Whats Next: Dollywood - [WILDWOOD GROVE PART 2]

  • For some time now, there have been rumors that the park will add onto there new for 2019 Wildwood Grove. Wildwood Grove is meant for the whole family, with several kiddie attractions. However, with the rumors floating around we could be looking at an even bigger expansion featuring a new coaster. Today, we’re going to go in-depth to Dollywood's lineup to look for expansion patterns, look for gaps in the lineup, possible space for expansion because space can give us a good idea of what they could add. First and foremost we need to look at what coasters the park already has, this will help us later on when we are looking for gaps. The parks have an old enclose coaster, a kiddie coaster, two-family coasters (one of which is inverted), two woodie (one of which is launched), a beyond vertical drop coaster, a custom looper, and then a unique coaster in the form of a B&M Wing. As you can see the park has a pretty solid lineup, nailing pretty much every category. Looking for some gaps, a pretty noticeable one is a traditional Hyper coaster. This could come in the form of a B&M, modern Intamin, or even a Mack. Mack has really shown there Hypercoaster models can compete, and they recently worked with Mack on Time Traveler at Silver Dollar City so that could be an option. Other gaps may include a traditional launch coaster. As of now the park has two launch coasters, however, they have yet to add a traditional straight track launch coaster. They have firechaser express which has a backwards launch, and Lightning Rod with an angled launch. A traditional launch like Taron or Taiga or even Copperhead Strike. Other than that, maybe a water coaster, but that's least likely. Okay, we have now looked at the current lineup and gaps in the lineup, so where are some locations these coasters can go. Usually, in my What's Next videos I go around the park and suggest several different areas where they could one day build. Today's episode is going to be a little different… because we are talking about Wildwood Grove Part 2 Expansion, where we were only going to be talking about one spot, and there is the plot of land behind Wildwood Grove. If we are looking at a Part 2 expansion, then I would believe this to be the land it would occupy not somewhere else. From a birds-eye view of there's a pretty solid amount of space, definitely a good amount for a sizable coaster. Anyway, I don't want to get carried off-topic, what are the top coasters that could make their way to Dollywood after 2020?

    The Intamin Hyper idea is great. But imagine a B&M Hyper that is also a terrain coaster going over those hills. Now imagine it as a hybrid between Shambhala and Mako.

    So you referenced "rumors" but didn't mention that Dollywood sent out a survey with three ideas. Indoor themed coaster was on the list. I think that's by far the best fit. Dollywood is a theme park with a family focus, not an amusement park that focuses on teenagers. It doesn't have a traditional dark ride but Blazing Fury basically fills that roll. But themed rides make sense there.
    I think the perfect fit would be a Wildwood Grove take on Verbolten but built by Premier Rides or Vekoma. Both companies have done highly themed indoor launched coasters when you look at Disney and Universal. It would just be a question of whether or not Dollywood wants to put that kind of money and effort into the theming.
    We've seen Herschend invest a lot of money in the last decade, especially on Dollywood. Dollywood has already said that this will be their last major investment for a while. I think Dollywood's GP already see Wild Eagle as their big intimidating coasters due to its height and visual prominence. While I'm sure the enthusiasts would love a hypercoaster or some new coaster type, I don't think Dollywood needs to chase that crowd. An indoor themed coaster (Mystery Mine doesn't count) would really be excellent and complement the park perfectly.

      Couldn’t agree more with what you said. Dolly herself even referenced that she wants “her park” to emulate Disney, with more theming and adding more resorts. Dollywood already has a great lineup of coasters, but in order to get within range of Disney/Universal they need to up their game with family rides... and like you said theming.
      The latter costs a lot of money and is a reason why most parks don’t or simply can’t afford it. Although I think a phase two of Wildwood Groove lends itself to something with quality theming. Personally I think the park needs more dark rides, yes Blazing Fury technically checks that box, but Dollywood deserves a new state of the art dark ride- I mean Six Flags even has the Justice League attraction which is pretty impressive for their standards. I think a trackless dark would be fun, and would give guests another attraction to ride when the weather is not good or during holiday events.

    I personally talked to an employee, and asked why Lighting Rod was always down? She juts said what was happening, and said that Dollywood actually went to court and, she said that they will never have another Coaster by RMC, so probably not a Raptor. It would be cool but probably not

    • @robertpolk9910
      @robertpolk9910 4 года назад +3

      Lightning Rod's problems lie with the launch system designed by Intamin, not with RMC, who did everything else. Every other RMC has a chain lift hill and works great. Dollywood probably wouldn't get a RMC Raptor because the 2 original models only have 8 single file seat trains and are very low capacity. Most hypers hold 28-36 people per train and Mack Spinners hold 16, which allows for much greater riders per hour.

    B&M hyper seems to be the most fitting pick. There’s a good chance they go with that. Although I’d like to see something else, B&M hyper would be a great fit and help bolster that lineup. You should do a whats next for six flags gadv:)

    @FullTimeCoasterTour 4 года назад

    Any of the options you mentioned would be welcome. I love Dollywood and see them as a park that knows how to take care of the people. So I could totally see them going with a GP favorite type of coaster over another aggressive enthusiast style like lighting Rod this time around.
    They just added the beautiful family area and gave them a solid family coaster at Wildwood Grove and its time for a big one in the next 2 years. While I don't like Mack as much as many do these days I think the success of Time Traveler at their sister park will have some sway. I could easily see a Mack launched spinner coming. But my official guess is going to be a B&M Hyper in the same mold as Candymonium. Not what I would like best but that's what I expect.
    Ps. My top choice would be an Intamin Hyper for the exact reason you stated. It would be the only Intamin Hyper in Appalachia or anywhere around. oh man would I love that! or could you imagine a Giga at Dollywood????? =0

    A Mack hyper would be outstanding. DC Rivals has rave reviews, and it would be the 1st in North America. Plus who wouldn't want a backward riding rear train on a hyper.

    • @timk987
      @timk987 4 года назад +1

      Not disagreeing with your choice of a Mack Hyper, but I think backward facing last car was more of a custom order by Warner Bros. Movie World. I think if Dollywood went this route, we'd be looking at a completely custom coaster and they would opt for the capacity of a standard 4 seat last car.

    • @michaelflynn6242
      @michaelflynn6242 4 года назад +1

      @@timk987 Absolutely it would be a custom layout. And Dollywood might not have the last car backward. I just hope they would do that option. I do believe that Warner Brothers movie world charges a little extra to ride it and gives the money to charity.
