Is anyone else just as excited for the actual eagle sculpture as the coaster?

ME. Speaking of which, does anyone know where it's being put?

 

[Hatetofly]

I was hoping for it to be placed at the entry. Imagine walking directly underneath this bad boy on the way to the ride.

Ohh perfect position , it screams you must be this badass to ride.

Seriously that statue is the best thing ever, and it will only get better as it ages.

I bet it shoots laser beams out of its eyes. Something that bad-ass has to. But only when no one is looking.

How is it silly, 100% of the donations go to the conservation of the wild eagles.

Lucky. I just started a new job and I can't take any vacation time for SIX MONTHS.

 

[tiredoldspook]

Hotels are booked for Willimasburg and PIgeon Forge, Hope Verbolten is open...Can't wait for Wild Eagle and Mystery Mine!

 

[TheDecemberists]

It looks fun. I'm still more excited about the metal eagle sculpture.

Ok well last week I went to Dollywood to ride two things The Barnstormer and Wild Eagle. I'll start with my expiernence on Barnstoemer first, ok first of all the new area is so much better than what was there before it seems so much nicer and better themed, the ride was just WOW!!! This was the first screamin swing for me so it was a new expierence I didnt think it would be that fun but boy was I wrong that is one of my new favorite flat rides it was such an amazing feeling when you go weightless!!! Now my ride on Wild Eagle...AH-MAY-ZING the station was Beuitful it kinda felt like you were in a rustic cabin I only got to ride once with a wait of 30 minutes not to bad, but I got in the left side(an attendent chooses which side you go to, well when I was there they did) but I sat in the last row in the left side of the train the hangtime on this thing is just ridiculous!!! I would have to ride it a few more times too rank it as my favorite coaster(Rip Ride Rockit and Goliath are still my favoirtes) and the last "new" thing I tried at dollywood was Cinnamon Bread....Godly this bread was made from the Heavens it was so Amazing if you ever go to Dollywood you have to try it its not an option not to!!! Overall I had an Amazing time and im proud that this is my homepark

Glad you liked Wild Eagle. I've tried Barnstormer (a scary swing but smooth.. loved the sayings on the roof of the building) and the cinnamon bread (so so good). Need. To. Get. Out. There. Soon.
