Wild Eagle - Dollywood

Looks like the only thing that beats X-Flight is the location.

I think Wild Eagle's layout is also better overall.

The location is an absolute winner with Wild Eagle, but I think the drop on X-Flight will be awesome in the front with some great hang time. The drop on WE will give some great air like Hydra's drop I hope. X-Flight deff. has Eagle beat with the keyhole though. It's a tough call just by looks.

Pov!!!!

i thought it was a little too slow-paced for a B&M... just sayin

That's beautiful. Does anyone know how much of this will be visible from public paths? I think it will be wonderful to watch from off ride. On a side note, it's sort of strange how awkward some of the tracking looks when it's not heart lined. It's like we've become so accustomed to heart lined tracking that un-heartlined track looks...wrong. Just something I noticed. Mostly in the corkscrew.

just like on SWARM: i might be wrong, but i thought i saw an ejector roll as the last inversion. I guess there's no point in heartlining now that the heartline is more than a meter off.

It's slow because the trains have like a 20ft wingspan and that exaggerates the torquing and G's.

This really doesn't look that slow to me. I like it the most out of all the wing riders, ofcourse we only have 3, 2 actually running to go off of, but this one I like the most

^There's four for poop's sake!

And the loop looks really quickly paced, relative to the zero-g and the Immel that is. Corkscrew looks f***ing awesome.

I meant 3 others, oops I forgot the "others" part

Yeah, well you're right either way I should not have even said that haha, X-Flight has barely just broken ground...

It's already pretty much done dumbass. Do you check anything before you write things or is your mouth just a perpetual sphincter?

You're super nice

Awww nah, come on CK, he's right to be fair - it's barely just broken ground.

Yeah CK stop jumping on him, not his fault.

Picture is from over two weeks ago. It has been totally completed trackwise ever since then, deal with it lolz

has anybody else noticed that every single wing coaster has had issues that make it really weirdly paced? Swarm, this, X2, all seem to be a little slower. Is it the weight of the trains or is it because of the shape of the trains that mess with the pacing?

^ It's because of the distance of the riders from the center of rotation it makes it so that all rotational forces are increased and all rotations have to be taken a lot slower.

Off ride shots of the ride

I'm heading down to Dollywood mid July, I'm looking forward to riding Wild Eagle. I'm thinking of writing a full review of the ride after my trip.
