It looks like it may actually open this weekend.

[Chris]

Or next weekend? It's getting close.

[SROS Master]

It's probably not gonna open til sometime in June.

I refuse to go to the crappy park formally known as dollywood until its open! Its a waste to go any other time!!! That bread people loves taste like crap . . .

Per Dollywood's website "The Lightning Rod roller coaster is now in technical ride rehearsal. The ride may be subject to temporary closure or delays from time to time."

Time to go!

Does anybody know if there's some secret POV for this somewhere? Or if there are plans for one in the works?

I feel like I've been waiting forever!

[coasterbruh]

Yes, there is.

[psychoticbiotic]

Well I mean I've seen the animated one of course, I'm talking about an actual POV from a Gopro (or similar).

[pproteinc]

Well here you go from coaster fanatics on YouTube the real POV
