SixFlagsAstroworld Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 This everyone is why you do NOT bring phones on a coaster. Especially one that goes 73mph and goes out of control through the hills. Photoshopped or not, that that is the funniest on ride photo I've ever seen!

Dollywoodlover20 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 No photoshop, it's on Instagram under the Dollywood hashtag. The family was even laughing at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 If not photoshopped: That's a contender for one of the most incredible on-ride phoros I've ever seen! If photoshopped: Still hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keetz Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 "So Six Flags is using phones for VR on their coasters. Lets try it here at Dollywood!" Their VR attachment strategy seems much simpler. Probably reduces dispatch times and will work 100% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beenagins87 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Anybody at the park today?? Is Lighting Rod up and running?? I'm just wondering because I glanced at the wait times on the app and it's not listed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 ^ It was open but not listed on Saturday, so I wouldn't put too much weight on that. If anything, I would think they would list it as "CD" if it wasn't going to open (especially because it's now "officially" open). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STDog Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I just arrived I'll report soon.. park is empty I'm in lot b and c is jis starting to open Not surprising for the middle of the week in September. I'm still surprised they are open so much during the week right now. I think most parks are down to weekends only this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still surprised they are open so much during the week right now. I was actually pretty puzzled by their operating schedule too. It looks like they're open every day but Tuesday and Thursday in September, then every day but Tuesday in October with the exception of Halloween which is a Monday. Then they're closed until November 5th where they switch to a Wednesday through Sunday schedule until December where they're only closed on Mondays until the 13th where they're open daily except for Christmas and Christmas Eve until New Years.

What... the... f**k? Sounds to me like the park is in "technical operating schedule rehearsal"......the park may be subject to closure from time to time I'd love to go there on a random weekday in Sept. or Oct., as I'd imagine the park is dead and lines are fairly non-existant!!

Midgetman82 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Anyone familiar with how the crowd level is in any given Saturday or Sunday in October and November? Or maybe even Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Anyone familiar with how the crowd level is in any given Saturday or Sunday in October and November? Or maybe even Friday? I went the first weekend of November last year (first week of Smoky Mountain Christmas), and I don't recall the crowds being bad, but it was also a cold/misty/dreary day. But the crowds increase as the holidays approach, so take that into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What... the... f**k? HFE know exactly what they're doing. The schedule may seem crazy, but they've got data, and the days they're closed are days that would be very low attendance. SDC's schedule is always like that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Oh I'm not questioning them, just pointing out the hilarity of that operating schedule. You can't deny that it's a clusterf**k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
