This is sad. They need to "LEAF" Dolly alone. http://www.local8now.com/content/news/Lawsuit-filed-against-Dollywood-over-fallen-tree-branch-374609241.html

Is the Dizzy Disc running yet??

Word on the street is on the video of lightninng Rod coming over the hill... The reason they didn't show the launch is PETE OWENS was pushing it up the hill. See picture for details.

Another busy Saturday at the park. Looks like everyone is taking advantage of the other coasters!

Sounds like Dollywood might be getting a little refund on part of the launch system. I am sure they would want it to work right and if they promised them it would and it don't might be seeing Dollywood and the sub contractors in court. Sounds like this could take a few months.

Dolly mentioned the park was packed yesterday. She said they planned on 7,000 people and over 17,000 folks showed up. That's the reason for the long lines yesterday at the pizza place and all over the park. They only had enough employees to really serve 7,000 not the 17,000 that showed up. WOW

Just a few more. Just a heads up the flowers and Bradford Pair Trees are blooming and you will need some Allergy medicine on hand if you suffer from that stuff.

Got a ton of awesome pictures on perfect day at Dollywood. I spoke with Pete and he said it's a day by day thing on testing. I asked why they weren't running the trains during the time as was there and he said they are working on some behind the scenes engineering stuff. Dolly will officially open the part Thursday with a media time at 10:30am and she will do a parade through the park at 4:30pm weather permitting. I asked if the coaster would be open then and he said its day to day. keep your eyes on the website for future details.

The park closes at 6:00 today. It doesn't seem very crowded at the moment and the lines aren't very long at all. Thanks. I think I will head on up!

What time does the park close today? Might head up to take a peak. Lines don't look to long. How is park attendance today?

They are working on a statement for this afternoon.

Lol. I believed too.

He is correct. Ride will not open this Friday from my intelligences . We all want to ride, but safety comes first and I appreciate dollywood and RMC making sure it's safe. I feel for those that have traveled long distances to come Friday. They have tried.

The news interview in Nashville today made it sound like it will be open this weekend!!!!? http://www.wsmv.com/clip/12283559/dollywoods-2016-season-31416
