KBrylczyk Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 A friend of mine who lives in Knoxville said she was in Pigeon Forge today and was at Friday's behind a couple DW workers and overheard them talking about a soft opening on Friday. So maybe #ItWillOpen I can't help but be reminded of this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZd_YyFzPD0
DILinator Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 ^^I can't see embedded videos while at work, but if what was linked to is a clip from Spaceballs...
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Any quote from Spaceballs is a quote I can run with! #TGIFsourcessuck #Itllneveropen
simaticable Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 You know, I need to get to Dollywood, so I could actually try the world famous cinnamon bread. It's actually on my bucket lists of food I need to have before I die. Screw the coaster as long as it doesn't affect the cinnamon bread. #itllneveropen
timetrial3141592 Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Rumor has it that the delays are actually due to Dolly demanding that the "Twin Summits™" be reshaped to be a perfect representation of her own twin summits. #ItllNeverOpen

So maybe #ItWillOpen Good to hear there might be hope for my trip. #ItMightOpen

So maybe #ItWillOpen We only trust Dippin' Dots workers here #sourceisntdippindots #eatingdippindotsdoesntcount #itllneveropen
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Oh, that's right. Today is Opposite Day. #Itwillopen
SFOG1991 Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 ^ The last two months of posts in this thread will be an interesting and slightly concerning read when we all look back a few years from now. Lightning Rod better open soon for the sake of our sanity (or what little we all have left of it).
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 ^There is no sanity! ONLY MISERY AND DARKNESS! #Itllneveropen
Dollywoodlover20 Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Look what I just stumbled upon... Somethings going on.
Firechaser Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 ^I really hope this is for real, opening tomorrow that is. Going to be there next weekend and while we can always go back this year I've been waiting for Lightning Rod since what? Last Spring?
Dollywoodlover20 Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Well if it's a soft opening for the media or whatever that's a start. It may not be tomorrow it could even be the weekend, but I will be so amused if what my friend heard from ride hosts was true.
Shavethewhales Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I mean, what's holding them back at this point from opening? They've fixed the launch apparently since some people have been able to ride, and testing has reportedly been going on for ages now... If we're making bets, I'd go ahead and say the rumors of a soft opening this weekend will end up being true. If not this weekend, then the next. Maybe they'll do a true "grand opening" for Memorial Day weekend.

Maybe they'll do a true "grand opening" for Memorial Day weekend. That's what I'm saying. Devin Olson also posted another picture on Instagram from the cabins, so he's been at the park again today. Something somewhere is about to happen. I'm just ready to see something as I'm sure all of us are. I mean I'll be down probably around Memorial Day and again in June/July, but I'll be happy with seeing it and people enjoying it.

DoinItForTheFame Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 #ItllopenREALsoon Don't do it!!! Don't fall into the trap of believing Dolly. She has a way to magically charm you with her giant. . . "lollipops." She'll make you believe anything. . . #ItllNeverOpen
blk_mamba Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Seems like it may be a reliability issue at that point if they fixed the issue and let some people ride it. Perhaps the are not confident the ride can run the full day.
Wily J Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 "Now c'mon fellas! What's with all this fussin' going on? Yeah, we has us a little 'ol fire yesterday, but we had that meth la. . . uh. . . tool shed, back up and running in no time! Y'all just be patient. There ain't never been a Rod 'ol Dolly hasn't been able to get up and running yet, and I'll lick this one eventually! Keep dreaming your dreams y'all!"
