I hope the theming really enhances the ride. But, I am sure it will be a hit for the park.

In reference to the "Canada" term in the theming design, Forrec has a pretty good track record in coming up with some good theming qualities and designs. In fact, they are involved with a project we are doing here in Hawaii.

No... but the good news is the US will get the eurofighter style I've always wanted to ride. I'll try this one and BGW's (dive machine?) on a road trip next year (2007 is already looking pretty good, eh?)

^ That's okay.

But truth be told, Canada has been involved thru design and technical manufacturing, a good number of attractions and theme park stuff in the last few decades.

Mostly with film. But still important to the theme park industry.

Nice. Probably $10M of that is for theming alone... I love Dollywood!!

This ride looks really awesome! I kind of see this as a "Tower of Terror meeting Roller Coaster" in a way.

I'm really glad more attention has been drawn to Dollywood and Silver Dollar City in the past few years. I really think these are some of the best parks in the US and for the longest time they have been overlooked.

IMO, they are right up there with the Busch & Universal parks as some of the top theme parks in the country! Well run, very clean, great attractions!
