dstephe9 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Lightning rod was testing two trains with a large group of people. Expect it to open by later today or tomorrow. Is it in technical rehearsal or is it just staff? Technically it's not been officially closed if you go by the sign out front and the statement on their site.. This has been posted on the site and out front of the park for a few weeks now.. they aren't calling it technical ride rehearsal though and haven't been.. but other than listing it for weeks as CD in the parks app, the park never officially closed the ride so they could open it to guest at anytime I'd imagine With this being said, I doubt they will open it today with the app saying CD.. they very well could open it tomorrow though. IMPORTANT NOTE: As Lightning Rod’s manufacturer, Rocky Mountain Construction, is working to improve the operational consistency of the ride and elevate its performance to Dollywood’s high standards, Lightning Rod’s running schedule will be irregular and subject to periodic closures. We apologize for any disappointment and inconvenience. Please enjoy Dollywood’s newest thrill, Drop Line or one of our other family attractions Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBpony414 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 How will kids ever learn the magical qualities of the almighty hog? As someone who loves any food pork related this is a tragedy. That's a fun little tattoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 "Power Of The Pig" Indeed! My recent piggie is courtesy of my roomie Bert, during our Cedar Point visit. He won it with a bunch of tickets from his Wonder Woman arcade game! And now, back to our regular DOLLYWOOD chatting thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollywoodlover20 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I thought this was funny/ironic. May be a hint to opening though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad prize for being partly clairvoyant! (Besides, it'll likely break down again before then, so you could still be a winner!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeansproutMidget Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 B-But...we just switched our plans to go to Kings Island instead... Either way, good for the park getting it back up and running. Hopefully it's more consistent. Maybe I can swing a visit later this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't switch anything back until it gets at least a week of consistent full day operations . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 And there's the TC in the app. Fingers crossed it's something minor like adding a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
