Schotcher Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Doesn't really look a loop to me, too lopsided, and only has one side of supports on the top (Usually there are supports in the middle, Hmmm, it looks like if it's an Immelmann or a diver, the part before/after the half loop is inverted for too long. Hmmmm...also to me it kind of looks like it doesn't flip over for a while...but then again this is just concept art. But look how similar the supports are. Probably just me though. Edited September 4, 2011 by Schotcher
Zeppelinfreak Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 ^^Looks more like an Immelman to me. Or a Dive Loop. Edit: Somebody beat me to it. Second Edit: Hey that was my 200th post, yay.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I might be stupid saying this, But; Does that Track Look B&M It Looks more Premier Rides to Me IMO Compare that Track Photo with this Photo http://rcdb.com/3511.htm?p=19956 Granted, It opened in 98 but still.

Primier really only makes LSM/LIM coasters.
Wes Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 ^^ I'm sure all the B&M track physically sitting at Dollywood right now will be disappointed to find out it's a Premier.
jedimaster1227 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Primier really only makes LSM/LIM coasters. Not so true. Vonkaputous at Linnanmaki Soak'd at Freestyle Music Park Round About at Freestyle Music Park Bandit at Movie Park Germany Runaway Mountain at Six Flags over Texas. While Premier is most commonly known for their launch coasters, they have done plenty of projects (coasters and otherwise) that have not involved powered launches.
Schotcher Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 What I meant to say is "Really only known for"
crazywolf88 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 So far dollywood's most expensive project is mystery mine at $17,500,000. If this project would beat that price tag by a landslide, it will have to be either huge or impressive in another way.
B&MIntaminGCI Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Vertical Construction started on Dollywood 2012. Image from ThrillNetwork This already looks massive compared to the other wing riders.
IanKgtr Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 ^ That's either an inversion or a really steep bank. The connector on the support closer to us is flat, while the connector on the taller support behind it is at a 90 degree angle. My guess is that we're seeing the second half of a zero-g roll.
Intarider Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Definately looks like a Zero-G, but a huge one compared to Raptor!
DarkStitch626 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Judging tree height, I would have to say the tallest support is atleast 50-85ft tall. This thing looks massive!
dragonskeep Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 A coaster going up in the woods is always a pretty sight. That surely does look like a good sized Zero-G.
Intimidator305 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 New Final Clue on Dollywood2012.com - A bald eagle flying with blue track in the lower right hand corner... Wild Eagle?
RollerCoasterSmi Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Got my alarm set for the announcement for 3.30 am here in beautiful England. I really love Raptor, I really love B&M and I am a sucker for inversions. I'm really excited, and I am expecting to see a dramatic increase in the excitement for this coaster on the poll!
StuckinNorCal Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 What time is the official announcement?
Gerstlauer1 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I'm really excited for this announcement, and even thourgh i live in Denmark this is really a big thing for me. I have set the alarm for 3:30 AM, so while the house is sleeping i'm gonna watch the live announcement of a very beautiful looking roller coaster. I'm also looking forward to see the construction progress of this beauty, from this amazing amusement park! Dollywood, you are awesome! - Kian Kronvang, Denmark.
John Knotts Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) This is going to be epic. Already planning two coaster trips next year. One to Hershey, and the other to Dolly! Edited September 4, 2011 by John Knotts
