About Wild Eagle
Wild Eagle at Dollywood is a Bolliger and Mabillard wing coaster opened in 2012, the first wing coaster built in the United States. Riders sit on either side of the track rather than above or below it, providing unobstructed views. Layout features four inversions, a 21-storey first drop and top speed 61 mph. Ride duration about 2 minutes.
Wild Eagle is the highest-elevation coaster at Dollywood and the panoramic views from the lift hill are some of the best in the Smoky Mountains. Queues run 30-60 minutes on busy days. The outermost seats deliver the strongest sense of unsupported flight through the inversions.
Wild Eagle has averaged about 23 minutes of wait over recent weeks, and is typically busiest around 3pm and quietest around 10am. Over the last two weeks it has been open around 91% of the park's operating hours. It's typically quietest on Tuesdays and busiest on Fridays.
