Wild Eagle - Dollywood

Nah, it has been finished for months; there just hasn't been an update here.

I've only devoted my keeping up with construction progress to RCDB's pictures haha.

Close!

Sweet Jesus that's right before the Zero-g roll. The incline into that is so steep, I love how the Wingriders do that.

^^that's interesting to see how they "tunnel test" ;) didn't know that. What a great looking ride! The lift and drop over the hill look majestic.

This thing looks like the best Wing-Rider of the three. As said before I would have liked to see some sort of typical wing rider drop but hey watcha gonna do? The floorless style layout and the awesome terrain/scenery will make one heeluva ride! What a beautiful thing to complement the Tennesse Tornado which is still king of DollyWood. ;)

First test run

Woahh

I think I just wet myself.

I bet the airtime in the back seat during the first drop is amazing.

Well, looks like I already got my trip planned for this summer! Canada's Wonderland, Dollywood, and Hersey. Looking forward to them all, though I haven't been to Canada's Wonderland before.

There's four of them, and two of them have straight drops and two of them have roll-and-dive drops, so there is no typical wing rider drop.

I think those helices at the end with the airhills looks like an aweeeesome finale.

That looks absolutely fantastic. I don't know if I've just gotten used to their pacing or what, but this looks like it paces a lot faster than the Swarm @ TP. Anyone else notice that?
Also, the only thing I wish this ride had is a flat barrel roll. That seems like it's just going to be such a cool element with these trains. But overall looks like a really really great ride - the loop I think will provide a cool effect.

^about that clearance test picture: I actually thought someone had just photoshopped in a few lines to draw where they thought the car would be. I didn't even think that it was a real clearance test...kinda weird.

Oh wait there's a fourth one....(unedjumucated face)

That??????????????????s LOUD~

Raptor @ Gardaland.

Thank You.

I don't think the pacing is much better than Swarm. To me, the further part of the ride looks a bit slow over the hills. I agree about the barrel roll; after the zero g roll, the ride looks dull and boring.

^Seriously? This ride is going to be amazing with that corkscrew and loop...

Eh it looks slow.

I agree. The final helix section looks really slow and dull. But I guess we'll have to wait and see if it's any good.

B&M usually do look really slow, but they don't fell that way when you ride them.

You're a bunch of boobs.

I think he is a stud muffin instead of a bunch of boobs
