What is this all about????
No idea, haven't heard about this anywhere else... Also I don't think they would suddenly close it like that, but who knows..
-
Every coaster gets rough eventually, I remember Thunderhead being as rough as it is now about 3 years ago, it hasn't really changed... Even if it has changed a little you have to see the fact that it is a wooden coaster, which have a reputation of getting rough after awhile.

I am at Dollywood today, they have been working on taking a train off the track all day. I would think this is a step in the wrong direction but we do not know anything so who knows. Was still something really cool to watch.
So is it a problem with the trains?
-
Have they even tested with water dummies yet?
Yes.
Should we tell him?

I've been looking around to read comments from the GP about the coaster being closed and the reaction, not very happy. Some are getting told March 24th some are getting told April 8th (Thrills in The Hills). One woman even called concerning vacation plans and wondered if it would be opened by July and the parks response was that they did not know. I have faith in Dollywood but I don't want Lightning Rod to lose its shine and place in the spotlight, due to a majority of their guest peak (May-early August) not getting to ride.
Honestly, I don't think the problems are that bad and this will open in around the next 2 weeks? Maybe even this Thursday if were lucky... I just really want to ride it!

I also have these from Adventure Mountain at Dollywood
Black Bear Cliff Course
Geyser Gorge Course

I was surfing youtube this morning and ran across a video of whats left of the nick studios at universal florida. It looks as if they just got up and left the building as is.
You're aware they turned half of it into the Blue Man theatre, yeah? Also holy crap that guy is horrible at editing and narrating, not to mention breaking a few laws.
Nah, Adamthewoo is amazing

Yes, buzz is getting some refurbishment. I remember when he used to actually talk and interact with the kids.
Oh I remember that too, around when Mystery Mine first opened.
-
Tuesday when I was at Dollywood the Audio-Animatronic Crow that sits near the Mystery Mine entrance was gone, probably in for refurbishment. RIP Bird Thing 2015
-
Probably either Magic Kingdom or Carowinds.
-
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has a pretty cool skyline
-
14, first coaster had to be either Barnstormer or The Flying Unicorn. My first non-kiddie coaster was Mystery Mine.
-
TOT and Gringotts amazes me. Also forbidden journey amazes me a lot too.

Mystery Mine - 5-10 Times (The same time as thunderhead, still a really long time ago.)

Reading that apparently Universal wanted to use this land. Could explain why they are going against it I guess...

Hope this gets built, come on Universal stop doing this!

Apparently it's supposed to reopen October 10th now, don't get why they would close it now with the summer coming up though. Hoping this refurbishment makes this ride make a lot more sense and make it better, also I think they should add some water effects in the beginning with the village(Don't know if they already had them and just turned them off because it looks like they could've)
