Im guessing it's from the filming of the testing of the ride as you can clearly see the train testing in the first image.
 
This looks beautiful, is a great fit for the park, and with some luck could have a wee bit of airtime! I gotta get back to Dollywood.
 
Dollywood reports that testing is right on schedule. Media day is just a couple of weeks away. :--D

Double post, but I thought you all might like to see the POV I filmed today:

Love all the sound effects on that ride. Looks like great fun! What did you you think of it ECG? :)
 
That looks seriously awesome! I love that so many parks have started to invest heavily in family coasters the recent years.

Might as well add the off-ride:

It's a lot better than I was expecting with some nice pops of airtime. Definitely one of the best family coasters out there.
 
I love Dollywood, that being said I have the worst timing when it comes to trips and their new rides. Then again I would have never guessed another large investment so close to Wild Eagle.
 
What an awesome little coaster that is! Love the firework section and effects with the backwards launch.

Really impressed with this, exactly the type of coaster a park like Chessington could do with.

Bravo Dollywood, fantastic family coaster.
 
Looks great! I really like the little touches of details they did, like the sparks coming out of the back of Big Bertha and the siren on the lift. Looks like the much-needed "old folks roller coaster" my friend's dad asked me about last time we were there, I can't wait to go back with them this summer and ride this! :D
 
It looks like train stacking is an issue with this coaster. Was it much of a problem when you visited ECG?

I was there the day before media day and there were only a few of us filming along with a couple dozen kids and their parents, so there were no issues. However I could certainly see that the queue for this will be quite a long wait once the park opens to the public on Saturday. It flows pretty good as long as there's no issues, but with a very technical coaster like this any malfunctions will definitely cause major delays.
