RCDB just made a mistake on one of the inversions. It's counting the "Roll Over" as 2 inversions, because that's also the name of the double inversion on Pinfari Corkscrews. It's actually more like a "Twist and Dive" (think Manhattan Express), so there's 3 inversions.

Exactly.

This is certainly going to be my most anticipated 'steel' coaster next year. That and the X No Way Out re-theme :lmao:

I hope that the actual coaster and theming is as pretty as the pictures when all is said and done. If so, Dollywood's gonna have a sure fire winner on their hands. This one’s definitely on my watch list.

Theming is going to be a HUGE part of the ride experience given the budget and relatively "do-able" cost of the eurofighter itself compared to larger steel coasters like B&Ms and Intamins. It looks like it will be story-intensive, so I would expect it to be as nice as the video showed.

Hey everyone!

Thanks to Electerik submitting some recent construction photos I have started an "official" TPR Dollywood 2007 update page:
http://www.themeparkreview.com/dollywoo ... od2007.htm

Just like we did the Tatsu construction updates, we'll continue to post new pics as they come in.

Thanks for the update Erik!

^ Hey, no problem!

Some of the photos turned out a little darker than I thought. For what it's worth, the crate on the cart (next to "the green container") actually says "Danger" and "Mystery Mine" on it. So either they've already got some theming in place, or they're just winking at us shutterbugs. :P

According to this article, Mystery Mine will be the tallest building ever constructed at Dollywood. Also, the talking bird is being moved into the new attraction. Believe it or not, Dollywood is already starting to plan for their 2008 expansion. This park is growing at a huge pace. I really can not wait to see what happens in the coming years!
