CoasterOhio Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hey everyone! I am currently heading to Dollywood amusement park at this time! I'm going to be there on Saturday, so fingers crossed that Lightning Rod is open when we go. They're expecting possible storms. So let's hope it goes well. We are heading there now to go to Cliffmans Dome for the sunset and for also star gazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Thunderhead after it rains is magical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 By the way. I realized it was Clingmans Dome. Anyways.... We didn't get to go to it because of..... Fallen trees.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 So Dollywood trip report. I have to say, I very much enjoyed the park. It's very interesting in a few days from Kings Island, including guest servicing. But for now. Onto the roller coasters! Thunderhead: very twisted wooden roller coaster. I like how it mists while on the lift hill. Very nice little feature they have. Dollywood certainly has a lot of misters everywhere honestly. Mystery Mine: for my first Gerstlauer it was a very awesome roller coaster. Some head banging though. So that was a little different. But I love the Elements. Fire chaser: I love this ride as well. The launches are pretty quick, and sudden. Though the restraints kind of hurt due to the boots on the restraint poking out (the ends of them. So they stick out a bit and poke you.) Wild eagle: as a wing coaster, it's a pretty interesting ride. Plenty of close calls in many ways. But I don't like how the vests lock in on you. Tennessee Tornado: for this ride. I like how it's smooth and all, but watch out for that ending. I lifted out of my seat hard enough for my knee to hit the car and that hurt. Blazing fury: ehh.... All it did was hurt my stomach a bit. Dizzy disk: better than surf dog. Honestly. Lightning Rod: closed until further notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 So what is the music like at Dollywood? I don't handle country music very well, just puts me in a cranky mood. I even had to walk out of a Lone Star Steakhouse once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 They did pretty good music. It didn't make me go insane like you do. If you went near Lightning Rod, her songs are playing. But for the most part. All the areas are playing themed music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Thanks, I fully admit I am very closed minded when it comes to music and it isn't limited to country. I can handle Dolly type country, just not the stuff you hear on the radio for the last 30 years or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
