shesaidboom Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 Must visit Dollywood next year. Mystery Mine looks awesome and the themeing makes it even better. I can't wait to see what it's like
Golfie Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 New Ride For Dollywood Dolly parton is putting some more big curves into her Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Tennessee's top tourist draw will add a $17.5 million steel roller coaster called "Mystery Mine" in 2007, the country singer and actress announced Friday. It's the biggest single capital investment in the park's 21-year history. The coaster, with the theme of an abandoned coal mine, will take riders on a 2 1/2 minute trip featuring a weightless inversion known as a "heartline roll," a double inversion known as a "rollover loop" and a kind of half-loop climp, turn and plunge perfected by combat pilots in World War I. Source: Journal Sentinal Perfected by combat pilots in WWI, eh? SWEET!
coasterdude5 Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 This, Silver Dollar City, and BGE's new coaster will definitely ease the pain of moving to the back ass woods of Tennesee next year. Oh, then there's allways the inbreeding and anal rape. Guy "Squeal like a pig fatboy! Weeeeeeeeee! Weeeeeeeee!" Koepp What town? Tennessee's not all that bad!
Guy T. Koepp Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Don't actually know yet. Don't even know if it's 100% official that we'll be moving. More like 90%. Likely the Nashville area though. Oh, as you are only 14, that last sentence was, "Then theres allways the good friendships and pats on the back."
TheStig Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 ^Me and Guy have a good friendship! Colin"Oh yeah, ride looks cool, whatever"C
cannonballer Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 OMG Canada is involved in this!!! Yet I think it is still gonna be good!

Hey tennesse has less of that than indianna and their not even southern!
coasterdude5 Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Yeah, I was wonderin that too, I think the heartline roll has 2 inversions.
okinawaboy11 Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 RCDB Say's 4 but only has 3 inversions named. So I guess the Heartline roll would be 2 in a row.
Astat Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 RCDB just made a mistake on one of the inversions. It's counting the "Roll Over" as 2 inversions, because that's also the name of the double inversion on Pinfari Corkscrews. It's actually more like a "Twist and Dive" (think Manhattan Express), so there's 3 inversions.
cannonballer Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I wouldnt care if theres 1 or 50, its still gonna rocK!
WildMouse Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Exactly. This is certainly going to be my most anticipated 'steel' coaster next year. That and the X No Way Out re-theme
haydawg149 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I will hopefully be heading East next summer, and will definately check out this baby!! I hope it's SMOOTH!!! and filled with hang time!
jackskellington101 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I hope that the actual coaster and theming is as pretty as the pictures when all is said and done. If so, Dollywood's gonna have a sure fire winner on their hands. This one’s definitely on my watch list.
ECZenith Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Theming is going to be a HUGE part of the ride experience given the budget and relatively "do-able" cost of the eurofighter itself compared to larger steel coasters like B&Ms and Intamins. It looks like it will be story-intensive, so I would expect it to be as nice as the video showed.
robbalvey Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Hey everyone! Thanks to Electerik submitting some recent construction photos I have started an "official" TPR Dollywood 2007 update page: http://www.themeparkreview.com/dollywood2007/dollywood2007.htm Just like we did the Tatsu construction updates, we'll continue to post new pics as they come in. Thanks for the update Erik! --Robb
Electerik Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 ^ Hey, no problem! Some of the photos turned out a little darker than I thought. For what it's worth, the crate on the cart (next to "the green container") actually says "Danger" and "Mystery Mine" on it. So either they've already got some theming in place, or they're just winking at us shutterbugs.
odene497 Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 If this ride looks anything like it's pictures, It gonna be amazing, especially on a dark and stormy night
DollyRules Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 According to this article, Mystery Mine will be the tallest building ever constructed at Dollywood. Also, the talking bird is being moved into the new attraction. Believe it or not, Dollywood is already starting to plan for their 2008 expansion. This park is growing at a huge pace. I really can not wait to see what happens in the coming years! Click to read the article here. http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?BRD=1211&dept_id=169689&newsid=16897671&PAG=461&rfi=9
jarmor Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 While the ride will reach a top speed of 46 mph - relatively tame compared to the neighboring Thunderhead, which reaches 70 mph - it will have plenty of thrills, Gerstlauer Elektro representative Anthony Esparza said
coasterdude5 Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 I guess Thunderhead has picked up some speed over the years!
dr.gumbo Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 That proberbly should be in km Thats my theory any way Unless we all have been living under a rock for a few years
coasterdude5 Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 ^I think the animation on the front page is the animation.
