Bryce232 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I love his animations, but I don't think Dollywood used his since it didn't have the same visuals that Wild Eagle's video had. If you compare Cheetah Hunt and Wild Eagle's videos to something Keith's done, they will be very different in sound and background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewRnR Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 The video is done by Mindclay Creative out of Tampa. They have also done work with Sea World Parks & Entertainment... including Cheetah Hunt promo. http://mindclay.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 ^I didn't realize that. Now that you say that, it seems like Dollywood is following the same outline mind clay provided for BGT. Thanks for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yea I was going to say... didn't seem much like Keith's aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Based on the animation, it looks like that hill right after the corkscrew could have some good air on it. And the view coming off the top of the lift is going to be unlike anything in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallish Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Come on, I can't have been the only one who immediately recognized every scream sound effect from RCT2. This video looked pretty similar to Badnitrus' stuff, but his videos have MUCH better audio in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikbem Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 i think this the greatest evolution of the wing B&M, i'm not so interest to the other two projects ( x-flight and swarm ) but this is great ! the theme are perfect with the beautiful landscape. i want to come another time in USA ! Wild Eagle the " big brother of Raptor" , heheh the first drop of raptor is steep and the sensation when the train start to ride is amazing ( the best seat is the last ) i feel some air-time W.E will be much better as sensations.

Six Flags Enthuseast Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I can't believe how quickly Wild Eagle was put up! They do indeed seem to be committed to getting it up and running so that it'll be America's 1st Wingrider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chroniq Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Can't every coaster be considered to have "different experiences," based on where you sit on the train? I've decided to start counting every single seat on every train on every coaster as a different credit. I win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 ^Looks like someone beat you to it: www.themeparkreview.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=10970 Hint: Look at his title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Dive Machines are sorta like a wingrider. Does that mean a whole Dive Machine train counts as 30 credits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I count different times of the day/year as different credits. I'm excited for the trains to come and for testing o begin. I'm going to make my first trip to Dollywood next year on the New Hotness trip and this ride/park is one of the most anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Played A.J, Well Played.. Edited to say: That really is an awesome custom title. If you are riding a ride coaster like Big Thunder Mountain that has a bench style seat by yourself, is that an ADDITIONAL credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathbydinn Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 ^ Different coasters go up at different paces. Dollywood starting working earlier, and SFGAm had to clear three rides at once and half the midway. It's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoaster Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Is it related to the Dollywood scavenger hunt they posted on Facebook (and Eric posted on the Dollywood thread)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 No, this something that is being done by Dollywood and has nothing to do with the contest we are currently running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulahoop1 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I can't wait to ride Wild Eagle. I am hopefully going to Dollywood this next summer, I was just wondering when the best time to go is? Like which month would be the best to go to Dollywood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 There really isn't a "bad" time to go to Dollywood. I would avoid Saturdays and Holiday weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 A word to the wise for anyone planning to visit during the Smoky Mountain Christmas event. Driving conditions in Pigeon Forge during the day on weekends between Thanskgiving and Christmas are pure congestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntornadox Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Actually, the main Parkway expansion project from Boyds Creek Highway to downtown Sevierville where one would turn off to go on Dolly Parton Parkway to get to Veterans Boulevard (the back highway to Dollywood) is about to be completed... 4 lanes in each direction. Traffic should be a non-issue in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoaster Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm hoping to make the trek up from Georgia in March or April. Really looking forward to seeing (and riding) this thing in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Oh, fine. Ruin my fun. I'll just make a "wing coasters are two credits" shrine in my back closet, and secretly worship it until the end of time. That sounds like an amazingly awesome creepy thing to do. I approve. Jeff Johnson would be proud to have such a shrine. Actually, I find it kind of creepy too, in an intriguing way. And, for the record - ONE credit.
