Dollywood | Lightning Rod | Launched RMC

I'm slightly disappointed in the launch lift, a gimmick just to get the record imo, but I have no doubt that it will be a fantastic ride. From the layout they showed it looks excellent, and that quad down looks amazing.
 
Video animation now up on Youtube.

That Quad Down <3
 
It does say 'Stay tuned for more', so could that mean more layout, or other stuff?

^Stats probably.

Hard to be surprised by the launch, it's quite expected.

Mother **** quad down? Yes please.
 
Oh my lord, airtime galore. Those trains look pretty badass with the car theming. Dollywood needs to be added in my 2016 Roadtrip, that's for sure. It's an RMC so it will be great.

So the Quad Down is official!

This looks spectacular. The back row of this coaster is probably going to be heavenly.

Interested in the "non-inverting" loop - I'm wondering if it will just be a very positive-g heavy upward turn? Kind of like Banshee's upward turn into its in-line twist (1:21)

Please don't compare this beauty to that piece of crap.
 
Twist and Shout? Really?

Still looks incredible, though. Can't wait to do this next year. <3
 
So much win.

The first drop is going to be out of this world, as well as the quadruple down. The "half loop" thing actually reminds me more of Black Mamba's junior immelmann.

4 RMC's next year = World Peace. Oh my goodness.

Are we calling Banshee Crap at this point? As far as I knew it was a good ride, but just not what this amazing RMC is going to be.
 
While I'm sure this ride will be amazing to ride it carries on what in my (probably unpopular) opinion is a line of aesthetically awful looking RMC designs. I just don't like the look of their rides. Possibly because they break tradition so often and don't follow the usual flow of more traditional rides. They just aren't pleasing to my eye at all.

But I guess when it comes down to it as long as the ride rides well it doesn't really matter.
