Railer Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 It took me quite a few times of watching the released vid, to figure most of it out. They don't really show the the break run, trans track, and station. And a few of the element's are really fast shot's of them. But there is a huge element that's the last one. It dives into the break run it look's like. I can't wait for the POV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I grabbed a screengrab of that sideways airtime pop, it's the 1st element after the drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC98 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) ^ That looks awesome, but the coolest part is that might not even be the best part of the ride! For me that would be this: Shows just how many great elements this ride will have! Edited August 8, 2015 by RC98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 The tophat thing is cool too. It was in the animation from an aerial view, no still of it unless someone got a screen grab. Your sideways, and have a little air-time "hump" while sideways for ejector air, but your not going up, your ejected sideways. That's never been done either. It was done on Outlaw Run: Also, here's the pic from Dollywood's website of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I was thinking that also looking at the other "topper track" coasters out there, i never really looked at Outlaw Run in great detail before besides some POV's. I think i like these alot better then "I-Box" as Traditional Wood Coasters. I think "I-Box" Coasters should be classified as "I-Box Coasters". They each have their own good quality's that are alot different from each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterharrison'98 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Dollywoods on its way to becoming a world class attraction! And to think I was there when they opened the Wild Eagle back in 2012, I thought to myself wow I wonder what's next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpq Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Dollywoods on its way to becoming a world class attraction! I was just going to mention this. the past few years they have been pumping out amazing rides and even the addition of the hotel. Def turning into a major player, wish it was closer.\ 1- that last section of the ride looks amazing. 2- that top hat element, once the train gets into the full sidewise transition, does it stay "level?'' or id there like a small "air time" hil built in? I cant tell from the pics, itshard to tell with the angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Dollywood has a $300 million ten year plan. That is a lot of money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpq Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 30 million a year, that will deff get the job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 $150 million was spent on the DreamMore resort. There is about $100 million remaining, and apparently an exec at Dollywood during media day stated or implied this would be their last major coaster for the foreseeable future.

Mrpq Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Ah I wasn't sure how much they spent on the resort. Honestly with the coaster they have put in over the past few years I don't think a few years without a new coaster is going to hurt them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think "a few years" could easily mean 10-15 for them without a coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpq Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I don't they will go that long without one but time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Dolly actually made a comment in the "show" for the Coaster reveal that they are going thru the 300mil fast. I've never planned a trip for a Park, Dollywood would be worthy of my first one with the new resort, and "Lightning Rod". I have to look into room prices and all.

Medusa42 Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHlbR53M5N5/?igshid=np7m62twvvel "acesoutheast Per “Lloyd” at our Q&A session, Lightning Rod will become a hybrid version of topper track and I-box track in 2021. This move will make the coaster much more reliable and improve maintenance issues going forward. The layout will remain the same with no changes."
