The Wild Eagle rollercoaster at Dollywood Theme Park, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

When we were at Dollywood back in 2010 Pete Owens was taking us through Mystery Mine and he stopped us and told us to look up at the hill because one day it would be very different.  This is what he was talking about.

Wild Eagle is a Wingrider coaster by Bolliger and Mabillard for the park in 2012.

After climbing to the top of the mountain and diving into a vertical loop Wild Eagle follows it up with a stunning zero g roll .

What is stunning is as you roll over looking out to the side at the amazing natural beauty that is all around you here at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Following up the zero g roll is my favorite the Immelmann.
