TheRapidsNerd Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 That is most high off the ground, yet it does look like fun. Dunno, this might be the part where I opt for more Smokey Mountain Rampage ERT. Enjoying the updates and thanks as always for taking time to post them. Much appreciated.
usctrojansrock11 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 What about thunderhead?? you guys didn't do that??
moinab Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Even though I have a miserable fear of heights, I am fascinated with zip lines and really want to try one!
HerBlackWings Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ^^We opted out of Thunderhead...in favor of the topple tower and assorted shows.
disneymoc Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 It also helps that we were also featured on local news. LOL Theme Park Review on WDEF News, Chattanooga,TN I posted this earlier in the thread. I was the one that made the media contacts for you guys. Also, make sure you don't miss the video on the Times Free Press Web site.
ernierocker Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 What about thunderhead?? you guys didn't do that?? Did you miss the part in his update where Robb mentioned we had ERT on Thunderhead? Also, did you miss the part where Robb said he will have to do the Dollywood update in separate parts because he had so many pictures. Be patient, the group got many GREAT rides on Thunderhead and I am sure it will be featured in due time.
moinab Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ^Thank you for stating it better than I did. I deleted my pissy reply.
thrillerman1 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Love that never before seen view of Tennessee Tornado! Sky Zip looks really fun (always wanted one in my backyard). Thanks for sharing the pics Robb!
jcrouse Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 The Sky Zip was awesome! Even though I have a fear of heights - I'm so glad I did it - what an amazing experience.
robbalvey Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 What about thunderhead?? you guys didn't do that?? Patience please!!!! There will be more updates soon! If someone would be so kind to post Mogan's video. Thank you! --Robb
BigThunder Man Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 The Zipline was a blast. I was on the second group to go up but no one brought there camera with them so all we have is the pictures we purchased. Eli was not the only "Man Down" on the zipline. The last platform you zip to is very steep and I had to "slide into home" to make that one. If your over 6' tall (I'm 6'4") be prepaired for difficult landings.
ginzo Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 If someone would be so kind to post Mogan's video. Happily http://youtube.com/watch?v=7PiQ3tsT104
TheRealTinkerbell Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Oh the Morgan Video! That'll never get old! That Zipline looks freakin cool!
moinab Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Oh the Morgan Video! That'll never get old! Agreed! Although the continuing need for it certainly does. Too bad there isn't a way to automatically filter, like "fluffy fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo."
dammie16@vt.edu Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Did they let you take a camera on that zipline? It looks like a good reason to return to Dollywood, aside from the fact that I love TH and MM Chris "Hoping for awesome helmet POV on the DVD" Damm
generaleclectic Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I wish they had let us take a camera on the zipline with is. All we have is snapshots.
generaleclectic Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 The zipline was so cool! It takes place on a course with 3 platforms. Each line on each platform increases in length and speed. One gets a really good view of the park below. The thrill is like no other.
dammie16@vt.edu Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ^^Oh well At least there will be plenty of good photos added in TR's to the ones posted in this update to suffice for now
topthrill2 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 that video was great!!! unfortunetly im new to the fourm so can anyone give me the link or post the video of what he was talking about?
nay Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 The zipline was awesome! So glad that I got to experience that and would love to try it again someplace else one day. I went with the second group - Hope it's ok if I post our photo! TPR Zipline Group #2
jcrouse Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Renee, Thanks for posting the shot of Group #2 - I wish they would have let us bring a camera out there! Eli was not the only "Man Down" on the zipline. The last platform you zip to is very steep and I had to "slide into home" to make that one. If your over 6' tall (I'm 6'4") be prepaired for difficult landings. Leon, the memory of you busting your a$$ on the launch platform will happily stay with me forever - Sha-Kon-O-Hey!! Although, I did trip over my own feet at launch station #2 - so I'm no vision of grace either...
KnottsDisneyFarm Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Looks like Elissa is a pro now. If the Olympics had a zip-line event...
sfot11girl Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 awesome zip line! I haven't been in probably 6 years. I love the park though. Great details and lots of fun stuff to do. Food there ROCKS! If you are there you have to see one the shows though!
