Dollywood in East Tennessee built a wooden coaster in the last ten years. I
think it is called Thunder Alley.
Dollywood is up in some hollows in the mountains of East Tennessee and they
expanded into a new hollow to build Thunder Alley. the next year they built
Timber Tower which is similar to one of those swing rides but when the
swings got up to the top of the post the post started pivoting. So the
swings started swinging vertical and one would feel like they might hit the
ground. When I heard of this I thought there would be too much that could go
wrong with this ride with all the forces being put on the different parts of
this ride. they had all kinds of trouble keeping it going and did shut it
down and dismantled it after that year.
Oh, I almost forgot they built an in the dark coaster which was to be a ride
through coal mines.
A couple of years ago in their water park they built a water coaster. Groups
sit front to back in foam rafts and are shot up hill by the force of water
then fall downhill into ponds.
An old ride they have in the regular park is similar to this called the
Slidewinder. they weigh a group to put into a foam raft and sit front to
back. There are no seatbelts but ropes to hold on to. You start at the top
of the hill and ride down a chute that zig zags down the mountain. You then
go through a tunnel then down a steep hill into water to end the ride. then
you have to hike back up the mountain to ride again.

Hi everyone,
Speaking of rides that we remember, (and this may be one of the best ones),
is the Scream Machine that was at Six Flags Great Adventure Park in Jackson
Township, NJ. Let's see. Another groups of rides were on Coney Island. In
the late 90's, they did have a functioning wooden coaster. You gotta love
'em. I do think that their are a handful of operating wooden coasters still
left in the country, though. One of you guys mentioned Seder Park in
Ohio--Possibly their?

When I was a kid, there was a ride I loved! It was a circular track with
a single ramp. When the coaster hit the ramp, it would sail through the
air until it landed back on the track. It started slow, but the faster it
went, the farther it flew before landing and continuing around the track
to
the ramp again. It was called the flying coaster.

At Dollywood in East Tennessee they have one I think it is called the
Screaming Eagle. You sit out kind of on a wing so that there is no
platform
under your feet. And you do the loops, etc. so it feels like you are
flying
like an eagle.
This year they added one with a fire engine theme which is suitalble for
all ages. You rush forward and up an incline then run down that same
track
backward.

I absolutely love hearing about these roller coasters and where they
are located. I like to go up and look at the stats and watch vids on
YouTube.

Hi Lisa,
Lol. Oh, that would be priceless. Although, I don't think anyone would
be likely to name rides from the Bill and Monica scandal. Not unless
they were intentionally trying to bring attention to various scandals
which wouldn't exactly be a good idea commercially. Especially, trying
to explain it to kids.
Cheers!

The Beast is either an excellent coaster or my guide dog, or both.
In an amusement park in Phoenix, Arizona, they have a family roller
coaster named The Patriot, and a double looping coaster named Desert
Storm. From the titles, you can pretty much figure when they were
build?

Hi Emily,
Yes, it would help to name certain rides to make a distinction
between
say two roller-coasters. Plus it would allow someone to actually
build
certain theme parks like Six Flags, King's Island, etc since they
could use their rides as a template for a successful virtual theme
park. I'd love to be able to manage such popular rides as Magnum
Force
and the Beast.
Cheers!

i never even thought about naming the rides.
even more important if you have more than 1 of the same ride
