They're progressing at a really good clip, it seems. I want to make it to Dollywood for this next season, especially with DreamMore.

Yeah, the Voyage has a long layout with moderate elevations to gain speed, while Lightning Rod... an action-packed track with severe elevations to get crazier!

The launch to the top is as cool as the Wild Eagle's lift hill is. They both give us spectacular views! :D

Great use of the terrain, as that hill that the ride is built on makes it seem that you are going higher than you actually are. Props to you Dollywood!

I still think it's going to valley in that little dip right after the launch one day but w/e.

The coaster standing on the cliff edge... also makes me think of a huge Tibetan building along mountainside. :)

And that's what an Rmc family drop looks like.
All hail your great Arrow Dynamics overlords.

I'm pretty sure that RMC designed the ride so if the train barely crested the first hill, it wouldn't valley before the second hill...

The launch and first drop will be the best. After that, looks really good but just short of great. Can't believe I'm going to say this but I'm more excited by Storm Chaser.

Awesome, awesome POV btw....
