news. Looks like a trip to Dollywood will be in order for 2007. If the result is anything like that rendition, it'll be a really cool looking ride!
TheGreatOne Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Hello Eurofighter???? -Bryan "This sounds fantastic" Wood
ECZenith Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Sweet, gonna have to check that out next year. Ya think it's a Gerstlauer?
nemesis-storm Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 It's a very high possibility that it's going to be a Eurofighter
CoasterFanatic Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Eurofighter is pretty much a definate. Question is ... will it be a custom?
M_Force_4_ever Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 that sounds pretty sweet, hope I can make it to Dollywood in '07
jarmor Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Eurofighter is pretty much a definate. Question is ... will it be a custom? With dollywood's topiary im almost certian its gonna be custom! Its not a flat section in that dang park!
BarryH Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 This is pretty cool! I remember Dollywood e-mailed me a survey asking about all sorts of funky ride designs. I think this was one of them. I think I even voted on it! It was themed around a mine, if I recall correctly. They had a Disk-O dark ride concept that looked pretty cool. Hey, 2008 is on the horizon, right? EDIT: A Dollywood employee asked me for my e-mail when I walked into the park during my last visit. He said it was only for surveys and no junk mail. Well, he kept his word. I've gotten nothing but surveys and no ads for Viagara and young women doing unmentionable things. So if someone at Dollywood asks you for your e-mail, be proud and give it!
TwistedTrack Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Woop! It's approved! Dollywood has gone from a park thats kind of "blah" to a very high class park.
coasterdude5 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Sweet! We're going in 2007 anyway so this will be awesome. Dollywood rocks.
Movieguy Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Dollywood has come a Looooooong way from the park I remember in the mid-90's. I first saw the park mentioned on an old E! Special called "Theme Parks a Go-Go" (Which I still have on tape somewhere.), and I was fairly underwhelemed by what I saw. Their big addition for the year was some new 1950's themed section of the park...whoop-ee-ding!...and when she talked about the rides, she gave the only amusing line of the segment... Dolly: "I often tell people, we don't have Space Mountain, but we have Twin Peaks..." *Pushes her boobs out a little.* But when I looked at Dollywood again for the first time in ages recently, my jaw dropped...this is NOT the Dollywood I remember, with those awesome coasters...and now that they're adding a vertical drop coaster, I can see that Dolly has finally wised up on how to really compete in the park business. Good going Dolly!
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Dwood does things right! Expect this ride to be awesome!
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 ^If the rumors are true what I've heard. We won't see much growing on this ride as it will be mostly indoors and underground. I so loved my trip to Dollywood this Christmas. If this ride holds up to the high standard that this park is known for, then it is gonna be a goodie!
jamesdillaman Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 This only cements in my mind that dollywood is awsome. Everyone around here still thinks that it's a stupid bluegrass-music filled shrine to dolly parton. Hopefully as they add more rides people won't pass on it while visiting pigeon forge and gatlinburg. They'll make it a point to go there. On an unrelated note, my first trip to dollywood was simply great. I rode Thunderhead 35 there!) After buying a thunderhead t-shirt, the entire thunderhead ride crew all signed it for me, and on my way out I just mentioned to somebody that it was the most fun I've ever had at any theme park, which I'd been to a few, btw. They took down my address, and I completely forgot about it. About a month later I opened my mailbox to find a hand-written letter from the park operations team thanking me for my visit and my kind comments, along with a free dollywood windbreaker. This park is incredible!
