Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

^ But it doesn't look 210ft that way either...
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

I think it is because it is perched on a hill. From the top of the lift, to where the rest of Dollywood there is a distance of 210ft. I'll draw a diagram if nobody gets what im saying.
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

^ No we know that, we are saying it doesn't look 210ft, not that it isn't 210ft. I know that the lift is that height, and the drop is only about 135ft...
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

^ Think of it without the hill its placed on, then it looks 210ft.
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

135 feet is still a pretty good drop for a wing rider! You're probably going to get some really great airtime in the back row.

It certainly does look huge and menacing though, whether or not you look at the hills and terrain in the surrounding area.

It looks like sex and I want to make babies with it. But to reiterate what others have said, they need to replant some trees, make it more secluded. Yes please.

Buddy of mine was there this weekend and says that the pictures were shot to make it stand out. When actually in the park, it doesn not overwhelm the skyline. The ride can pretty much only be seen in the new path / area between Thunderhead Gap and Tenesee Tornado.

The video isn't the best, but it says there will be another video update shortly.

On their it says: ''In a very short time I am going to bring you yet another update where I am going in deep. Wild Eagle’s giant loop will be finished in the very near future, and I will be there to capture it on film for you''

So obviously we know what there constructing next :)

Woah. That drop looks really good. What is the angle of descent compared to Raptor's?
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

^I have absoloutely no idea, I guess the same though. All I know is these stats from rcdb:

Length: 3127'
Height:210'
Drop: 135'
Inversions: 4
Speed: 61 mph
Duration: 2:22
Elements: Loop
Zero-G Roll
Immelmann
Corkscrew

And who said it doesn't look like 210 ft????
Looks fine to me...
 
Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012

That drop reminds me so much of Tatsu, ground drops below you as you get to the top, sadly you won't be looking face down up the lift, but that looks **** beautiful, and yeah, I want.

I really think this will be one of the best if not the best loop in existence.
