Cant wait for them to reveal the trains on November 19th.... my guess is that when the backstage tour goes on during smokey mountain, they would show the trains as well???? Possibly????? unless they are not on site at that time. I think its a cool ride, but I wonder how much space those cars have, they look small based on the animation, of course cant really judge by that, but I am thinking something like goldrush? If so, that would suck as I can barely fit, being 6'2 haha

so whose layout was the closest :lol: The layout transfers right after the building and again right after the station. I want to see those transfer tracks in action, I haven't seen one of that style before.

If they are onsite, I'm sure that will be part of it.

I think so, I didnt get to ride that when I was down in disney as the only park I didnt go to was animal kingdom...

Thats cool Jarsh, I hope they are on site at that time. Not sure if they will be revealing them at the park or somewhere else? DId anyone else notices they put helices? :lol:

I believe we may see this ride at Silver Dollar City too. Do you guys remember that survey the park sent out about retheming one of the sections? I'm fuzzy on this, but I believe one of the options was a fireworks theme and I think that was the favorite of the survey. I don't know, but I think I remember reading about it on screamscape. Now I know that SDC already has PowderKeg which launches AND has a lift hill which is pretty much what Firechaser Express is. But do you think it is possible?

This coaster looks like a lot of fun and will be a great fit for Dollywood.
