Why do u think it's a coaster? Esp since it's going in an already prepped pad.

Whoops, early rumors appear to be for a Starflyer. I am an idiot.

Dollywood’s been clearing a LOT of land these past few days. I can only imagine this means a coaster of some sort in 2019.

[FamousAmos]

I'm kinda leaning more towards perhaps a Hyper coaster of sorts. They can definitely utilize the terrain to create a great Hyper coaster.

No coaster at dollywood has ever been as plain as a hyper coaster.

[MarcusDor]

A hyper coaster would be amazing. Those take up a lot of terrain though, don't they?

[FamousAmos]

They're clearing a massive amount of land.
Maybe they're also adding an entirely new section to the park? So maybe a small coaster (or a big one) plus a new section?
Could just be a parking lot

EDIT
Video showing the land clearing as of late December 2017

Could be a hotel. Or a new section. A new theater complex. Rerouting the train. Moving existing shop buildings.

But I predict it won’t be anything less than what Dollywood always dyes, which is continue to be spectacular .

Word on the street is that the park has been teasing it as the “largest expansion in their history”. This alone guarantees that it would be a new section, given the County Fair expansion in 2006

[Edwardo]

There’s no guarantee it’s a new section. A large B&M would be very expensive and still qualify ad their largest expansion.

Not saying it is or isn’t, but don’t put words in their mouths

Dive Coaster track showing up at Canada’s Wonderland. Why must this be built the year after my first visit

Looks like they disassembled Valravn and sent it to Canada’s Wonderland, the complaining worked!

[gabed]

Low key loved Valravn.

[Edwardo]

What makes you think it’s a Dive Coaster? ;-P

[tarheel1231]

The thicc spine is pretty telling, though keep in mind that Arrow suspended coasters have very thin track pieces.
