Dollywood Discussion Thread

It looks good, but yikes, I'm really hoping they finish soon so they can start testing. Fingers crossed that this is done for the passholder preview day. It's getting close. They better hope that launch gives them NO ISSUES. Does anyone know if the launch was outsourced, and if so, by whom?

This really looks like it is going to be a fantastic fit for Dollywood. I love the terrain coaster feel of this ride and I think the unique elements like the wave turn are going to make this one heck of a ride!

Thank you!

Irvine Ondrey Engineering posted this video of them starting up Lightning Rod's electrontics - It seems they're getting to work on some of the controls now so they can be ahead once they start testing. It's cool to geek out like this!

Those photos of Lightning Run from the cabins make me even more interested in this coaster. Didn't think that was possible before.

Amazing looking ride! I still cannot fully comprehend how huge that wave turn is.

well guys... with track not complete today, if they want to be ready for March 18, that's less than four weeks. and if they can pull it off, that will be the fastest any RMC has moved from completion to guests riding.

 

I'm still hopeful but starting to feel like it will take a little bit of a miracle :/

This thing looks forceless.

The difference with this ride and other RMC coasters is that it seems they're way, way ahead of the game in terms of station, queue, themeing, and electronic components. Once the track is completed I don't think it would be long at all before testing can begin, and even with the launch system you can go from testing with water dummies to testing with real dummies in less than two weeks. I still have hope that this could open on time, but we'll see.

This thing looks forceless.

I believe you may have missed the steaming pile of sarcasm which was spread throughout prozach's post.

Me thinks he may have failed out of his Sarcasm 101 "Intro to Sarcasm" class in college.

How is it sarcastic? He isn't even referencing anything. He just randomly posts something negative. No indication of it being a joke. It's only trying to get a reaction, it's just annoying.

Oh god relax and laugh a little. It was obvious sarcasm.

Thought I stumbled into the Cedar Point thread for a second

[djcoastermark]

How could you mistake. There are no boats !

[DoubleDown]

 

Very cool image! But load/unload at 80 seconds? Dispatch interval at 90 seconds?

 

Hmmm...unless they improve their restraint system, I'm not so sure about that.
