JonnyRCT3 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 That launch seems to be in there for the sake of having a launch has it doesn't really do much.
DILinator Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 It looks like it'll be such an amazing coaster! It's pretty much what I was expecting, once I accepted that they might not have inversions on it. It certainly doesn't need any, with everything else it has going for it! SO excited for my family vacation next year, which will include a day and a half at Dollywood (first timers!) Well done, Dollywood, and well done RMC! Here is the official video they showed in the announcement!
RollerManic Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) ^^^^^That link is buried and I can't find the live stream as I closed out of it after the animation. I'm glad he posted that again - hes not making an announcement. I like that it launches into a pre-drop. That should make for some great sustained airtime down the 2nd drop. Honestly, this is my ONLY disappointment of the ride. A sharp crest and immediate drop would give an uninterrupted 45-73 mph acceleration. Think Maverick, but without slowing down a little. And I stand corrected - there are black painted rails! YES! Edited August 7, 2015 by RollerManic

mike541x Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I haven't been to Dollywood yet, but that's definitely going to change next year. This ride looks amazing!
Mrlittle Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 That quadruple down might end up being the greatest few moments on a coaster.
chickenbowl Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 The intensity of Outlaw Run + the amount of airtime of New Texas Giant = BEST WOODEN COASTER OF ALL TIME!!!
RollerManic Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Did anybody notice that there's a triple up leading to the quadruple down!? Or that the non-inverting turn leads directly to the brake run?
coasterbill Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I'd say something like "This is amazing! We're absolutely going to be making the 12 hour drive out to Dollywood next year" but let's be serious... we were already going to be making the 12 hour drive out to Dollywood next year, and this year, and every other year because it's already amazing. As far as the ride though, I mean holy living crap. What more could anyone ever want in a coaster? Ridiculous airtime, check. Great setting... check. Launch... check. Great use of terrain... check. Never before seen elements... check. What seems to be a pretty long ride... check. A ridiculously smooth but still really intense ride... check. Cinnamon bread once you get off the ride... check. Wow! And good luck to every other park, have fun trying to follow this announcement. Edited August 7, 2015 by coasterbill
Jodon Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Call me crazy but nothing about this element screams "loop" to me...inverting or non inverting. Non-inverting loop??? To me, a non-inverting loop is what's on Premier's Sky Rocket coasters...Regardless, this ride looks amazing! Edited August 7, 2015 by Jodon
Marcio Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Dear Lord, this is gonna be an airtime machine!!! Planning a new visit to the US next year, I'm sure going to visit Dollywood!
hey...hey Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 This looks like an airtime machine and a great addition to Dollywood. As for the "no inversions", probably for a lower height limit, which would mesh with Dollywood family concept.
jedimaster1227 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Skillets, cinnamon bread and now this... Seems like I need to put a Dollywood trip on the books for 2016!
HWLover Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 This looks like Outlaw Run and Voyage had a baby and I am so excited. Both of those coasters top my wooden rankings and with the airtime, the speed, the intensity, and the beauty lightning rod may finally dethrone them! Good choice Dollywood!
Coaster Hero Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I feel that it does just enough to justify not having any inversions. The layout is crazy to begin with, and it doesn't really need to invert.

[attachment=0]noninverted loop.jpg[/attachment] To me, a non-inverting loop is what's on Premier's Sky Rocket coasters...Regardless, this ride looks amazing! Not going to call you crazy, just going to call you nit picky. Why does it matter what the park calls an element?
Coaster Hero Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I'm just sitting here waiting for the full animated pov to come out. I wanna see how the elements flow together!
cfc Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I feel that it does just enough to justify not having any inversions. The layout is crazy to begin with, and it doesn't really need to invert. I'll take airtime over inversions any day.
