xericx Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 My friend and I arrived at Dollywood around 10:30, got our photos took for our season passes, and were in line for Mystery Mine by 11:20!After a short breakdown(15 minutes or so) we were on.I wont go into great detail, but as far as I could tell most/all of the effects were on, the theming was excellent with a couple surprises.The coaster itself, was fun..the first half is a little bit boring/a little rough around a couple turns.The last half on the other hand, is pretty good, vertical drop into heartline/immelmann is good stuff.However, i think the immelmann into the breaks/station is a pretty big let down, but there is quite a bit of hangtime before hand.Overall, with the theming I think Dollywood did a amazing job on this, the size of the building is massive.I suggest everyone checks it out asap. The day in general was good, no waits more than 15 minutes(other than the breakdown on MM).Most waits on MM were 10 minutes or less which ruled.Only downside was Tennessee Tornado was not operating today =( ride count: Mystery Mine:7 Thunderhead:4 Blazing Fury:4 Mountain Sidewinder:1 Timbertower:1 Dizzy Disc(i think thats the name):1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imhotep Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Should have kept yourself entertained during that boring section by snapping us a few pics So is the boring/rough turns part you speak of more of a dark ride part, or the coaster part between the two drops?

ComplexAudio99 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 ^I think he is saying between the two drops, after you come off the tressel. Yeah, I agree when I first saw the layout I was wondering if that would be the ending, after the loop thing. Then I realized it would be. It's kind of disappointing there isn't more after, especially with all that speed from the drop, but oh well. I hope to some day ride it, just for the incredible theming.

xericx Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 i meant to bring the camera, but ran out and forgot it.which is just as well, usually when i do remember it i get lazy and wont take pictures. the boring/rough part is after the first drop, on the tressel.one thing that i think made it not as fun is, there are about two block section in which it slows the ride down too much.its not rough as in, hey i dont want to ride that again, just a little jerky.theres also a very jerky part on the way to the first hill in the dark part. advice:MAKE SURE YOU GET THE FRONT SEATS, you honestly cant see anything from the back.in fact, i miss a pretty big surprise when i rode it the first time in the back, also the two seats on the right side seems the least rough.
