^ Sometimes people with cell phones, such as me, wishes that life were still that simple for them. Also I have an LG G6 with a crack in it that looks like a bullet hole, so I've been looking at a new Samsung for a while. Sorry for a low quality photo, but you can see where the break is.

^ Holy hell that poster made my heart skip a beat. Can't wait to see the final project!

Double post... but DEAR GOD! This thing looks GREAT! I'll leave it to you guys to post all the photos and information. Also, any word on Tigris's opening day?

Whatever it is, I'm excited as hell! Anyone know is Busch Gardens is livestreaming this sort of event?

Fun read! Thanks for sharing some of the things I have to look forward to later this month

^ I think Temple of Doom right up there with the Last Crusade and Raiders of the Lost Ark, but to each his own.

^ Exactly. Dollywood basically got a bulk expansion of E-ticket / thrilling rides from 2011-2017, and Wildwood Grove is not only a new large area, but their largest expansion ever. That means Dollywood didn't just add it as filler. After Drop Line, Lightning Rod, FireChaser Express and Wild Eagle, it's good they're spending their annual new attraction money on something to appeal to everyone. 2021 sounds like a great year to return to the park! By then, I assume lots of other new attractions just on the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg strip will be there (as shown by the last 5 years) and with a new Hyper (as it's sounding), that'll make that area one of the top in the country, especially for thrill seekers!

Intamin invented the element with Thirteen, Zierer adapted it for rides like Verbolten and Polar X-plorer

To make it worse, Kings Dominion scraps everything, including the mountain! RMC woodies have become rougher than some Dinn and RCCA creations.

This is awesome!!! And the Hopi Hari 10 looper is going to Malaysia, so it would be a brand new ride assuming this is true.

I probably should've prefaced this, but yeah, I'm not only there to credit whore. I enjoy dark rides as much as everyone else, getting the credits is only a part of it. So while it's good that Primeval Whirl is never that crowded, I'm excited to ride everything else. And for the Fastpasses, Tower of Terror is from 5:55 to 6:55 PM and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is from 6:45 to 7:45 PM (the time slots)

Lightning Rod - Dollywood My ride in the back row - March 27, 2017!

Double post, but I found out that for pre-park reservations, it's three fast passes per day. I haven't had any say in the matter unfortunately, but the group leader has chosen Everest, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror for the three reservations (they don't want to ride Navi, sadly ) Then the rest will be reserved at the park itself.

It is not wrong that you prefer Viper. I think it's a great old Arrow with the intense transitions of a classic Schwarzkopf, even though it can be a little rough at times (I found it very smooth in the front seat) But great trip report as always!

^ It would be even better if they just had their 800-foot Demon Drop clone go right in the middle of Top Thrill Dragster (meaning inline with the top hat). Intamin fans would rejoice forever

I haven't officially reserved the lines yet, but how long do the lines for Primeval Whirl usually get standby? Edit - I think that just to benefit the rest of the group, Kilimanjaro Safaris would be the smart option. I'm trying to get to 200 on Outlaw Run, and without it, after my Branson trip, I'd be at 199. So as much as it might not be a great ride, it'll pay off in the end.

Okay everyone, the Fastpasses went up today for Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. At Animal Kingdom, the three rides I'm choosing are Navi River Journey, Expedition Everest and Primeval Whirl (I'm a credit whore) At Hollywood Studios, I'm already going to choose Rock n Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror, but what should that third ride be? Slinky Dog Dash and Flight of Passage have already been sold out.

That's a lot of floater airtime! I'm excited to see how many people call this their new favorite coaster at the park (if many people at all do - I know Storm Chaser will probably always be #1 to me)

Family Flyer or Kiddy Coaster at Rye Playland?

^ Are phones and that kind of thing allowed in line for Escape from Gringotts?

Kiddie Coaster at Lake Compounce?

The Tower of London was the first official attraction I did when visiting London, I agree it's an amazing experience. Even if you only go to England for coasters, enthusiasts need to visit that place.

That might be one of my new favorite color schemes on a coaster! What a vibrant mix - it really fits in and I love it. The new track on Thunderhead looks great too. I LOVED the ride when I visited in March 2017, glad to see it's in good hands.

^ At least they did say they hope on comes soon, but that could mean anytime between 3 and 15 years.
