coasterdave Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I decided to take a trip up to Dollywood since I knew Mystery Mine would be open. I am not going to give away any spoilers on the ride. It might take away from the ride if you knew what was inside, but there is light at the end of the Tunnel. All in all I think the park has a huge hit on their hands. The ride had a huge line when I left to head back to the house. I would say atleast 45 minutes and everyone knows that is a big line for the park. The ride ops where on the ball though. Enjoy! It's pretty bad-ass looking! (This picture was from a couple of months ago) What is a Dollywood Report without a pic of food. Seems like a great way to end this one. I really do not want to even know. Jarvis checking footage for his video of ride that he is doing. Close up of empty train. The Line for it. There is alot of Hang Time! Just had to add this to this report. Would not want to met any Wimmin that can shovel coal. Gives new meaning to passing gas. The Q and those that know me can see some of my handy work. The Detailed Mine Structure Back into the Mine for the .......not spoiling it! Nice Theming Exit first Vertical Lift Top of first Vertical Lift They look both thrilled and abit terrified. Down into the Backside Larger Overview of the Backside Small Overview of Backside Could be trouble for this train. Some Sideways Action The Tressel Wonder if it has Hang Time? Looks just to fun you say? Nothing like seeing a train on the track as I get closer to it. That is what they call it.
thrillrideseeker Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 OMG! I love the photos! Great job! ~Matthew
ginzo Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Thanks for the pics! Even if the ride turns out to be average, the theming is obviously incredible. Take that Florida park bigots!
ConleyKE Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 WOW It looks amazing! Simply stunning pictures! I can't wait untill I visit later this spring!
Hercules Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Great update! This looks like a lot of fun. I want to know the mystery so badly.
CaseyFish Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Great pics...thanks for showing us all the cool stuff......ESSPECiALLY THE FOOOD...OMG that looks so good! Casey"will I ever get to this park"Childers
ComplexAudio99 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Wow! The theming is incredible I can't wait to ride it! Thanks for the pics!
cfc Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Yep--time to go back to Dollywood. That themed Eurofighter looks pretty cool.
coasterCrAzY505 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 OMG I can't wait to ride this in July! The theming is amazing and the ride looks to be just as good. Dollywood really outdid themse;lves and following up Thunderhead is not the easiest thing to do. When I went last year all that was there was dirt and one footer....DW works really fast!
CaseyFish Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 ^^ Chuck forget the coaster let's go for the food...LOL
masterofthematrix91 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 whoot woot!!! kudos to you!!!!!!!! where's the POV?
CaseyFish Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Bring on the vittles...I may just have to go there before or after the midwest trip....and yes it will be for the food, and since I am tall, I would love to see Dolly, I would probably have the best of view.... Casey"I love being tall sometimes"Childers
bgwfreak Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Can't wait for the 13th. Thanks Dave for the report! Oh...and they're feeding us too.
jarmor Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 whoot woot!!! kudos to you!!!!!!!! where's the POV? Dammit dave now I am going to have to claim the title of being the first "blackZ" person to post pics of the completed operating mystery mine!
memphismass Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Wow, looks as great as I was hoping. Not too much longer until I can ride it myself. Thanks for not spoiling any of the dark sections I am very happy to hear that there is lots going on inside the mine. How were the vertical lifts? Were they intense? How fast are the lifts? I was looking at the picture of the tressel and noticed that there was a large wooden gate just past the tressel section at the end of the path . . . similar to when they were constructing MM . . . kinda makes you wonder, now doesn't it? Thanks again for the pictures, can't wait to see more and maybe even a video of the outside run.

DollyFanJoie Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 I'm glad you took a picture of the Cheesesteaks. That's where I work! I must've been on the register when you took this! Next time, come introduce yourself!!! JOIE
65skylark Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Dave, as always, great pictures. I'm hoping we can make it back there sometime soon. This ride really adds a lot to that section of the park. And Casey, the food there is awesome!
CaseyFish Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 ^Then if you guys say so....F the coasters...I NEED TO GO FOR THE FOOD....LOL....thanks Justin...yeah I have never been there...I may have to figure out how to get there..... Casey"Justin it's all your fault cause you said the food was good...you too Chuck.."Childers
nursemelis374 Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 That looks so cool! I am dying to go to Dollywood and this just made me want to even more! Thanks for posting so quickly!
dsngiem Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 I though "Emmissions" was spelled with one m (see image of "Department of Mines"). But that's negligible. Ride looks pretty awesome, but I won't be passing through the Mid-West anytime soon.
