With Six Flags and Dollywood both billing there wing riders to be the 'First in America'. Which one do you think will get the title and be the first to open to the public?

X-Flight because Six Flags probably won't have that much theme and/or open it before themeing is finished like green lantern at great adv. But Dollywoods may open first. It really depends on who they hire to construct the ride.

Dollywood's probably, because Six Flags can be known to take their time in opening it, and most coasters are open in late May or June.

I could be wrong about this, but I haven't seen any track at Six Flags, whereas Dollywood should be able to start building soon.

I see Six Flags rushing production on this just so they can maintain their rep; especially, since SFMM lost their title as park with the most coasters just a few months after being crowned the coaster capital of the world. SF is all about firsts and titles, whereas Dollywood seems to focus more on quality to draw the crowds.

Well Dollywood already started vertical construction so they're already miles ahead.

So this topic is debating whether some disastrous event will stop dollywood's coaster from opening first? Interesting.

Dollywood is very far along with vertical construction...seems like a large bulk of the supports are already up.

The lunar cycles suggest it will be SFGAm.

Lunar cycles are not debatable.
