I hope and pray this isn't anything like big boring mountain, terrible gravy, or diseases wolf gorge. Those coasters are terrible. I've been to sdc over 1,000 times. Its my favorite place in the world. But the last time we went was awful. Rides down everywhere, all the old timers are slowly retiring and the new younger workers are rude and don't give a fuck about the park. It was bad enough that I'm not bringing my family back for the first time in the 43 years I've been alive. We are going elsewhere this year. And if this new coaster is anything like those stupid family coasters that have gotten so popular, we will not be back next year either.

Reported the above comment from rabidplatypus. No need for hateful language.

Also, Big Bear Mountain is an astonishingly fun roller coaster. It's surprisingly forceful and has great onboard audio. I can't imagine not having a good time riding it.

I hope the new coaster curves through walkways like BBM. I've never been to Dollywood but the videos I've seen are impressive with how the layout of the coaster goes right over and around the main area of the park. And as a person getting older in their 50's, I also hope its as smooth as BBM.

Yet it's not a BBM clone... It's not the same company that built BBM. It's not a "First" in North America. Not sure where this narrative started and why it's being pushed so hard everywhere. It's also interesting seeing all these newer accounts on here pushing this narrative without full evidence when asked. Makes me think it's employees trying to deflect and distract as they do with the "World's Largest Dollar General". It's cute but comes off as trolling.

Also BBM is just a weaker PK without the awesome first launch.

Also people are forgetting this park literally built and marketed an Xtreme Spinner for families. Yes it will have its own unique flavor bridging high thrill and family coaster so the classifications kinda get thrown out the window here.

I'm actually surprised they didn't give Dollywood an Xtreme Spinner by now. It may possibly be TN Tornadoes replacement in the future as I can see them keeping the weather theme for the spinning.

From my experience, usually the employees are rude whenever it's first slung in their direction. Seems like it might be a you issue

Any ideas as to why several AP flumes are staged in the middle of the construction?  Not saying it means anything - just seems random.   

They are currently raising telephone poles (4 up, at least 3 more in a pile) next to the AP lift hill.
