I've never been to Dollywood and I'm not planning anything big for next year, but possibly in 2015 I think I'm gonna have to go check it out.

Here it is! I have to say, I think this will be the best custom Junior/Family coaster on the planet!

nice,... 


Is it by chance that it "fits" in with the SDC "fireworks" theme that we think is coming this winter?

[Junior]

WOW! Looks like a good one!

It would fit in with the fireworks or the firefighter themes.  Like I said for SDC, why not be unique and make it a fireworks AND firefighter theme.  It seems that what they did for this one, but this ride looks more "major" than the GG replacement area - not that I would object.  I actually think the real thing would be better than the animation, though I doubt the explosion thing would look anything like that!

One note, if they choose the firefighter theme, I hope there will be no sirens.  Watching the video, and hearing the sirens behind the music, I kept thinking that I don't want to be walking along the lake shore or the riverfront listening to sirens blaring.

Well I guess I have rode Mr Freeze at SFSL and Boomerang at WOF too many times. I just dont really care too much for the backwards thing.  This reverse blast thing (that seems to be the thing now) I just dont like at all. So I guess I wouldnt much care for that new coaster. I kinda hope SDC dont get one similar in 2015 (2016, 2017, ETC.).

However I know this type of coaster is becoming very popular these days, so I suspect SDC has one planned. Might be OK though. It might make the que lines shorter for Powderkeg, Wildfire, FITH, and OR.

Interesting! I watched the video, and I kept waiting, and waiting, and waiting for something spectacular to happen since the ride seemed rather tame overall. Then of course it had that twist ending. Personally, I am not a fan of riding anything backwards. Which is why I was glad when ThuNderaTion finally had all of its cars turned around, and facing forward.

I'm sort of eh, about the ride. I bet it will be a good one, and Dollywood could use a good "family" coaster, but, eh.

I think it looks like a lot of fun.  It reminds me a lot of Jaguar at KBF with a launch. 
Guess I'll be able to tell you more after I ride it next week.

You see too much 'backstage' area IMO, but the ride itself looks fun. Been to Dollywood several times, anxious to see the growth in the coming years.

I literally just watched that video just before you posted it.  It looks great, and strangely like the concept video.  I can't believe all the cars that are parked around it though.

I have always liked SDC's setting better than SDCII's.  It's too cleared back in this area. Looks like in town Branson.

Dolly was on the Today show this morning promoting Dollywood and this new roller coaster.

They plan on planting a lot of trees around the ride.  Obviously they were more occupied with getting the ride open on time then planting at this time.
