Wild Eagle Review, Dollywood Bolliger & Mabillard Wing Coaster | Non-Copyright 

This was my first B&M Wing! I was a really fun ride. I actually got floater airtime off of a few of the hills!

Fantastic coaster. The setting really makes a huge difference, its brilliantly positioned and integrated into the landscape. Along with the trains, its very memorable because it fits with the theming. Like Wildfire at SDC, its not a super-intense B&M, but that's why I like it. The elements feel stretched out, floaty and fun, and that fits perfectly with the theme of a soaring eagle.

When I rode Wild Eagle this past October, it was easily my 2nd favorite in the park. Also, Thunderhead and Wild Eagle were both walk-ons even though the park was packed. That was because everyone was in line for Firechaser Express and Mystery Mine, both had over an hour wait. I can not wait to ride the other B&M Wing Coasters, I just love the feeling of flying through the air.

I love everything about this coaster except the vest restraints that keep cinching down during the ride making breathing a problem, especially for taller folks like me. Glad that's improved. It's not supposed to be intense but floaty and graceful. The setting is really cool and the entry area is really great. It is a great contrast to Lightning Rod which serves as the psychotic adrenaline machine for the park.

I know a lot of coaster enthusiasts call this ride Mild Eagle but I love it. The first drop is very fun anywhere on the train. The scenery is beautiful. I wish there was a near-miss structure to fly through but the native vegetation looks great too. The best part for me is I can get off the ride and jump right back in line and ride it again. I love all coasters but I am getting older and my neck does not handle the rough ones as well as it used to. (I grew up riding the Texas Cyclone and that was a rough one.) The ride is so smooth it feels like you are flying. Don't get me wrong I also enjoy Lightning Rod, Thunderhead, and Tennessee Tornado, but I need a break after those rides. But I could ride Wild Eagle all day. The efficiency of the ride also makes re-rides fun because the wait is short.

If you're on the right side of the train, the first half of the figure-8 finale gives a great view looking down to the Christmas tree at that time of year. That's the main reason I prefer the right side. My first day in 2019, snow kept Thunderhead & Lightning Rod closed, so I did a 16-ride marathon on Wild Eagle, most at night, and I loved every single ride. While I prefer Gatekeeper & Thunderbird, Wild Eagle is still so much fun, and it's my 3rd favorite in the park. I have no problem with the restraints, as I love vest restraints, and even though the layout could've been better, I still enjoy it.

Those straight drops on B&M Wing Coasters are sooo good. I rode Raptor at Gardaland, and the drop caught me completely off guard in the back

This is minor but there's one thing this ride is missing. You know how Banshee at Kings Island makes a screaming noise when it reaches the top of the lift hill? Well it would be cool if they had an audio device that made the sound of an eagle once the ride reaches the top of the lift hill.

This was my third B&M Wing. It makes sense it's the first in America as it has a shorter layout and no wing over drop. It is fun, the drop is by far the best cause it actually gave a little floater in the back which is crazy considering it has insanely tight vest restrictions and it literally a wing coaster. Unfortunately the rest of the ride does nothing fir me, very smooth drawn out inversions, not forceful at all, but its not meant to be intense cause a wing coaster is a GP attractor. Still a unique layout fir what it is.

Garlic bread

There's this really popular family channel called Tic Tac Toy, I don't know if you've heard of them, but they went to Dollywood at one point while they were still living in Tennessee. After the kids first faced their fears on Firechaser Express, and loved it, they then went on to conquer most of the coasters in the park (except Lightning Rod which was of course down). Wild Eagle ended up being Maya's & Addy's (age 8 & 10 respectively at the time, I think) favorite ride, while Dragonflier was Colin's (6) favorite.

I appreciate you doing these Dollywood videos, I'll be visiting next month after having it on my bucket list for years! Looking forward to the drop on this one, was thinking it looked great moments before you mentioned it aha.

In the US, I recently finished all the wing coasters and I find this to be the second best B&M wing. The setting, hangtime, and first drop make it for me 1. Thunderbird 2. Wild Eagle 3. GateKeeper 4. X-flight

One of the most gut-wrenching drops I’ve ever experienced

This coaster is so much fun!! Love going on it. :-)

"Wild Eagle: It's uhhh, well I mean it's better than X-Flight I guess. Sorry it isn't Thunderbird"

Great review. Answered what I was looking for.

So excited to wilde eagle

I'm excited to ride this as my first B&M wing.

It's no Rudy's Rapid Transit, my friend, but it still looks pretty good.. I'm gonna work in Nashville for a few weeks in May, and I will take a drive out to Dollywood for a day. Can't wait to see that park. CANOBIE.....MY MAN!!

I liked this coaster a lot but call me weird, but loved FireChaser Express and Tennessee Tornado even more.

Rode for the first time last summer. It’s okay. I would say it’s 4th or 5th behind LR, MM, Thunderhead and Tenn Tor

My first Dollywood visit, this ride had a 90 min wait

Rode Thunderbird for the first time a few hours ago. Disappointed because it was rough and a bit jerky. I’ll take the graceful and smooth Wild Eagle any day over the bird. I think it’s also a more beautiful coaster to watch in action.

Will you be reviewing anymore UK rides/parks? Either way keep up with the good work, your videos always make my day

Out of the 4 B&M wing coasters I’ve ridden, this is my least favorite. The scenery is solid for the ride though. Nice review!

My first B&M, don’t remember much besides the uncomfortable restraints and actually somewhat greying out on the Immelmann.

When is the next QnA? I really enjoyed the last time.

I’ve only ridden this and Gatekeeper and Gatekeeper is my favorite this is cool though

This was going to be my 2nd wing after thunderbird, but it was closed the 2 days I was there! Still mad about that.

With all due respect... I'm not sure where you get that Wild eagle is "accomodating to larger guests"... I went last year at 250 pounds, and couldn't fit, because of the vest restraint.

How steep is the drop

Gatekeeper>thunderbird>x-flight>wild eagle

weird

I Know This Unpopular Opinion I Hate Wild Eagle This Ride Sucks It Was Pain Was Rough I Hate Vest

Blah, very bog standard coaster. Ill take LROD, Thunderhead, Tennessee Tornado, or even Mystery Mine over it. Granted this is coming from someone who finds most B&Ms to be nothing special however when they get it right man do they get it right (Fury 325)
