I'm going to volcano bay this Saturday, any advice for which slides to go to first (or put on the tapu tapu)?
Do Honu and The Aqua Coaster first

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.

Holy crap, I rode LR at night tonight and it was amazing, so dark in some parts you could barerly see the row in front of you.
-
Hot damn! Is anyone there today to confirm it's actually working as it should?
Yep, I just rode it and I am about to ride it again.

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

You are probably right about it opening tomorrow, the whole park is closed for weather currently anyways.

In Orlando this land will include 6 or more rides. Possibly 3-E tickets, Mario Kart will be almost all physical sets and quite possibly bigger then forbidden journey and gringotts.
-
Rumor has it this will be mostly Physical Sets, so I think we are in luck here.
Also heard rumors of using something like hololens to simulate cars and other things around you, don't know if this rumor will hold up though.

Comet II, I've ridden RC-48 or whatever and I can confirm, it is horrible.

We're at the park now. I just wanted to jump on real quick and mention that the people who are acting like Thunderhead is running rough this year are complete pussies.
Also, Mystery Mine is still awesome and Lightning Rod is still a train wreck dumpster fire. Maintenance is literally standing on the track shrugging their shoulders every 5 seconds and most likely questioning their life choices.
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.

I really hope this is turning into an RMC, would love to have one at my home park!

Found this gem on a gaming website.

It's still not open, but it is testing
-
Lightning rod is running
-
Not sure though, their is a train in the station. Workers in station too.
-
Lightning Rod will not be opening today
-
Wait, so will it ever open tomorrow or not?
-
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.
-
Park is very busy today, Falcons fury and Sheikra are closed.
-
Looks like we have animatronic drivers!

The new ride will probably be a dynamic attractions SFX coaster. Should be exciting, it will also be universals most highly themed coaster according to the announcement.
