My Dollywood Trip! 5/27/07

I went to Dollywood yesterday knowing crowds would be pretty bad. They weren't horrible but not to enjoyable. We first went to Timber Canyon. Some of my group decided to ride Timber Tower i didn't because i'm not big on spinning and i didn't want to get wet. While they waited the rest of our group went to Thunderhead. The line was about 20-25 minutes. We got two rides on Thunderhead while they rode Timber Tower once. We went to see how long Mystery Mines wait was. It was 3 hours! No way is Mystery Mine worth that! Then we headed down toward the rest of the park.

 

We had some little kids in our group so we rode some rides in Country Fair. After that it was getting hot outside so we went to the 50's show. We were all hungery so we at the BBQ place in Craftmens Valley. After we at we went and rode Blazing Fury. That rides always fun. We rode it twice since the line went down. I went and rode Tennessee Tornado. It was running ok alittle bumpy like always. After that we went back to Timber Canyon.

 

Once we got there i rode Thunderhead 5 times with a 15 minute wait. I was sad i didn't get my 100th ride. So close only 7 more times but i have season passes so ill go back in the middle of the week sometime when its dead.Then we went back to Mystery Mine because nobody in my group had ridden it. by about 6:30 it was 45 minutes so we waited. Tis getting a little bumpy on the outside turns. Thats not good for a month and a half old coaster! Lets hope it doesn't get worse! They have added stuff to it since opening. I was talking to an ride op and he said they're planning to add stuff and take away things and replace theming so theirs something new to notice each time. I thought that was pretty cool.

 

I had a good time just a little to crowded but not umbearable.

Dollywood is a great park. Very scenic and fun for the whole family. Sure it isn't coaster packed like Cedar Point, but I took my family there 2 summers ago and we had a great time.
