Dollywood spent more than $60 million on NightFlight Expedition — was it worth it?

DonHelbig · August 17Aug 17

Dollywood’s NightFlight Expedition is the park’s largest single-attraction investment ever at more than $60 million. I rode it twice during the media ride dedication event, and its immersive storytelling and innovative ride system blew me away.

Timberwolf upgrade concept

Hawaiian Coasters 325 · May 9, 20215 yr

A little concept I came up with. If the park were to want to compete with Riverbend and other concert venues to bring back big name acts to the park, they'd need to upgrade timberwolf. The idea I came up with requires the removal of Congo Falls and Invertigo and would also get a separate entrance from the front gate area and you would also be able to access it from the Action Zone plaza. This idea allows them to have a much bigger plaza and would be allow them to use it for other things like spe

Are those that already bought Prestige getting the shaft once again?

Are those that already bought Prestige getting the shaft once again?

disco2000 · February 19Feb 19

News out of KD....apparently a similar rollout will be coming to the KI region soon. And the Season Long FL in the east region has been cut in half in price as well. So those that bought Prestige with add-ons would have benefitted by waiting.... They really are trying to encourage people to wait until the day before they visit the park with these constant revisions... And they will wonder why sales are down during the August rollout for 2027.... Lot's of chatter in other soc

Six Flags Great Adventure’s Record-Breaking BAKUNAWA Will Be Unlike Any Roller Coaster You’ve Ever Ridden

DonHelbig · July 30Jul 30

A 382-foot-tall coaster. Speeds of 100 mph. Six world records. The world’s first free-spinning floorless coaster trains. Six Flags Great Adventure’s new BAKUNAWA is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated roller coasters of 2027. Here’s why thrill seekers will want to add it to their bucket list.

Unfortunately, at least some of them, like Grain and Grill and Snoopy Grill, have extremely unappetizing AI slop images of the "food".

Dollywood spent more than $60 million on NightFlight Expedition — was it worth it?

We were very impressed by NightFlight Expedition after our two rides yesterday morning, especially for a regional park. Considering how much it going on logistically with the ride system the entire experience flows remarkably well.

Festhaus has new menu screens (not tvs, but the design/artwork on them), they look great, French Quarter does also. Not sure if all of them have been done throughout the park but the look much better than before.

Timberwolf upgrade concept

Decided to have some fun with AI and modernize Timberwolf into a more modern venue while keeping the rustic lodge feel to the venue. Safe to say I like the way these turn out. Sadly I don't think the park or corporate would it would be worth the investment.
Also please excuse the kiddy ride in Drop Tower's spot in the 3rd one. I liked the way the venue concept turned out, but I didn't want to potentially ruin it by trying to get rid of the kiddy ride and putting Drop Tower back there.

Are those that already bought Prestige getting the shaft once again?

IMO I feel like I got my value out of my pass this year. The first part of the season I had a very light attendance schedule as I was testing for certifications for work (the 9/10 aka a management cert for the financial industry) BUT I feel like I did get to use my pass at Cedar Point quite a bit in July, my free snacks and exclusive VIP parking enough to warrant the pass. Now I’m planning on heading out west to LA this October and I believe Knotts will be doable on that trip. I believe at this point I have the cash so im just going to buy my pass outright and all of the works for 2027.
