Shavethewhales Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I like the full CAD shot towards the end of the video. For some reason, it make the ride look a lot bigger than the concept art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doublestufforeo Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Not to big a fan of the eagle on every row, it'd be nice on maybe just the front then keep the rest normal, I'll have to wait and see what it looks like on the track, either way this ride is going to be awesome!

A.J. Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Honestly, I don't care about this ride not being heavily themed - the greenery that will eventually grow around the ride will provide an atmosphere like no other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I absolutely LOVE the way the lift hill uses the terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper39 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I absolutely LOVE the way the lift hill uses the terrain. Me too, it reminds me a lot of the lift hill on Superman at SFOG where you start off face down looking right at some stairs going up that hill then by the time you clear the hill you are already 20 or so feet off the ground. Eagle probably won't have the same effect visually as Superman but it looks similar. Honestly, I don't care about this ride not being heavily themed - the greenery that will eventually grow around the ride will provide an atmosphere like no other. I couldn't agree more. Dollywood still might have something really cool up there sleeves that has not been released yet but after seeing the potential for some amazing rider interactions with the themeing on Raptor and the concept art for Swarm and X-Flight, I'll be a little disappointed if some of those aspects aren't incorporated into the ride. After the trees grow in it should create some cool atmosphere for the ride but I doubt they can grow a tree like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 ^Well don't get your hopes up, because they've confirmed that there won't be extra scenery placed around the ride, outside of the entrance area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I absolutely LOVE the way the lift hill uses the terrain. Agreed 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSiRockin Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Those are some SEXY lookin' trains. Sooo excited for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammmmmy Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I'm so glad they didn't over-do it with the trains. I don't like raptors trains...I mean they look cool but they look so overly themed. In that video when they do the little drawing of it over the picture it got me SO MUCH MORE PUMPED. LOOK HOW OMINOUS IT LOOKS! (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I absolutely love the effort and time they're putting into these videos. It really makes it much more "personal" for us fans, more-so than simply a blog entry now and then. And, it might just be the angle of the pictures, but holy crap that lift hill is steep.

DougMJr Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I think that this will be the best wing-rider out of the bunch! I love the way it is supposed to interact with the hill and natural scenery. And a vertical loop in a wing rider should be interesting. Also, Dollywood did a phenomenal job with this video. It had a little something for everyone. A nice overview for us geeks, while keeping it simple for the GP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invertalon Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 This ride will look simply amazing when complete. I wish Dollywood was not so far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I love how it goes up the hillside, but seeing this huge B&M coaster in the Dollywood skyline is definitely going to take some getting used to... Atleast it will be a great coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shavethewhales Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I noticed in a blown up picture of the CAD layout that the station bears a lot of similarity to Wildfire's. It's huge,looks to be wooden, has a big sloped roof, appears to include several buildings, and there appears to be random water tower. I'm betting a gift shop will be included in the station that exiting riders have to go through, along with an indoor queue that might wrap around the gift shop on the second floor like at Wildfire. You can see the pic I was looking at here: http://www.newsplusnotes.blogspot.com/2011/10/new-wild-eagle-images-details.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin_Eagle Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Man I am truly pumped for this coaster! next year will be my first visit to Dollywood, and was already looking forward to it. but now it's going to be even better with this new coaster!
