Dollywood Discussion Thread

If you can make it during the week next week or the week after you may not see lines. This week was dead. I mean, most rides didn't have a queue this week. LR yesterday never showed anything but 0 wait. -

The museum is good stuff if you've never walked through. They have some things from when it was SDC and a lot of Dolly's items. Grammys, Emmys, etc all on display. Her popularity has been on an upswing. https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/artsandculture/arid-40186524.html https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/features/dolly-parton-netflix-heartstrings-9-5-jane-fonda-miley-cyrus-a9216661.html https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/10/19/the-united-states-of-dolly-parton https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/nov/26/why-dolly-parton-is-having-a-millennial-moment -

Come up and see us in East TN sometime. If it's not a Friday or Saturday, I've got free Bring A Friend passes. -

Two different attractions. There is a Dollywood museum. Completely separate is a reproduction of her childhood home. -

Didn't realize that. Thanks for the info. I've only had the standard "to the top, pause and drop" that I know of. There was zero line last couple hours today. Makes sense. -

Seemed Drop Line was running a different cycle today. It rotated as it went up. Then, near the top it stopped lifting and did a 360. Then, it slowly starts rising and drops immediately after 5 or 10 feet. Good stuff. -
Got something against Holiday World and their top tier coasters and water park?

Rumors of Dolly leaving the park have been making the rounds the last 6-12 months. I've heard it'll happen in the next few years. No idea when their current agreements end. I can't say with any certainly this is happening, but I first heard it last fall from a friend, and a couple times since then. I live in the area. Not sure how the market would react. That would be something to see. Social reaction would be wild. Wouldn't really bother me. I grew up with it being SDC. I wouldn't post this myself, but can't say I haven't heard these rumors from different friends in the area. -

Coaster power hours at SFGA sound awesome. I think I'd head that way regardless. But I do love some Hershey and Skyrush. -

The fact they have water dummies loaded up on the train this year seems to indicate they intend to open it. And probably sooner rather than later. No real hurry on their end, park is seeing good business. -
Are they really planning to put these in parks that have an actual frisbee/disc ride? This seems like a janky, half assed replica of one of those and it's an upcharge? No thanks, I'll just walk across and ride MaxxAir. The fun part about the sky coasters is that first half second where you fall before the slack hits. I would imagine these go places where these other rides don't exist? Branson/Dollywood parkway? Fun Spots? Smaller regional parks?

I like how they still pretend this was actually something folks needed to do. -

I suspect Carowinds opening weekend will be really busy. And they close a little earlier. Not a bad day for FL there at all. -

Cedar Fair: No more temp checks, all rides should be a full capacity, no facemasks outside or if under age 10. Sounding good Cedar Fair. Good work. -
How do they not realize faster food would mean more money for the park? It really should be a top priority and with internet ordering, more people can cook. I heard it was slightly better today food wise. It blows my mind I can enter my order on the mobile app in about a minute or two with customization, drink selection, discount applied, etc. It takes the kid at the registers 5+ minutes for each order. SF mobile ordering is actually pretty nice when it works and the workers pay attention.
