  1. Attached are provided Fact sheets on the new attractions which have some pretty cool renderings. Copperhead Strike Fact Sheet.pdf Copperhead Strike Fact Sheet Mountain Gliders Fact Sheet (1).pdf Mountain Gliders Fact Sheet
  2. Good evening everyone, Jarvis has posted his freaking awesome trip report, so I don't think i can top that but here are some of my pics from the day. Carowinds rolled out the red carpet for us You know... I think I'll follow that sign. Lunch was provided and it was amazing! The entertainment they had was freakin' awesome! The new ride/area also features a giant fireplace which will be a great thing to have to warm up to in the winter! Make sure to add Carowinds - Copperhead Strike to your calendar of things to do for 2019. You will not be disappointed. Around the park, they are getting the areas cleaned up and ready to open. We couldn't play today, but we will try when we come back! The park has gone all out to create a fun and immersive queue experience. The Mountain Gliders are a nice addition to the area. (Formerly known as the Woodstock Gliders from the Camp Snoopy area) The new restaurant for the area.
  3. They did not mention that specifically. But they did say they have tons of trees to plant before it opens. They are spending over a million dollars on landscaping for this area.
  4. Lastly some Dragonflier love. This coaster will be about 63 foot tall and reach speeds of around 45 mph. There will only be one train on this coaster. Thank you to Dollywood for their hospitality and time for showing us around this amazing area. We can not wait to get back and see it completed. This is something that you do not want to miss! One last shot of the track coming out of the tunnel
  5. Below are photos of our construction tour of Dollywood's new Wildwood Grove area. Dollywood has gone all out on this area to provide a new exciting, interactive area for families. Some quick facts: $37,000,000 project $1,000,000 towards landscaping 5 acre expansion Tentative opening = May 2019 Entrance walk way from Timber Canyon into Wildwood Grove. Before this area opens, there will be a log feature that you will walk through that will "transport" you into the new area of Wildwood Grove. New quick serve restaurant on the right as you enter the new area with a giant seating area next to it. COVERED!!! New quick serve restaurant under construction. Treetop Tower ride Restroom facility. This is one of 2 facilities for this area. That will be fantastic in the busy season! Sycamore Tree Swing (Pirate Ride) Back view of the Dragonflier coaster This expansion will give you a new prospective of Thunderhead. As you can see here, Thunderhead received some love this off season. The giant building (Hidden Hollow) you see will be a climate controlled building featuring a big soft play structure and alot of seating. Dragonflier Patrick Brennan, art director for Dollywood's new Wildwood Grove area, talks about the giant Wildwood tree that will tower over the area. Behind him is the base of that structure. It will feature over 600 illuminated butterflies and other features. Black bear trail ride These are some very cute vehicles for the Black Bear Trail ride. Adults will be permitted to ride with children. Frogs & Fireflies bounce ride. Prototypes of the butterflies that will appear on the Wildwood Tree. Mad Mockingbird vehicles. We love the paint job on them.
  6. We attended the construction tour today... I will be uploading a trip report with some AWESOME photos of the project, especially Dragonflier coaster Stand by!
  7. A weird question for everyone... Do you know if Dollywood still does their Dolly Dollars? I think they stopped them but was curious. I've got tons of them from all the way back to 1995. Anyone else collect them?
  8. Correct. The tree currently is a big hole in the ground. This is their version of Avatar... Wildwood : Land of Dolly lol jk
  9. 1st time going to Sea World San Antonio on Tuesday, any tips? We won't be doing the waterpark.
  10. Theme Park Review was invited to attend the media day at Dollywood for Wildwood Grove and let me say, they were fantastic. Wildwood Grove is the largest expansion EVER for the property and will feature over 11 family experiences. You will enter the area by entering through a fallen log in the Timber Canyon area right by the Mystery Mine entrance. Once through the log, you will be transported to the wild, mystical world of Wildwood grove. I hope you enjoy the pictures below and please let me know if you have any questions. -David Welcome to the Wildwood Grove Media Day! Welcome to the Wildwood Grove Media Day!
