Dollywood Discussion Thread

Why are there steel supports with a large gap underneath on that straight away? I don't think that's a transfer, and if i remember correctly, it's not supposed to be a crossover of any kind either...

I'd say it's likely that there's going to be a maintenance / service road back there, and that larger trucks need adequate overhead clearance.

I am already seeing substantial evidence in the structure being built in this photo that there will be enough room for enclosure. Especially, with the wooden supports below the track. Those span well beyond arm's length from the edge of the track.

 

Judging by how the steel beams are smaller than the wood beams below the track along the launch hill, maybe the steel will be supports for the catwalk, and the wooden beams will be supports for the tunnel/enclosure?

I believe there's already a road back there, which is why that "overpass" is needed.

 

As far as crossovers, the track will cross over the bottom of the lift twice at the end of the ride.

I think that is for the "Bridge" because there is a road right directly under that. That's the road the Trolley has been using along with employees.

El Toro has one of those on the RT hill because obviously Rolling Thunder went right under it. So it definitely means that something is going under that one on Lightning Rod, whether it's track or vehicles on a service road

For those in doubt, I can verify this. We took the trolly from Gatlinburg and they definitely use the road under there for access to the park. I actually have a few pictures from that road of the construction site, from before track install.

Holy sheet. Look at that drop

[Dollywoodlover20]

These are the pictures I've been waiting for! The side that won't be visible to public unless ridden. The airtime on that drop is going to be insane. You're going to be out of your seat for a bit going down the actual drop and that alone is intends. You kind of do that on Mystery Mine do to it being beyond vertical. The speed on this coaster will make it white knuckle.

Ohhhhh Myyyyyyyyyy Heeeellllll! This is going to be simply amazing. I can NOT wait for this amazing attraction to open! Dollywood is going to have a real winner on their hands with this!!

[chickenbowl]

Are you kidding me here? That drop is going to be ridiculous. It's just beautiful!

Can you imagine how absurd the airtime is going to be on that second hump?!

[Guy T. Koepp]

Excuse me, I need to change my pants.

[ernierocker]

Outlaw Run's first drop is insane and it has just a small hump after a normal lifthill. We are going to be launched into that?!?!

[CP Maverick]

Not just the hill, but all the way down the other side too.

[PVA62]

Oh my god, wow. I can't wait! This will be my first RMC, and that drop looks like it will be among the best drops in the world.

[BlahBlahson]

The big drop literally looks like we will all die riding this. It doesn't even look safe! That airtime hill is at 30ish mph and then that HUGE drop. OMG

[SFOGdude25]

Holy shiitake mushrooms!!!

To put this into perspective, this drop is roughly the same size as Voyage's first drop (around 160-165 feet if I remember), however instead of creeping over, we'll be launched over! This ride is gonna be NUTS.

[RyanTPM]

That drop just looks way too good!

[Superbatboy]

Looks insane

[Coaster Hero]

Is that thing real? The air on that drop certainly will be unreal.

I see what you did there!

[RollerManic]

Am I the only one who would prefer just one, continuous drop? Imagine how much taller it would be (and possibly we'd have a successful hyper woodie) plus the airtime time would be insane. Think i305 / Moverivk (depending on the shaping) but faster.

Nope, absolutely not. The airtime will be way crazier than if it were a single drop! I am imagining sustained airtime over and all the way down that hill. Think about it, the train is already traveling at 45 mph from the launch. It will be INSANE!

 

Don't be a "what if" guy here. This coaster could be the BEST coaster ANYWHERE, EVER

[mordecai-75]

Nobody seems to question the unfortunate possibility of extreme trim brakes between the archs. I hope that doesn't happen.
