It is $40.99. To see that price you go to tickets, when it takes you to the ticket portal click on the drop down for daily tickets and select bring-a-friend. -

Heading to the park for my second visit on Sunday June 5th. Fingers crossed that it is not packed that day. I am considering a Cabana rental as well will have babies there (actual babies not people afraid of riding thing) but damn that price would jump by $80 that weekend. I can't wait to try out Thunderbird and hopefully get my first rides on the water coasters. -

I enjoyed keelboat canal way more than RFYLCB. I would be sad to see this go now though as my almost 3 year old loves it. -
Dollywood Discussion Thread

I hope so. I cant remember Dollywood ever assigning seating on even the busiest of days and I've never seen parks that don't assign seating every have major issues because of it. Now if only a certain 2 parks both 4 hours away from Dollywood would take a lesson and STOP ASSIGNING SEATS ON B&M HYPER AND GIGA COASTERS COUGH COUGH CAROWINDS AND SFOG COUGH COUGH!!! Disney assigns seats on every coaster and never has an issue with it.....I don't see what the big deal is. But you can usually request to wait for a certain seat, I do all the time when down there. I don't have an issue with assigning seats, either--especially if you can request a certain seat and don't mind waiting a few extra minutes for it. I should revise what I said as I agree that it doesn't bother me as long as I can choose to wait longer for my desired seat. -

My thought has always been if I have to wait in a long line for a ride that I may only get to ride once in a day or trip then I better be able to pick my seat. -

You picked a good day with the chilly temps and wind. Walk on for most things while we were there. -

Went to the park Friday and Sunday. Friday was packed because of education days we got there around 4. Longest we waited was for Beast at night front seat. ended up being about an hour total. We rode just about everything between 4-10:30. We even walked on Firehawk which I have never had that happen. Reds Hall of Fame Grille is by far the best place to eat in the park. Sunday was cold and windy no lines for anything we took our son to play in Planet Snoopy and ended up riding just about everything there within 2 hours. -

I think OSU day would be even more fun if the also had a Michigan day on the same day. -

Everyone should diss OSU. Anyway weren't the OSU people supposed to be out by a certain time before the pass holder preview started? -

I am curious why it took 20 minutes into the day and the Valravn line reaching the main midway for them to open the entire queue. They had to know that is where everyone was heading. It is not a big deal just seemed odd to me. -

I also have a question about the time savers. I have never used them at Dollywood and we will use them if we need to the day we go. There will be four adults. Only two will ride at a time while the other two take care of the kids that are too small to ride. Is it feasible to get the two person one and share it among the four of us as it will only be two at a time riding? -

I was pretty annoyed when I waited in line to ride this thing that did nothing. I did not grow up with the ride though and just saw it as a waste of time. -

Good job on the running. Exercise is just as important to brain health as it is your cardiovascular system. However, I would just switch to healthier food rather than cut portions. I've been consistently at 12-15% body fat throughout the entire winter and I have always eaten about twice as much as people far heavier than I am. I also still pig out for one or two meals a week where I get astonishing looks from people wondering where the hell I put it. Don't diet. Change your lifestyle. I've been eating 'mostly' paleo for several years and I no longer have digestive issues, acid reflux, random headaches, fatigue, and a slew of other daily annoyances I used to think were just a regular part of life. Stay away from normal USDA guidelines. Do you really want to follow something that is the culprit for making 2/3rd's of Americans overweight, with half of those individuals being considered morbidly obese? Let alone all of the new unexplained chronic illnesses. Don't just take 'gym bro' advice or listen to misinformation passed down from multiple people. Here are a few reads that I highly recommend: Practical Paleo (easy read and will point you in the right direction) Wheat Belly (easy read and will educate you on the dangers of our modern diets) Grain Brain (a more difficult read, but the most informative) Over 98% of all diets fail. Changing your lifestyle is what is important. Eat whole foods. Meat, vegetables, a small amount of fruit. Stay away from BREAD, dairy, and refined sugars. The better you eat Monday-Friday the less you have to give a crap when you go out to grab some food and beer on Saturday nights. Also research intermittent fasting (16/8) for a more natural way to eat that will melt fat off of you. Quoted for good, honest advice. Don't pay too much attention to any crap you see on tv. Look within yourself and you will know what you are doing wrong. There is no safe, quick fix to obesity as TV may suggest. Yeah I am not really following any kind of diet I just felt like i was eating way too much, which seems to be correct because I haven't really felt hungry after eating half portions of my meals. -

You could also try what I have been doing. Ive lost 15 pounds in a little more than a month. I still eat the same foods I always have (minus soda which is rare now) but I literally cut my meals in half. If they bring me a burger and fries i cut the burger in half and save it for later same with the fries. I have been running for about two months as well though and I am running 1-2 miles every other day. I don't crave anything because I am still eating the same foods. Here in a few weeks I am going to switch to a healthier diet now that I have portion under control and will indulge in whatever unhealthy foods once or twice a week. -

So wouldn't the people being overly positive be just as bad considering they haven't rode? There are some that have legitimately rode and are confirming the suspicious of the people you hare shaking your head at. so I smh at your smh -

I don't want to see the long flume go away as that is the biggest thing I am able to take my 2 1/2 year old on at the moment. He had his first ride yesterday. He looks pretty serious in the picture but he was giggling the whole time. I can't wait to take him on it again. -
