Any local experts care to lend your thoughts on potential on queue times for New Texas Giant and Mr Freeze during the afternoon/evening on Saturday, April 16? I have a ~20 hour layover and wondering how much of a hassle it might be to get in a few rides that afternoon. Flash pass looks cost prohibitive for me unfortunately.

Hi all - decades-long lurker, new member here. I’m having my bachelor party in Pigeon Forge, and we want to spend a day in Dollywood. Hoping you well-versed folks might be able to help me make decisions that help us maximize the day! I’ve been once before, about five years ago. (Yes, normally my best man would be doing the legwork here, but I’m the enthusiast and refuse to cede control for this portion of the trip!) Our best option for visiting the park is Saturday, April 2. The Friday and Sunday are also possible, but would be less convenient. My main goals are rerides on Lightning Rod and Drop Line (as many as possible), and at least one ride on the other major coasters. 1. How finicky has LR been lately? Just need to know how much to temper my expectations. 2. How much longer do lines tend to be on Saturdays vs Fridays and Sundays? 3. How long are weekend waits (even if it’s a range) for LR and Drop Line if you do have Timesaver Unlimited? I read coasterbill’s recent post that Timesaver Unlimited is priced well. It is within our budget, so I plan to get it before we enter the park if it’s almost certainly going to be crowded. Just want to get a sense of how much we might be able to fit in the day, or even if we'd want another half-day. 4. Does the park app show wait times when you’re in the park? I have the app now, but it doesn’t give me current wait times sitting at home. 5. Is the Dollywood Photo Card defunct because of staffing or something? I can’t find anything current about it on the website…all the info I found seems a few years old. Appreciate your thoughts on these questions, or anything else you think it’d be useful for me to know!
