mordecai-75 Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I still can't believe that I'm about to have an RMC in my own state. Definitely a dream come true! Only a week to go!! RMC, woot! woot!, " i can't wait, this is gonna be amazing ".
DILinator Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Why have none of you thought "racing" to just be à figure of speech? It is a car thème after all. I hear people at CP all thé time saying TTD and MF "race" into their respective stations simply because of how fast they run going into their brake fins. Coups it simply be à speed référence? Not, "none of you"... I actually brought up this same point back on page 606! I would love to be wrong about that and have it actually be racing, however!
Dollywoodlover20 Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I would just in general like to see this be the biggest, baddest, and meanest thing to ever come to Dollywood. I mean for one year, after so many of these past years make an all out "thrill ride". Not a "Family based" coaster or "Family oriented" ride. I mean please, I have seen little kids by theirselves on Wild Eagle and going back for more. I don't think Family oriented is starting to really phase these kids much anymore. A few kids got off of FCE and said it was a "lame whack ride" that could've done more. These are 7,8-10 year olds I'm talking about. All I'm saying is, bring on the white knuckle coaster. I wanna scream of fear.
Lucas The Drummer Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Hey guys, I'm visiting Dollywood for the first time on Saturday, August 15th and have a few questions. Would it be worth it to get the timesaver pass on that day? It seems it will be pretty crowded. Also, I read that people who stay in the resort there get free time savers and get into the park an hour early on Saturdays. Is it possible for them to run out of them before the general public gets into the park? Thanks!
DILinator Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 It takes two to race... Theoretically, yes. But in common speech, people say "I'm going to race here", or "I'll race on over", all the time, and they aren't really racing anything... I'm not disputing the very interesting possibility that the use of that terminology could be alluding to, but I'm also not going to put too much stock into it, since it came off more like an off the cuff "racing" reference, which is really referring more to speed, than the two competing racers aspect. Again, though, I hope my hesitance to latch onto that word as significant proves unfounded, and we get the most amazing racing coaster this planet has ever seen!

We're still in the minority, though.
Dollywoodlover20 Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 They're making the move to Facebook now with this teaser.
ASE Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Does anyone know why Carowinds suddenly shut down Thunder Road? I know they refurbished it back in 2013, so it just seems odd to close it 2 years later....especially just a couple weeks before Dollywood announces their new coaster. Coincidence? Or something more?

They are preparing for a massive water park expansion.
DoinItForTheFame Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 I can't wait for the announcement. We are taking our first visit to Dollywood next summer!! We are booking a VIP Tour, and the Wild Eagle lift tour thing! CANT WAIT!!!
DILinator Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 I mentioned this earlier in this thread somewhere, but the more and more I see things seep out regarding this new Dollywood coaster, the more I'm becoming convinced that it's going to set the speed record for a wooden coaster, if nothing else. Likely launched, but either way, it seems speed is a big part of what this coaster is going to offer as its calling card! I can't wait for the announcement. We are taking our first visit to Dollywood next summer!! We are booking a VIP Tour, and the Wild Eagle lift tour thing! CANT WAIT!!! Even before any of this came out, I had already started planning my family's first vacation out to the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area for next year, so this is indeed very fortuitous timing! Factor in that Kentucky Kingdom is also adding a sweet-looking new RMC, and is on the way back home, and it's definitely going to be a pretty awesome vacation of RMC amazingness!
blakelemay23 Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 I live in Memphis and am really deprived of a good amuesement park down here, but atleast SFOT, Silver Dollar City, and now Kentucky Kingdom and Dollywood are all going to have RMC coasters at a reasonable driving distance.
A.J. Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Thankfully, I'll likely be making my drive to Georgia twice in the next two years, so it looks like holding out until 2016 will be worth it.
coasterfreaky Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I noticed that Dollywood's Youtube page has uploaded a couple of new videos that may be of some interest to some folks on here... A look back at 30 years: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Entrance Sign construction: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
Vonni Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 The video for the look back at 30 seasons made me a little dizzy lol!
SFOGdude25 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I'll be at the park today for the first time since 2012. I'm hoping crowds won't be too bad since it's a weekday! Can't wait to check out the 2016 site!
Lucas The Drummer Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I will be at the park the first time ever on August 15th. 2 things: should I buy tix online? I don't like service fees but I'm also not sure what lines at the ticket broths will be like. Also how early should I get there before the park opens to his rented myself some Q2Qs
Firechaser Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 ^It seems like this year the ticket booth line has been long so I would try to buy tickets online. If you get there at opening just go straight to the time-saver rental place and you should be fine. Have a good trip!
dstephe9 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Ticket booths normally aren't that bad but I expect it to be very busy that day. I'd personally buy online
Lucas The Drummer Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Ok cool. Would it be smart to get there a bit before opening? I know my local six flags opens the main plaza of the park like 30 mins before the rides. Does Dollywood do anything like that?
thrillseeker4552 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Would it be smart to get there a bit before opening? It is never a bad idea to get to a park before opening.
dstephe9 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Dollywood does open ticket window before opening and then twenty mins or so before opening they will take down the gates and let you in the plaza area
betterday85 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Link above for Dollywood's Live Stream of the 2016 announcement with Dolly (Friday at 10:30 AM ET).
coasterjunkie1975 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Just over 48 hours to go folks...can't wait!!!!!
