BigBad Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Dollywood's website has a picture of Wild Eagle in their list of rides. Now, of course it does, but the picture is listed as Lightning Rod (and then reappears as Wild Eagle). That's right, they didn't post a proper Rod shot.

dstephe9 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just got off! Was on the first tech rehearsal train out! The ride is stunning! Very cool! I'm going to the park in a few hours for the very first time and will be there tomorrow and Wednesday. Did someone approach you by the ride and give you that Lightning Rod pass? So this was asked several pages back but probably lost due to all the hash tags.. like this user asked, are they asking guest to ride? Is it open with a long line? Do you request to ride? For those that rode it, how did you get on it. I'm sure several of us would like to know Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk So they have a representive around to the right side of the main entrance. (The time saver line I believe)They had an A frame sign talking about the tech rehearsals, and the rep had a stack of cards, prob 1 trains worth, and people were in a unofficial line, so he distributed them. They opened the chain, we got the cards taken from us in the station, and got one lap. Sweet now I know what to look for if I can make it there one evening this week Of course I won't be upset if it isn't running when I am there.. I love just visiting for dinner anyways.. Thanks for the tip! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wily J Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I have enjoyed all the banter that #itllneveropen has provided......guess I'm in the minority as most posts are complaining about it! Oh well..... I had fun with it, but in retrospect I wish I had never participated. I had no idea how it was ruining so many lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadster Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 This is really a PR nightmare for Dollywood and Rocky Mountain Construction... This has been pegged the unofficial best new roller coaster for 2016 and currently Dollywood looks awful b/c it is not open yet and they had a media day with nothing for the media to ride. They can save face if it is open by Memorial Day b/c that is the unofficial start of summer...This may be the first ,only and last launched wooden roller coaster. It really is not even worth the trouble IMO. Yes a launch is always pretty cool but the launch is essentially just a high tech lift hill. I called it! I also stand by my opinion from early April! I'm still not sure what exactly it is that you 'called'. Big freaking deal it didn't open by the target date. Shit happens. Lessons will be learned, RMC will continue to flourish and innovate.

EDIT: Turns out it is, that video is probably taken from an iphone. speaking of which you should get an android.

Guy T. Koepp Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 #ithasalreadysoftopened Also... I think it's about time we lynch Guy T. Koepp for instigating this riot It's OK Pontius Pilate, I mean PixelRush. Jesus was persecuted too. And he saved mankind. I embrace all the naysayers. And I gladly absorb all your hatred and malice. It helps feed the cold dark truth about the world around us all. The great veil that we all live in. I regret nothing, except that I was not able to shed a tear for the children. The children. We must always think of the children. For they are the innocent ones. Blind to the ever presence of dark and light. I weep for them now as mine time draws to a close. I close my eyes as the battle rages on. A battle between Heaven and Hell, of space and time. I will fight on, like a Valkyrie guarding the gates of Tartarus to not loose the Titans. I will fight on, even as the ones I fight for spit upon mine eyes and try to clip my wings. I will fight the good fight! Even for you PixelRush. Even for you. But mostly for the children. Cause' ya know, kids. #Itllneveropen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farley Flavors Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Currently in the middle of a two-week USA coaster tour and I definitely chose the right day to go to Dollywood! We told the guy in charge that we were visiting from Scotland and probably wouldn't be able to return for at least a couple of years (which is true) and he very kindly allowed us into the station without tickets. The ride operator then let us queue for the front row. The ride's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
