Screamscape said:2014 - FireChaser Express - (10/2/13) While there are still a lot of questions about just how the layout of Firechase Express will work, a press release from Gerstlauer about their 2014 project confirmed that in addition to the forward and backwards launch sections, the coaster will also feature “a reversing section”... whatever that means. I wonder if this is some kind of turntable to turn the train around.
Screamscape said:General Park News - (11/8/13) First TuPac and now Dolly! Yes, Dolly Parton will appear to park guests at Dollywood as a hologram as the Ghost of Christmas Past during the “Dollywood’s A Christmas Carol” show which opens this Saturday, November 9th.
Parton’s Ghost of Christmas Past, Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Present and Future are life-sized holograms, marking the first time four actors appear via the cutting-edge technology in the same theatrical production. The show also features eight songs written by Dolly.
“When they told me they were going to make a hologram out of me, I thought they were crazy,” Parton said with a laugh. “But when I saw how real it looked on stage, I couldn’t believe it. I’m not sure this world can handle two Dolly Partons, but I’m excited folks will be able to see ‘the other Dolly’ reminding families that it’s not what you have but who you have, just like ole Scrooge figures out in the end.”

A little off-topic, but this kind of ride could work well for Thorpe Park, if they intend on bringing a few more families back to the park? It's not something that people after thrills would ignore but suitable for those who aren't into the white knuckle attractions, and it could easily support some kind of unique selling point, if required. Then again, a wooden coaster could tick that box too!

Surely this is actually just a bigger thirteen?
