Doesn't have to be that exact name, there are plenty of names they could use in reference to the Smokey mountains or mountains in general. The idea of a mountain indoor/outdoor coaster would be cool I think.

Ya, see that works. Blue Ridge Parkway Express coaster, it could be like a thrill ride down the Parkway. There is a section of the Parkway called Tail of the Dragon , that could make for an excellent theme.

Not at all. I can't see them building a bridge, that's way too costly. With some relatively minor changes to the current employee entrance (which already has someone manning it), it could serve double duty as a resort entrance and employee entrance.

The "Tail of the Dragon" is not on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's a stretch of Hwy 129 that crosses the NC/TN line. Some of the best curve combinations are on the TN side, but that's just my opinion.

What would be cool is if famousamos or someone would take the new pieces of the expansion 2016 and overlay with that map. Just the new stuff only vs a full overlay!
