I know where I am heading next year. This ride looks awesome and along with the other coasters in the park, its one place I need to visit.

Looks like my "big" trip of the year next summer will include this, SFoG,Lake Whinnie, Holiday World (out of the way, yes) and Pcar... Can't wait! Looks like it will be an awesome addition to the already impressive looking Dollywood!

Pcar?  You mean Carowinds?

[Robert T Ackerman]

Pcar?  You mean Carowinds?

Yes, sorry

[PcMan]

I'm sure ACE will have a local event next year.
I've never been to Dollywood, but next year looks like a good time to go.
Lets hope we see some rides like this in Six Flags future.
