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.

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
What are these for?

^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.

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

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.

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.
