Here is Dollywoods 2018 Announcement

Ride questions such as? I’ve got a couple of ride articles coming, due to the confidentiality agreement I can’t share the titles are anything about them till they come out. If you have any ride questions you want answered I can always ask and see if I can do an article on it.

Now, my neighbors need to stop complaining when I start installing lights on my house in September! Thank you so much. It was really cool to see the behind the scenes work that goes on to make it happen. I got some more articles to come and I hope to answer more ride questions in some of them.

Also if you want the inside scoop on how they get ready for Christmas and what’s it going to be like this year checkout my 1st Dollywood Insider Post. https://insiders.dollywood.com/from-harvest-to-holly-jolly-a-dollywood-festival-transformation/

I have been selected by Dollywood to be a Dollywood Insider. I would love some article ideas of things you would like some inside info about.

My source was right.

During the eclipse today Dollywood will TC all of the outdoor rides due to safety concerns. Anyone have a report on what other parks are doing?

Last year the ride announcement didn’t come till October 28th. So still time, to announce something to get season passes kicked off for next year. The Facebook post must have been by an employee not in the know. Lol

You make a good point about Daredevil falls celebrating it 20th Anniversary and that means it been 20 years since flooded mine closed. Could we see a new flooded mine next year? I have no knowledge of what the new ride will be but they have mentioned the Flooded mine on Facebook this year as a flashback Friday and the mine near the train says it all started here. Hummmmm. We will find out tomorrow. Can’t wait!!!!!

Just a update on the rumor about a ride closing soon came from a worker at Dollywoods Facebook page and after I asked if this was public knowledge yet he deleted the post. So not sure what to think, but we should all find out tomorrow. Dollywood is a great park and I think the charm is still there. The park is set in a beautiful setting and most of the employees are very friendly. When you invest 300 million in a park prices are going to rise and price some folks out. The new resort and big ticket rides will take a little time to get new folks planning vacations around Dollywood. Lightning Rod running regularly will help and I’m sure it will soon enough. One more hint about tomorrow the ride that’s rumored to be closing soon is on the the wait times app.

I have heard the name of the ride closing, but with Dollywood having a PR event Friday I won’t give it away. Don’t worry about any of the ones you mentioned. They are staying.

Rumor has it a ride will be closed for the last time before long to make way for something NEW!

Seems what ever it might be it won’t be a huge project or ride for 2018. With the low attendance and the amount they are spending at SDC I see a little investment for Dollywood for 2018 like a show.

It’s makes me want to go when it’s like this.

You can tell when school goes back in session around East Tennessee. This is the wait times right now!

Did they run 2 trains today. Noticed the line time was down today,

You worked your magic because it opened a few mins ago. We waited out front while they tested for over an hour and then were on the 3rd train row 7! WOW!!!! The overbanks are insane with airtime that defies understanding and the quad down is glorious. Got the Time Saver unlimited now so we can basically marathon it (and Mystery Mine lol which we loved) all day. Glad to hear luck was on your side today. Looking forward to a review. I hope you get a night ride this evening.

Another beautiful Sunday at Dollywood and all rides are open for business. Mid 80’s for highs today and mostly sunny skies. Going up this afternoon to enjoy a beautiful evening in the park.

Wait. Did I read that correctly? The op came over to see if he could get it to lock, and he could, and then unlocked it and made you do it, and when you couldn't (because you don't work there and don't know as much about the ride as he does) you were told you couldn't ride??? That's TERRIBLE if that is actually what happened and totally inexcusable. I've been on all the RMC's now except Joker and I've never seen anything like this. I have also seen them do the lock and then unlock thing before. Must be something RMC is requireing on these new trains that Dollywood got. Dollywood got the new restraint system. Here is what RMC says about them. The new cylinders feature 30 percent lower seal drag, meaning less force is required by park employees and guests to raise and lower RMC’s lap bar restraints. Each lap bar is fitted with two cylinders in the event that one of the cylinders fails.

Athe state of Tennessee has now band the ride from the whole state. http://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/2017/07/27/owners-ride-left-one-dead-ohio-fair-provide-rides-wilson-county-fair/516526001/

They have a awesome kennel at Dollywood called Doggywood that I highly recommend. Also you can go see your dog as many times throughout the day as you want. http://www.dollywood.com/themepark/Guest-Services/Doggywood

ALL NEW FOR 2018 A consistently working Lightning Rod Might be new for 2018 Lightning Rod the RMC Lawsuit.
