WildMouse Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 WildMouse, is there any other concept art besides the one small image? Some details would be great as I am planning on hitting DW and BGE in 2007. Not that I know of unfortunatly. No doubt Dollywood want to 'try' and keep things (well, at least the layout) as secret as possible until the big anouncement in the summer.
apollo210 Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 I'm sure its a eurofighter. Gerstular announced at IAAP 2005 that "one of the largest eurofighters is coming to the U.S. in 2007.".
Worm Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 <-Why can't it be something like this? ITS mine themed. And its not themed to look like your going down a mine shaft, you actually going down a REAl one!
mboy81 Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 I was at Dollywood about a month ago, and the neatest thing happened: I was sitting down eating a pulled pork sandwich (mmmmm), and a sweep came up to us. He was probably in his 60's. He asked us how our pulled pork sandwich was, and asked us if we were enjoying our day. I was floored. I also couldn't believe how many employees asked us where we were from. I worked at Cedar Point for three summers, and I was so impressed with the professional attitude of the employees. Safety was of course their number one concern, but they didn't bark at the guests like we were told to at my prior workplace. It really makes the day a complete blast, no matter what kind of rides Dollywood has. Dollywood really is the friendliest park I've ever visited!
Dollywood Pete Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Dollywood is releasing a series of films that will culminate July 7th. This is a film serial that tells the story of Tennessee's Mystery Mine. The serial will be release a segment every Friday during June. Part one of the series on the Tennessee mine mystery went up this morning. It is on googlevideo, ifilm.com, youtube and other places. See www.mysterymine.com for more information. Check it out and let me know what you think. You will be blown away on the 7th when you see the entire package.
jarmor Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 thanks man...and if you work for the park that place is awesome! Don at thunderhead and jan in aunt granny's is one of the reason I keep comming back!
SharkTums Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Nice! So should we mark our calendars for a July 7th announcement???
robbalvey Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Hey Pete! Thanks for posting the info. Please keep us updated as to what's going on around the park. We have a lot of Dollywood fans here! (Elissa and I included) --Robb
jarmor Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 After watching that video I can say this must be some project for the park to go to these lenths...im excited! Im thinking its going to incorporate some scary storyline for the ride. Maybe its gonna be the tower of terror of the mountians lol! Jarvis "is it next friday yet?" Morant
CoasterCrazy Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Watching the video has made me more interested in the announcement. It will be fun watching these short films every week until July 7th! It looks like I will have to visit Dollywood next year!
coasterdude5 Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 This looks awesome, thanks for posting it Dollywood Pete, I never would've seen it!
Jon Sabo Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Wheeeeee, let the fun begin! This appears to be one of the best-quality website/commercials to a pre-ride announcement in recent memory. One of the last classic one's I loved was the one from BGE before BBW opened in 84.
FlippyTrick09 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 this is good... very good I should be going up there for vacation next summer, and me and some of my family are going to go... this is good... very good....
pgathriller Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 From About.com Dolly Parton Likes Putting Her Attractions Out in Front The 2006 theme park season has barely begun, and once again Dollywood is among the first to announce a new ride for the 2007 season. The Smoky Mountain park, part paean to all things Dolly, part country music shrine, and part celebration of Appalachian culture, has been doing its part over the last few years to also become part thrill ride park. Last season, it added a wood coaster, The Thunderhead, to great acclaim. This year, the Tennessee park opened Timber Tower, the first thrill ride of its kind in North America. For the 2007 season, it will launch Mystery Mine. For now, the ride is officially a mystery, but rumor has it that it will be a highly themed coaster with a 120-foot vertical drop into a dark, haunted, animatronic- and special effects-filled mineshaft. Dollywood has created a Mystery Mine site that includes a teaser video, but little else. According to the site, more info will be forthcoming June 9. Teaser Video Link- http://www.dollywood.com/mmine/default.htm Dolywood gets better and better every year putting something amazing in making people come back every year. I haven't been there since the opening of thunderhead but I must take a trip when Mystery Mine opens.
Astat Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Dolly Parton Likes Putting Her Attractions Out in Front I'm wondering if this thing's gonna be a Euro Fighter or what...only other real vertical drop coaster would be a Dive Machine or a Vekoma Tilt Coaster...hmm.
Tomizzle For Rizzle Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 yes. Its a Eurofighter, but with new elements not found on the current models.
jarmor Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 yes. Its a Eurofighter, but with new elements not found on the current models. hummm...what new "elements" might I ask...
ECZenith Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Is it Gerstlauer or Maurer Sohne that has the "drifting" cars available? That would be really cool to simulate a dilapidated mine train. The broken trestle (that's actually the vertical drop" looks awesome in the concept art, and apparently it's the only outdoor section on the ride. Damn, Dollywood... talk about impressive, keep up the excellent work!
coasterbilly Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 very curious here, man dollywood i'm going to you this season!

Astat Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Figured I'd bump this back up since the new video thing went up today...all the other site sections have been updated a bit too with more teasers. www.mysterymine.com
ECZenith Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Aww, I was hoping they'd release an animation or some concept art today, oh well, maybe in a couple weeks.
Guy T. Koepp Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Sweet! The Mystery Continues! I bet those two kids get a hatchett to the head! That would be awesome!
TheStig Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I was waiting for that redneck guy to get up and yell "NO BEND OVER A SQUEEL LIKE A PIG!!!". No THAT would have been funny! Colin C
