GCI coming to Dollywood in 2004!!

From the artist renderings, it appears that the trains will have mock train engines as the lead cars (sort of like Big Thunder Mountain RR). I wonder if that will actually happen. I'm already salivating over this coaster and can't wait to get to it next season. What other flats/rides are they going to have in this new themed area?

Take the artists renderings as what they are: An artistic interpretation of the ride concept. I wouldn't expect the mock train engines... although, I could be wrong...

Wait, they're calling Thunderhead the wildest ride in the woods?! I thought Buzz Saw Falls was called the Wildest Ride in the Woods.

Everything on the Thunderhead poster is from SDC. Including the trains which are Thunderation.

I Seriously doubt the Lead cars of the trains will resemble Steam Locomotives. They may have 2D cutouts of Engines, like what they did with the eyes on the front of the Ozark Wildcat cars. I'm sure there would be confusion with Thunder Express if the did.

Don't take anything in these paintings to heart. There just there to excite the public, and get expectations up.

I know how you feel. Based on the shade of the paintings, I was almost 100% sure it was the world's first Wooden-Giga 4D Water-Coaster. :(
