^All this sort of makes me nervous for what's to come when the resort opens and every guest is armed with a Qbot/timesaver. eeek.

 

Speaking of the resort, Not sure if anyone saw this, but DreamMore is taking reservations for late July now.

dreammore July 27th booking dates

That's exactly my point.. Its something I feel Dollywood needs to seriously look into a little more.. While I was frustrated the day ended up being a great day BUT capacity is already an issue.. Even though it was a busy weekend it was an issue..

 

The issue will just get worse when the resort opens (although they won't be using parking) the park will still be busier!

 

But I do see another issue.. On a busy day what will they do with the people who paid for preferred parking if they have to use that lot as overflow? Refund all them? Hope they don't notice they opened the lot to everyone? Only refund them if they complain? I can see that opening up a bunch of other issues! Haha..

 

Either way I have no idea how they will fix it but I'm sure Dollywood will figure something out haha.

In the past they have used Splash Country (when its closed) parking as overflow...is that not the case anymore? Or, at least at Xmas time this has been the case. If they did that then they could still use the new "preferred parking" as just that, and the overflow goes to SC.

[dstephe9]

They had no overflow sat but yes you are correct, I have parked at splash country before during Christmas

 

Which works fairly well IMO

[dollywoodguy75]

Ugh parking boring bring on the coasters!!!

Haha I don't think they'd do a coaster and a drop tower. They'd do a drop tower or another type of flat ride for a separate year after the coaster. It's common park knowledge. Plus, where are your sources?

[dollywoodguy75]

It's just local rumors out of pigeon forge Tennessee

[dstephe9]

I still firmly believe that there will be a drop tower replace timber tower at some point.. This is why the queue line is still around haha if they had no plans to use this area except for tables they would remove all that IMO.

 

But i don't believe it'll be a 200 - 300 foot tower.. It'll be more of the 100 - 150 foot family towers and it will not be this year but sometime later..

 

This has been my belief for a while and I'm sure others have this same thought..

 

Dollywood is know to build these much cheaper flat rides between coasters..

That sure is a lot of confidence! What other features are you so sure about?

[dollywoodguy75]

I honestly don't care it will probably still be a good coaster as long as it isn't a vekoma

how big is the funnel cake at Dollywood? The funnel cake at SFDK is seriously like a foot in diameter.

[dstephe9]

Same size about a foot.. Me and my GF split it and still threw some away haha.. Not those tiny ones at most amusement parks.. They are big!

 

Plus it's full of hot chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and something else but I can't remember lol.. Its rich!

 

They also have a red velvet cake one and then just a regular powdered sugar one and sometimes a special funnel cake depending on the festival going on

sounds exactly like the ones at DK. I ate 1/4 of it and felt so full. It's kind of a waste but I guess they are meant to be shared like u and ur girl did.

[maverickpoint]

curious..... has anyone tried the firechaser express ice cream ? I read a lady post a comment on facebook saying it was awful but it sounds really good... can't remember what's in it..

[ASE]

maverickpoint, you talking about the dippin dots FireChaser Cherrybomb Ice? That's what my son gets every time....he loves it cause it has pop rocks in it....but he's 7 and would love anything with pop rocks in it. haha
