Did I call this or what? Anyway, I did better side-by-side comparison for you.

Luckily any day now Lightning Rod is probably due to launch a wheel into a mountain or spontaneously combust or something so we can stop talking about covid...

63 is as slow as Tornado goes, it's top speed can go above 70 on a hot Summer day.

 

As for my reason for switching to Monday, the park is open 9-8 on that Friday in addition to Saturday, so it will probably be busy.

 

Also, I the whole 'not opening til noon' thing is gonna kill us at Mystery Mine, I can just feel it... lol

^Unfortunately my girlfriend had already made the hotel reservation for Thursday night, so it looks like we will be going Friday despite the crowds. I'm not too worried about getting all the coasters in, but does Dollywood have a "cramped" feel to it when it is crowded, or are the crowds usually spread fairly evenly?

I've been there many times when the whole parking lot was full and they were making people park in the overflow lot of Splash Country and I can say Dollywood is one of the best parks I've been to as far as the crowds being spread out, with the exception of the Country Fair area.

 

Also, if you want to ride the train, get there several minutes before it arrives to get a seat.

Is Dollywood opening at 9a or 10a on Friday? I've seen both times posted.

With the weekend weather looking worse and worse, what rides will Dollywood not operate in the rain? And what is their thunderstorm operations like?

 

We don't close for rain, we do for lightning, however. Most of the larger rides (coasters included) close when lightning is detected within 10 miles, while other rides close when it's a bit closer (6 mile radius). If it is that close, the only rides open are Blazing Fury and Imagination Cinema (the simulator) because both are indoors.

I was just checking out the weather forecast for Friday, as I am getting ready to leave here early Thursday morning to drive up. So far it just says "T-storms" but not whether it is all day or not. Here's hoping everything still moves forward as scheduled!
