Dollywood |"Wild Eagle"| B&M Wing Coaster

[Mit deLuxe]

Are people serious? This beast is not crawling at all, it flies through the layout (except for maybe the zero g) and that first drop along with the vertical loop just looks amazing.

Dollywood |"Wild Eagle"| B&M Wing Coaster

How are the restraints on these things?

This was spoken about in the swam topic.

Some found them fine others found they hurt collar bones until the coaster moved. I found they dug in at 1st but were then ok.

Oh my god....they have the eagle ready to ship. Looks AMAZING! Stats are a 50ft wingspan and 800lbs.

That eagle...is...AWESOMESAUCE!!!! It'll look great sitting outside the entrance of the ride. The only complaint I have is that it looks a bit industrial for a mountain-themed ride. Ah, well, it's still epic.

That looks brilliant!!!!!

The wings already look rusted though.

Really...? :roll:


Looks incredible, can't wait to see it installed at the park!

 

[Thekingin64]

^It's the brown. Kinda looks rusted.

Just noticed how big it is! That is looking brilliant!

 

[Hixee]

^It's an eagle... eagles are generally brown...

 

[Thekingin64]

^I knew that. I was just saying the colour of the brown looks like rust. If it was a bit darker then it would be fine.

It's meant to look like rust though!

Decent.. For my height I found they hugged my body perfectly and didn't hinder the experience or anything.

This thing looks pretty good. I can't say I'm in a huge rush to ride it, but that eagle is phenomenal

It is rust, he made the eagle so the body would rust out and turn brown like the eagle, while the head and stuff would remain stainless so it would have the true "Bald Eagle" feel.

That Eagle is amazing.

WHY IS IT BROWN?! THAT LOOKS HORRIBLE BECAUSE IT'S RUSTY - Yes, I'm being sarcastic!

Thing is, whilst the pacing is slightly slower, which is given considering the trains and such, but I really love the look of this coaster, it's truly stunning.

OK, I really like how open the stations is, it all looks great, the railings are actually stunning too, reminds me of Casper movie for some reason...

The Bald Eagle in particular gets it's name from pibald, as in... Black and white. They are dark brown though.

It's latin name means "white headed sea eagle".

I think the rusty brown with the pure silver doesn't look right myself. Would have been better all silver. It's awesome regardless though. It's not horrible because it's rusty, it just doesn't look right in my opinion.

I really can't wait to see a pov of this wing coaster!
