@hillsareflat2314 10 месяцев назад

I know many people won't see this, but if you have the chance, do a night ride. The audio and lights add to everything making the ride so much better!

@lumist 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely!! It takes the experience up a notch!

@gemmachaos Год назад

What I like is that a family friendly ride doesn't have to be a small ride or a standard issue Vekoma roller skater or Mack powered coaster anymore. Family coasters can be big, proud, featuring rides, too. Same goes for the new Zambezi Zinger. We need more of that mindset in Europe. All too often do new family rides in Europe end up small, standard issue coasters.

@m.hoffman2889 Год назад

a family coaster in Europe usually means a Vekoma family boomerang, a Zierer tivoli, a Mack powered or a Mack wild mouse. But here and there you find better ones with custom layouts and being also fun for a bigger audience, take for example Pegase Express at Parc Asterix, Arthur at Europapark, Gsengte Sau at Tripsdrill or Studio Tour at Movie Park

@MrPatrickbuit Месяц назад

Yeah but that's also because the budget for this project was massive. 25 million is the kind of money you'd spend on a park headliner. Taron was 28 million, but that admittedly was almost 10 years ago so it'd be closer to 40 million now.

@gemmachaos Месяц назад

@@MrPatrickbuit My complaint was very much a home-park-biased one, as the Efteling filled their family coaster niche with a boring Mack powered coaster. And that is not a low budget park!

@mrjiggawatt Год назад

People say this coaster is for kids but I think it has appeal to older people who can’t handle all the extreme elements in modern coasters.

@MattMcIrvin Год назад

There is going to be a time when I can't deal with the intense ones any more. I'm not as up for punishment as I used to be and I can already see it coming. Rode Dragon Khan a few weeks ago and I had to sit down for a really long time after that.

@blueberrymuffin_s Год назад

This would also be great for people like me who are scared of roller coasters and have motion sickness issues. I have to build up to the bigger coasters and these types of coasters will help me get accompanied to the feelings you get from coasters.

@zacg_ Год назад

I really hope that the trees grow in throughout Wildwood Grove. Obviously, calling it a grove makes everyone expect a forested location. But even putting that aside, so much of Dollywood is situated surrounded by trees and it really seems like that would make the area seem so magical. I think of some park areas, especially at your home parks of KD and BGW, or down at Disney's Animal Kingdom, where you are surrounded by the trees and foliage and it makes the experience really great.

@MattMcIrvin Год назад

There was a time, back in the 1970s or so, when most big theme parks concentrated on family rides, with maybe one or two big thrill coasters. Given the clientele, it made sense, but there was a kind of arms race that eventually happened, and milder coasters ended up consigned to small kiddie areas. I think it's great that somebody is concentrating on this, because aside from kids, there are a lot of adults who are just not into intense rides. I like hearing about anything I might be able to share with my non-enthusiast family.

@staringcorgi6475 Год назад

Invadr was installed in 2010s not a big thrill coaster

@spaceoorulu8663 Год назад

Hoping Dollywood eventually landscapes that first half of the ride. I imagine that would make night rides on it absolutely incredible

@MustachioFurioso9134 Год назад

Knowing Dollywood, they likely will in the future. They have great landscapers.

It’s AHHHMAZING. And also the smoothest coaster I’ve EVER ridden. Such a great ride

@danpro4519 Год назад

As coaster enthusiast with kids, this kind of ride fills me with joy! Dollywood is top tier if you have kids AND love roller coasters.

Just rode this today with my family. Fantastic ride. It’s just plain fun. I think it will appeal to everytype of park guest.

@CoasterStudios Год назад

@lyndonsmith7772 Год назад

My first thought on seeing this was Hagrid's minus the theming and spike/drop track. Similar experience? Also as much as I want DW to get a giga (or an RMC that will bloody well be open when I'm at the park) I think think this is an absolutely perfect addition. Well played, Dollywood!

@MattMcCoasters Год назад

My boy is 3.5 and he's 39 inches already and we are going to enjoy it together.

@loopingthrills645 Год назад

I've luckily rode this and I'm from the UK so I ride alot of European coasters and I found this to be my favourite family coaster (obviously if theming probs hagrid or wickerman) but this layout is great feels like a family blitz

@Hogwarts86 3 месяца назад

I work there and went into the ride with low expectations! It is now one of my favorite rides in the park!

@davidnevolo4402 Год назад

Sounds awesome. Family coasters sre not exclusively “bad.” Take sea world san diego for example; their mack family launch coaster, manta, has CRAZY moments of airtime, lots of s bends and bunny hills, and its exhilarating. Really enjoyed it, more memorably than emporer, their b and m dive. This ride looks very enjoyable.

@lumist 5 месяцев назад

Great review! Last year's Coaster Con was my first visit to Dollywood, and BBM was the first coaster I rode at the park. I didn't have many expectations for it, and I was totally blown away by how much fun it was to ride. I might even dare to say it was my fave coaster there, lol. (That being said, Thunderhead is a GCI masterpiece, and the rest of the coaster collection is fantastic as well). Vekoma has made unbelievable progress, and I'm hoping that my home park (Canada's Wonderland) will invest in a launched Vekoma someday!

@TheNo.1nerd-lookin-noob 4 месяца назад

This roller coaster is just plain enjoyable it’s so smooth has mid launches and some pretty good fun elements

@First-Drop-Studios Год назад

I am really intrigued by this coaster. I love how everything feels like one element. It looks like a great step up to the thrill rides at Dollywood. I really like the terrain usage and the theming looks ok. When those planted trees grow in it will probably feel like a more complete experience.

@kellster2193 Год назад

I just rode it on Friday. And even though it is a family coaster. It is my new favorite roller coaster in the park. Yes, I agree they need to add a bear statue or animatronic somewhere. But, it is a coaster that is always going to be in my top 10. Thankfully, I only live 3 hours away from Dollywood. So I give huge props. Amazing new ride.

@SignalProcessingWithPaul Год назад

I think this ride just does everything right. Not too forceful for kids, but still enough fun for enthusiasts. Awesome length, fun elements, and butter smooth. Lightning Rod was my favorite ride in the park but I'm really glad they added this. Would love to see more of these around, and I think Disney could use this type of ride too.

@lightningboat 11 месяцев назад

Tron and Cosmic Rewind seem to give similar rides

@hargibson18 4 месяца назад

This is what Cedar Point should build next, replace Cedar Creek Mine Ride with an updated vision of what that could be. Theme it as well as they've themed stuff like Jungle X-pedition at King's Dominion or Ghost Town at Knott's, and voila you have another solid family ride and a much better use of that plot of land. Maybe you can go for a combo lift hill and launch layout, one of each.

@alantrotter2077 Год назад

From my perspective it looks like a great addition to Dollywood and I look forward to riding it at some point over the next few weeks. But I can see Marty having an issue with this getting a "9" and Kondaa only getting an "8.5".....

@spentron1 Год назад

This seems like the launched mine train concept I've been tossing about, except kind of goes past it, especially in budget (seems like Golden Horse or the like could sell a bunch to smaller parks). Also lacks the level of integration into the setting or real airtime by the very end I had in mind.

@ItsDannyRobbins Год назад

The park advertised this ride as having "22 butterfly moments", meaning very gentle airtime. Taylor is right to say this ride is meant to be an introduction to the sensation of airtime for little kids.

@spentron1 Год назад

@@ItsDannyRobbins I figured, although someone else said there was a small amount of actual airtime, descriptions vary though. Sounds like a lot of "misses" haha. At any rate, multi-launches means it's more possible to fine tune such a ride, and to work up to the real excitement without interruption.

@MatecaCorp Год назад

So it’s a coaster themed to trying to find a bear in the woods, located in an area of the park called Wildwood Grove, but there aren’t any trees or even landscaping along the majority of the ride

@Harrys.Truman-fanpage Год назад

They should have bear statue Looks like a fun coaster that will be better than Dragon Flier! My only complaints are how there aren’t trees or grass in some areas and I don’t like the music, it just feels as if it doesn’t know the theme it’s going for.

@alex33952 Год назад

My home park six flags New England would really benefit from this. It would need to be smaller due to space but would add a launch and great family option for the top two here. No way Six flags spends 25 million at a mid tier park

The reason you don't have a favorite element is because there are no elements. Nothing taller, faster, more inverted, or in any way different from the rest of the ride. It's literally and endless repetition of left bank, right bank, repeat, close to the ground. That said it's pretty good but hilariously homogeneous

@CoasterStudios Год назад

It’s not as good as Hagrids- but that’s also punchier, has a higher height requirement, and has the budget of Universal Parks. That’s a clear 10/10 haha.

@alantrotter2077 Год назад

@@CoasterStudios Not sure Hagrid's is a clear 10/10 if you aren't a Harry Potter fan. Coaster stops and starts so the pacing and flow isn't the best in terms of a coaster experience. Plus the bike is a much better experience than the side car. In some ways I think Hagrid's is geared to be a little more thrilling than this one but I will be able to tell more after I ride Big Bear shortly.

i live in knoxville and personally dollywood needs mofre thrill. More looping coasters! only 3 that have inversions and 6 that dont. We need an B&M invert like great bear or Raptor here. big bear is in my opinion a wasted investment. very low forces and not too fast tbh. id rather drive 4 hours and spend less money at six flags. its not that great of a park tbh. i like thrill and there is no thrill. the best coaster in the park is mysterymine and they ruined it by taking out the sharp overbanked turn in the first half. very disapointing park now.
