Anyone who still prefers QuickTime as their media player of choice probably still uses Netscape as a browser and maintains a CompuServe email address.

 

Glad to see LIghtning Rod testing! Ill definitely be making a return trip this year once the ride opens!

 

The following is a non-exhaustive list of fun alternative activities that might be of interest rather than using Quicktime:

 

Mountaineering

Flower arranging

Watching repeats of Frasier

Buying a new hat

Thinking about moss

Cleaning limescale from your shower

Investing in a Ponzi scheme

Checking your tire pressure

Laughing at squirrels

 

Particularly, laughing at squirrels! A delightful use of one's time!

Testing with workers onboard!

 

 

Thanks for sharing! From what I have seen there have only been 2 or 3 videos of LR in action, so these are a welcome addition and much appreciated. I'm finding it pretty ironic that people are giving you crap for using a dated video format, yet their video players apparently aren't advanced enough to play anything you throw at it in 2016. Huh.

^It's not the video player. It's because there is nothing to show. It's not testing! Dollywood has fail us all!

 

Word on the street is that they're turning it into a oversized LIM launched ropes course.

Ooooohhhh! Now that has some potential!

[Guy T. Koepp]

^But be warned, it's new technology. It probably won't work either.

[DILinator]

^Doesn't matter! I'm going to plan a trip for its Opening Day, and then be pissed and blame Dollywood when it isn't open!

Bring. It. On!

[Guy T. Koepp]

All I'm sayin' is, Dollywood brings the disappointment. We all know it!

C'mon sheeple! Any ILM hack could CGI that. You all are drinking the Cool Aide! And we all know just how reliable the guys at Coaster Crew are? Between them and the Dippin' Dots Guy, every park from Disney Sea down to your local FEC shoulda had an Aqatrax by now. Dollywood and RMC WILL probably never work in this industry again. Look at Intamin. After the train wreck that was Top Thrill Dragster. What have they done recently? EXACTLY! You all know what I'm sayin'.

Park is INSANE today. SUPER SUER BUSY line for carousel almost to Victoria's. Never seen it this busy in the height of summer. Lots of school groups methinks.

[RollerManic]

^Yes. Today is one of the Music In the Parks days. My little brother is over there for MITP today, disappointed that Lightning Rod isn't open (shame on you Dolly!!).

 

I hope you like middle schoolers and teenagers.

[brenthodge]

Lighting was hauling A€€ up the hill tonight. Did about 6 launches in the wet conditions then seemed to stop. The thing comes rocketing down the quad. This things gonna be awesome. Que house looks like one of the best themed additions to date.
