Hi, I have a quick question. I’ve never been to rides like this because they are really scary to me, because of the speed and the big falls, I’m 15 and I am going to dollywood ina few weeks, I am kind of scared to ride this rollercoaster, but it seems really cool. Since I haven’t ride one, I don’t know how it feels like. I wanted to know since the speed is like 61mph, does it feel really fast and does it feel that you head goes insane because of the speed? Also if in the fall you feel that you stomach will go out of your body because of the speed and the hight. I hope you answer back and thank youuuu!!!!!!! ))

Even I'm not sure how it'll turn out, but check back within a week and I'll have it up by 11/17. Sorry that it's taken so long, but showdowns take a while to write.

Thanks for reading!

When are you doing the showdown? I'd really like to know what you think.

I rode this ride only twice during my visit to Dolly and I liked the left side of the train because of the first Zero-G roll with that side being higher than the other. On my last ride of the day I rode the front right and I liked it but I feel I would have liked front left, but I wanted to ride both sides so I did. When you were describing the front row I was saying to myself it felt different than riding front row than any other ride, but the way you described it, is how I experienced it but I just could think of how or why. You explained it dead on.

Wild Eagle feels (and is) bigger, but X-Flight feels like an onslaught of action. It's really tight. Again, I'll be doing a roller coaster showdown for the readers AND for myself. I really need to think it out more. There's really not a clear choice because they are so different.

You're right Nick. They are very different. It makes it tough to compare them, but I'm planning on a roller coaster showdown where I'll do just that.

For now though, I'll say that you get a pretty similar ride. They're both packed with inversions so you spend a lot of time on both inverting one way or another. Like I suspected X-Flight's strength is those near-misses and Wild Eagle's is its setting. I'll go more in-depth in the showdown post. Stay tuned.

How does Wild Eagle compare to Xflight? They seem very different when looking at their respective layouts.
