Guy T. Koepp Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Anybody heard any word on LR? Newest word on LR... #ItllNeverOpen QFT! It's as if I coined the phrase. #ItllNeverOpen
deathfearsnone Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Well my buddy that does the dreams to screams videos just rode lightning rod today!!!
Philrad71 Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 ^ That is clearly Photoshopped, because you know.....#ItllNeverOpen
Benmeins Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Well my buddy that does the dreams to screams videos just rode lightning rod today!!! OMG give more details! how was the elements, was it intense? and how was the airtime?
Nrthwnd Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 The two guys behind him don't exactly look too excited, either. Just noticing...
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Yeah, that guy behind him is definitely in one of those, "Hi, RMC, Dollywood here. Yeeaaaah... ...still not working." conversations. #ItllNeverOpen
Dollywoodlover20 Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Well let's see, the other two guys are probably just in general tired of working on the thing. Fred Grubb is losing money each day this coaster isn't in operation, and plus they're probably thinking "Theres a guy taking a selfie in, what should I do?"
Nrthwnd Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Ohhhhhh I didn't notice before, but there's a third somebody, over there on the right, sitting down. This is getting EX - CI - TING! (He looks bored, too.)
mordecai-75 Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 If that dude can ride it, then it should be open to everyone. GP's lives are no more precious then his.
Nrthwnd Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 He's an AA.* Simple. *(Audio-Animatronic for those who do not know...)
Dollywoodlover20 Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 In all seriousness though, if they let Devin Olson on there to produce the last part of the documentary (which will also include riders riding it) what should they need 3 more weeks for? (Just throwing numbers around there with the week estimate deal) I think it will open very soon I'm just saying I don't think it needs to be delayed another 3 weeks if film crews are running around the track on it.
knaiwear Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 There are a whole lot of things that can be wrong with a ride but still allow the occasional rider or film crew. What if they can only one one train every 10 minutes or something due to mechanical or electric overload? The ride is technically safe for passengers but maybe it's just not ready for prime time and public operation...
Bobby2889 Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 There are a whole lot of things that can be wrong with a ride but still allow the occasional rider or film crew. What if they can only one one train every 10 minutes or something due to mechanical or electric overload? The ride is technically safe for passengers but maybe it's just not ready for prime time and public operation... They were cycling a train about every 5 mins yesterday from about 3-5. I'm no professional, but it looked like each launch was taken with different speeds. So either the launch isn't performing consistently, which has been rumored, or they are testing for rollback scenarios. Either way the coaster looks fantastic the launch speed looks slow in video, but when you are standing there watching it speed up that 200+ lift it looks fast. BTW has anyone paid attention to what they say on "Dollywood Radio" in Jukebox Junction? The radio personality says something like "check out Lightning Rod the newest creation....testing today...drop by and watch..." Obviously paraphrasing but i was just wondering if that has been a part of the playlist since the park opened or if it's been added since testing has began. I didn't pay attention on earlier visits.
DoinItForTheFame Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Any Updates on when it will open? So excited! I guess you missed the memo. . . #ItllNeverOpen
WildEagle2014 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Hey Guy.... So this past weekend, when I saw Dolly the first time, I told her that you no longer believed that LR would open. I told her that you had lost all faith in her (and humanity for LR) and I asked her what message I could take back to you from her. Here was her response for you! Dolly sticking tongue out at Guy from TPR.
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Much like my faith in Dolly, I don't believe! #ItllNeverOpen
WildEagle2014 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 It's okay Guy. Saturday at the parade in the park, I asked Dolly if she was still a fan of yours even though you lost your faith in her and she gave you 2 big thumbs up! Guess she still likes you after all!
Djwadeknox Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Insider sources aka the dippin dots guys said this picture was taken at the moment she was told that guy had lost faith. Little known fact about dolly. She enjoys letting roller coaster folks down.
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 ^^So glad to hear that. It is a nice start to healing my broken heart. But she has some mountains to climb before I will be a believer again. I feel like I have been her red headed stepchild that she hid under the stairs. Only to see the light of day when she would take me out to parade in front of the masses. All the other children would tease and taunt me. Call me a Ginger. Say that I was devil spawn. But still I looked up to her, through my rainbow colored glasses. I have taken the glasses off and am experiencing the world for what it truly is these days. Complete and utter blackness, pain and despair. Please Dolly! I beg of you. I'm not ready to be re-embraced by the light. Give me time to experience the darkness. Only then can I heal. And when I'm ready, I will ask for forgiveness. I only pray that you will have the patience to wait for me. I had a dream the other night that you looked upon me with childlike wonderment again, you took me as I was, a new and complete human being. And I slept in the warm embrace of your arms. STOP! See, It's already happening! I feel the conflict! I'm not ready! Shield me darkness! Shield meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! THANK YOU. #ItllNeverOpen
WildEagle2014 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Dolly says with all that talk, she put her glasses back on, because the rainbow is much prettier!
