HOLY CRAP! The drop on LR looks massive in the picture. I know its almost 200 ft, but I didn't expect it to look that big. Can't wait to ride that in a few months!

Gravity knows no force like Millennium Force
My Top 5
1. Maverick 2. Fury 325 3. Lightning Rod 4. I-305 5. Banshee

Just imagine when spring comes and the trees are on in full bloom and dense. Man that ride will be sick going through the forest.

Question.... do 2-day tickets exist for Dollywood? We want to visit in the spring but we don't know if we have to buy two separate sets of tickets or if there is a deal that exists that will let us visit for two days under one price.

Coaster Count: 63

Not that I have ever seen.... You are better off getting a season pass, would probably be cheaper or the same price as 2 days of tickets really.... OR if you went to WWU and got the admission ticket, use it to upgrade to a SP for cheaper...

In the past they have had an option where you can enter after 5 PM the day before for free. Not sure if that is still a thing. I can't find it on the website so it may not be.

Last year, they had an option where you could get into the park up to 3 times in a 7 day period for around $100. Not sure if that's still going to be around next year.

They still have that. "Arrive after 3, and the next day's FREE."

Since this has became the Dollywood thread did anyone else catch Coat of Many Colors? I personally loved the movie and even if you are not religious it is hard to miss all of the great messages that it exemplified. Before I forget, Merry Christmas!
