No they were two separate concepts. The whole ice house thrill/family coasters was one concept then there was a vertical drop mine themed coaster mentioned which we see now known as Mystery Mine. I beleive they were both on the same survey somewhere around 2003 - 2004 or so.

How do you sign up for the surveys?

You sign up for the newsletters on Dollywood and/or Dollywood's Splash Country's website. Should sign up for both because they are separate email lists I think. As far as getting the surveys I'm not sure how that is picked. From the ones that Screamscape has reported as being out and compared to what I have known of people getting them not everyone will get the survey. It is either random or some type of demographic thing I guess, really not sure how they pick who gets them and who doesn't.

I remember one year (2001) my family actually participated in a survey at the park. We were in Dreamland Forest the year it opened and a host asked us questions about three concepts for the country Fair area remodeling. And beleive it or not from what I remember what is now the Country Fair was not a concept itself. What we see now as the Country Fair is a mixture and at least one idea ride that was presented as an idea for the Country Fair ended up somewhere else on park.

It should be noted that just because rides are not neccessarily on surveys, they won't come to fruition...

Thunderhead was never on a survey- that I remember.

^That was the ride I hinted at in the previous post, I think. One concept the host showed us for the Country Fair actually included a wooden coaster with smaller family rides around it. In my opinoin some of the Country Fair rides were the smaller family rides and Timber Canyon (Thunderhead Gap 04-05 when introduced) received the wooden coaster.

I think that if we ever get a B&M No one will see it coming....

You know I saw on another site that rumor has it that B&M will be making an announcement about a new coaster type/style at or before IAAPA on November 18th -21st, so maybe this is what Dollywood will be getting.

When guests enter the park, there are marketing people there with clipboards, and they take names and emails. That's how I got on the list.

Yep. Found out this morning. But I think it is a good move on Dollywoods part.

Maybe if 2009 does good we can get 2 attractions for 2010?? lol

Haha, now that would be pretty awesome!

Crap............

ummm i doubt 2010 will be A.M......because if you think about it......if B&M possibly have dollywood for 2010 then A.M will be in 2011. I sure hope A.M aint in 2010....im wanting something BIG. And B&M's....are...well....BIG. lol

And too....they didnt say how long A.M would be delayed.
