Yeah, 70% chance throughout the day on Friday. Supposed to taper off towards the evening.

Saturday looks like it will be hit or miss at 40%. Looks like I am going on Sunday afternoon.

Our local NBC affiliate has "some" POV from Wild Eagle...watch the video, but note that it starts out as news and weather and then goes in Live to Wild Eagle at about :29-seconds in.

Nice video. It looks as if you maintain much more speed that I had previously expected. I can't wait to ride on Saturday! I will be there with bells on at 8am!:br

I don't know about Thinderhead, but Thunderhead is awesome in the rain. Even better in light snow. :br :lover: :br

I knew this eagle was big, but I didn't fully realize until just now that it's could-totally-pick-up-and-carry-away-that-car-if-it-wanted-to big. Whoa! :wtf:
Amazing picture!

The Nashville CBS affilate had a nice interview with a guy (I caught it late so I'm not sure who he was) talking about the new ride WHILE riding it. The ride looked great from this angle and seemed to have some nice speed. I also liked the way it interacted with the trees. Of course this was a limited POV, so who knows.
