DoinItForTheFame Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I just wish it was named "Big Boobs and Coasters" instead of Dollywood. The park would be full to capacity every day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollywoodlover20 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I wonder if Dollywood will unveil the new train design at IAAPA in November? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 ^ I would not be surprised. SDC did this, and so did SFMM. The construction of LR already looks beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be suprised if they did unveil the coaster trains at IAAPA. I can't wait to see the trains! No doubt in my mind that they will look amazing!!

Vonni Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'm really excited to see what they have planned for LR trains! Working headlights would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mordecai-75 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 it looks from what i've seen they are using brown topper track. i think it would have been creative to get it in black to resemble fresh pavement, and over time the fading could only get a bit grey. " just like a real road." i don't know, just sounds like it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" just like a real road." i don't know, just sounds like it would work. I think that sounds really awesome! I just don't think it would look as good up against brown supports as what you're thinking. Then for it to look right they would have to paint all of the wooden supports and not only would that get expensive, it would look really weird. I do like the idea of the black track, but I just don;t think it would look as good as what we are imagining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mordecai-75 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 ^ imagine the wood supports as dirt beside the road, " it'll be going quite fast, the wood will blur together while riding." just would be something different i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I always thought a stained wood look would be really cool. That is quite pricey though and would wear out after a few years instead of just leaving it plain old wood. Regardless, this coaster will look great any color honestly.

KingRCT3 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Random fact of the day: Lightning Rod's LSM will be provided by Velocity Magnitics. Source IOE, love these guys. Here's what they say about VM: I had a chance to visit their facility and get an inside view of their engineering; it's MASSIVELY impressive to say the least. I think we can expect some extremely reliable, well-crafted components from VM. They're a company more enthusiasts need to know about, for sure! -Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keetz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 After riding Maverick last weekend, I am really excited to see this coaster utilize a faster LSM for a launch/lift. As soon as the launch/lift on Maverick starts you know you are in for an action packed ride and you get launched over a 95 degree drop. Seeing this applied to a wooden terrain coaster is gonna be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mordecai-75 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 my understanding is that Maverick's lift/launch is much slower than 45mph, right? "just the lift, obviously not the flat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollywoodlover20 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Found somewhere that Mavericks lift hill is around 15-22mph. So we are looking at something going much much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 An easy comparison to make here is the Incredible Hulk coaster. I really hope that 2016 season passes go on sale soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakelemay23 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 We probably won't see this, but a tunnel up the launch-hill would be kick @$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollywoodlover20 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 We probably won't see this, but a tunnel up the launch-hill would be kick @$$. Uhm yea I doubt that haha the theme of this ride (even though we haven't seen the full backstory yet) is riding a hot rod through the foothills of the smokies. Plus zooming through the trees would be a great experience in its self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
