WildMouse Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Just seen the first two parts of the Mystery Mine story. Exiting stuff indeed! What a cliffhanger! Who needs Lost eh Seriously though, its great that Dollywood are making the extra effort in regards to telling us the story behind the 'Mystery Mine'. Looking forward to seeing the next installment on Friday. edit: Where as before the concept art picture on Screamscape was tiny, the image is now bigger and clearer. Link is here (scroll down to 2007 news). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 They posted a new video. www.mysterymine.com It shows some concept drawings and a little bit of track, but it's hard to determine whether or not that's the actual concept drawing.

chaos Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I think the part in the video with the track might be the track leading to the "broken trestle" or outdoor/vertical drop section. I hope it will turn out like Journey to Atlantis in Florida, only with a longer coaster portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I also hope there's some slow scenes with some good scenery. They have released that the ride will drop into a mine shaft filled with animatroncs and special effects so I'm sure the ride will have lots of coaster elements, can't just drop and stop.

jarmor Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I find it interesting that while reading the very back of the ACE news publicaton for may-june it features a title "The latest pair of gerstlauers make americans whine 'wheres ours?!'". Then it goes on to say..."C'mon, lets get one built over here already...they can still call it a Euro-fighter even if it's in north america." Hummm...

Jumboshrmp Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 If this si a Eurofighter... it would be the first one in america... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Yup, yup. Rumor has it that this will be the first American installation of the Euro Fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Yes it is to be a gerstlauer i was looking up there bobsled coasters and i found this. The videos at http://www.dollywood.com/mmine/default.htm Give me a suspicion that it is not a euro fighter but a bobsled coaster with an elevator lift. I first came across this at http://www.gerstlauer-rides.de While looking for pictures thier bobsled coasters for an NL coaster. I found this and BOOM here we are.

HCOSurfer90 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Also on the Gerstlauer website, if you click on "new-projects" Myster Mine comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 120 feet is really tall for a bobsled ride, and the old cocept art picture that came out before the mystery mine site shows a very steep drop. I still think this will be a eurofighter. yeah 120 is tall for a bobsled coaster but look at it like this...whats the difference between a eurofighter and a bobsled coaster...just the name and what it does lol. And another thing while it may have a 120 ft drop the coaster can only be like 40ft tall. The location of this thing is on a hill so the supports dont have to be 120ft tall!

Vekoma Fan Boy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Well i'm only assuming. and who knows it could be a bobsled coaster or a euro fighter. But i do remember seeing somewhere on coasters and more a pic of a bobsled coaster car shaped lik a mine cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Oh, dont get me wrong, it could very well be labeled as a bobsled coaster and you know what...I was thinking and on this video it's all but confirmed that it would be a bobsled style coaster! But then again dollywood maybe looking at capacity and the euro-fighters have different seating arrangements which leads to mroe capacity and it doesnt have to have inversions to be a euro fighter...man this is getting confusing as much as the cedar point crap lol lol! However your right there is a coaster that has a somewhat mine car look to it see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I am so exited about them getting a new coaster! I go to Dollywood every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomizzle For Rizzle Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 yeah, it is a Eurofighter. But it has elements that are not on any of the other Eurofighters, plus theming. It will be sweet. ps Derek has connections deuce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Thank you very much jarmor. But the key question you should have asked was "Does it have a More-than-vertical drop, oh say around 95 or 97 degrees?" But very useful none-the-less. Thank you! ^And where exactley did you see this animation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Yeah I was gonna ask more questions but that bird seems to have more people around it than the que for thunderhead!
