[krakenmaniacShe turned me into a donkey! I got better...]

there must be some major GGGGGGGGGGs around those turns

[GigalyteDonkey eat mullet pump.]

At first when this was announced I was like blah it's not all that, but not that I see it constructed and that amazing setting I can not wait to try out this Wild Eagle

[MooseWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

Thanks for the map. For some reason, I thought Wild Eagle was more toward the back of the park, not right in the middle (a very nice location, indeed).

I thought the same thing. I though the ride extended outside the limits of the park, not right in the middle. It still looks like and amazing location. Thanks for the maps.

[coasterfreakyI teach at the school of donkey!]

Nice!

So where is this coaster located in the park? Are they making any changes to the layout of the park to make it easier to get to the ride from anywhere on property? That's my one gripe with Dollywood really, if they could sort that our then ot'll be right up there with Silver Dollar City!

Well, they added Wilderness Pass in 2008 that created a loop, its easier to get around the whole park since it opened. When was your last visit?

I don't understand...what's taking them so long? The ride is being built faster than the animation is!

[jarmortoken black guy]

Well, technically I guess you could say its in the back of the park since there really isn't anything back there but Tenn Tornado...

[Bryce232Donkeys are my way of life!]

from the look of the website's construction update, there's only one piece of track left to be placed before vertical construction on Wild Eagle is completed! The last piece is the beginning of the brake section

Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! It's Wild Eagle time!

Love the Cool Runnings reference in the update.

Looks great! Can't wait until testing begins.

[jmichaThe only thing better than a naked woman is a naked donkey!]

I'm liking how many trees were left around the ride. It could have ended up like Diamondback with an awesome setting cleared of every living thing within 100 feet of the track leaving a baron stretch of land to ride in, but the mature trees around the ride will make it feel like it's been there for a while right from the start. They should offer some pretty interesting foot/head choppers as well as some of them look pretty close, especially in that last picture of the previous update.
