ThrillRide! Special Features

You could also justify the cost of a round-trip transcontinental plane ticket for this ride alone. (Okay, that's a bit much, but you get my drift.)

Let me take my turn to say that this eagle sculpture totally pwns. Holy dang, it is huge. And if you can't feel even the slightest stirrings of patriotic pride looking at this wonder, then please consider moving to Pakistan, you America-hating dirtbag.

Bravo, Mr. Stone! (Kind of funny, he's a sculptor who works in metal, and his last name is Stone.)

Can you believe Benjamin Franklin really wanted the turkey to be the avian symbol for America? What a moron...

But seriously, Wild Eagle's station is, par for the course at Dollywood, incredibly handsome.
