I've ridden the slowed down version, the launch is still as fast as it is usually but there is trims at the end of it. The ride is still super intense though, so don't think it's going to be a horrible ride now. -

Alright, I watched a POV from when it opened and I could definitely see it was way faster at the top of the launch then it was today. The launch still was full speed today but near the top trims kicked in and slowed it down. I don't think this change is temporary. -

Is it in technical rehearsal or is it just staff? Technically it's not been officially closed if you go by the sign out front and the statement on their site.. This has been posted on the site and out front of the park for a few weeks now.. they aren't calling it technical ride rehearsal though and haven't been.. but other than listing it for weeks as CD in the parks app, the park never officially closed the ride so they could open it to guest at anytime I'd imagine With this being said, I doubt they will open it today with the app saying CD.. they very well could open it tomorrow though. IMPORTANT NOTE: As Lightning Rod’s manufacturer, Rocky Mountain Construction, is working to improve the operational consistency of the ride and elevate its performance to Dollywood’s high standards, Lightning Rod’s running schedule will be irregular and subject to periodic closures. We apologize for any disappointment and inconvenience. Please enjoy Dollywood’s newest thrill, Drop Line or one of our other family attractions Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk You are probably right about it opening tomorrow, the whole park is closed for weather currently anyways. -

Lightning rod was testing two trains with a large group of people. Expect it to open by later today or tomorrow. -

Yep, rode Thunderhead yesterday, such an amazing coaster. Also it may of not been the launch before, but I'm almost certain the problem with lightning rod now is the launch. -

Tie between Popeyes and Dudley do-rights for me, both excellent rides where you actually get wet. -

Even though that alligator thing is probably not even finished yet, I just thought this was funny.
