Update: Bobsled was indeed open last Saturday. Got to the park around 2 and it opened right as we got to the sign. Waited about 15 minutes until they called for a group of 2. It's a fun little ride, but pretty short; I prefer it to flying turns. As we left the station the line had grown extremely long, probably about 2 hours or so! I'm glad I got on it but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it's removed in the next few years.

Dollywood Discussion Thread
matthew.sullivan1 replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What will the crowds be like on Good Friday (April 19th)? It’ll be my first time at the park. I’m staying at dreammore so we’ll have complimentary timesaver passes regardless but I really hope it won’t be packed. I’m also crossing my finger at that Wildwood Grove will be open, I heard someone say mid-late April so we’ll see what happens. -
I live in Connecticut. I have no large travel plans set in stone yet but a few ideas are being tossed around. Definitely: Lake Compounce Quassy SFNE GAdv Rye Playland American Dream Probably: SFGAm SFA Funtown Splashtown Story Land Santa's Village Possibly: KD and BGW WDW Dollywood SFMM and Disneyland

Photo TR: TPR USA Trip 2018

After reading this TR, it occurred to me that you and Alex were on the train before me for a back row ride of Lightning Racer (pretty sure it was the lightning side). I saw your pink wristbands and realized that TPR was there that day Great report! -

Went to the park for the first time this year yesterday. Toro leaped from my number 4 spot to my number 1 in my rankings. It was absolutely hauling! I rode it 20 times, with 18 of those in a single hour. Nitro was hauling as well. Cyborg was... well... interesting. It's probably the strangest flat I've ever done. Hopefully I'll be back for Holiday in the Park.

Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
matthew.sullivan1 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I went to the park for the first time Monday and Tuesday and I was blown away. Skyrush is a top 3 coaster for me, the other Intamins are fantastic, and the park is very clean and looks gorgeous. I will definitely be back in the future! -
