kraken613 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Just got back from my first trip to Dollywood! Mystery Mine is amazing it so fun. I like all the little suprises in the mine! I was so sad because i got back every time they wouldn't let me get front. Rode it 4 times the shortest wait it got to my knowledge was like 10 minutes but it really moves. Maybe ill get front on Thursday when i go agin. I asked the op and he said it will be open the whole time up to Friday. This is a must do because it has so many unique feelings through out it. You have to look at the on-ride pictures so many are so classic. So go ride this thing but dont get to afraid if you see a canary.

kraken613 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 I would say about a minute and a half is that about right Jarmor? I say its to short it leaves you feeling thats all but still an amazing ride.
coasterdave Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 I would say around 2 minutes and 30 seconds if I was a betting man.
kraken613 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Yeah thats more like it it just seems so short.
jarmor Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 yeah dave has its about, well right period. I dont really time rides when im on them but you are on it for what seems longer than a minute!
jarmor Posted April 30, 2007 Author Posted April 30, 2007 Well figured didnt make sense to make another thread so here is some pics from this weekend showing **gasp** mystery mine at night! I have to say, the ride gets better and better. I was also excited to get some night rides on MM and folks, at night there is no light at the end of the tunnel but in the day time its another story! I was also on the quest to solve the mystery that black folks do go to the park and the mystery is finished! It was more black folks there than I have ever seen in all my combined days at the park! Anyway here are the pics! Lucky for me the song that is going to be on the led zeppelin coaster came on the radio! I must, from looking at the layout perfect song choice! Thats all folks...hummm...is it me but does it seem like there room for one more ride name heh heh... Gotta give the flowers some love also! Scary... Cool huh... Back side of the mine. Even CLOSER view of the sign and the moon! Closer view of the sign and the moon... Yeah...what would this tr be w/o a pic of me! ...in the misty, mystery mine... Signage... Approaching the mine The mystery is over...we now know what color the sign glows! Which is odd because all the advertisement is in green! The tall will ferrell looking guy in the middle paid like 150.00 for that mystery mine jacket... Dont whistle in the mystery mine for danger you may meet... The un secure themeing in the station Ha ha exclusive shot#4 Anyone who can guess what item that nail is at the park...email dan! The expression of the dude in the bottom left is priceless and the chick has given him the "enough already" arm fold lol! But he wouldnt shut up! Noticed the look on everyones' face...they are all like "dude, shut the f&@k up already!" For those of you who say the tressle isnt themed... I have NEVER seen this before...and it was quite common throughout the whole park! Exclusive shot #3 And their off... Exclusive shot #2 I must say...it was a wild ride! I have never been on this so I decided to give it a spin! Back to black...caught her sleeping! Exclusive shot! Lets see... uh ohh...whats wrong with TT? even working at the park! I dont wanna ever here someone say black folks dont go to dollywood, even if they were probably there for the special events held that day lol. And now a group... Whoo hoo a female... This one was pretty quick but I mananged to capture him! ...and another... First thing first...find the black folks!
dr.gumbo Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 ^^ Nice photos, Mystery mine looks good at night but I was hoping more (mayby I expect to much)
Tomizzle For Rizzle Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 OMG! Great PTR....lol at you finding the black folks AND a BIGGER BAAHAAAAAA to the photos of Matt yapping his cake hole...you forgot to add the annoying high pitched lisping that went with his voice. Great!!! (like James' BTW) ps he WAS my riding partner at SFOG GASM marathon....also.
ParkTrips Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 This one was pretty quick but I mananged to capture him! A black person... quick?!?! nice photos dude
BeemerBoy Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Nice pics, man. So how were those flume things. I've always wondered about 'em. Did you come off soaked, or what?
kennywood!007 Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Wow the mine looks great at night! Awesome pics Jamor!
xericx Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 These pictures make me ask once again, why oh why doesn't dollywood stay open till night?
bulldogmom Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Great night photography! MM looks really good at night.
rosscoe Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Great TR , Jarmor, MM looks great. Who ever posted the link to "youtube" thanks, at this stage it's the only way i am ever going to see this coaster.. Australia needs better parks/coasters!
jarmor Posted May 1, 2007 Author Posted May 1, 2007 Nice pics, man. So how were those flume things. I've always wondered about 'em. Did you come off soaked, or what? Dude...im sick right now for thinking that I wasnt gonna get wet and riding at around 6 pm would be a good idea...I was totally drenched and it was only 3 of us!! Def a very fun and different experience from what I have in the past. Highly recommend that attraction.
easytoremember Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Every time I see pictures of that park, I die a little bit inside. Luckily I will gain it all back this weekend. From someone who frequently visits, How will the crowds be this saturday? Any tips or shortcuts to get to the Mine quicker?
haiderodes Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Brilliant photo report! Ok, so you proved your point, I take back what I said about there not being any black people at Dollywood...even if they were there for a special event.
mlambert21 Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 One hint is to get there early if park says opening at 9am the gates open at 8:30. Go immediately to the Q2Q and get one it is worth the money on the weekends. And as soon as rides come up go ahead and put MM on it. But as to this weekend it will not be as crowded as last but still expecting a very large crowd. The festival is over so that should help out some. And cheap season passes are over also. Hope this helps.....
Tomizzle For Rizzle Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 BTW ^ that is Matt, the guy yapping in the Jarvis' photos...and my ride partner on GASM from back in the day. Thanks for helping with the event. One suggestion...free corn dogs with the next event:)
Tomizzle For Rizzle Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 wait, are we still talking about corn dogs? Dollywood has the best ones evah!
