The real pov has been shot by the park and its affiliates. This is the real amateurish pov. Now parks are gonna start banning glasses . . .

[Jarsh]

Yep.

The park approved POV should be out soon as it's being edited now.

[Axel]

awesome! looks to be one of the worlds best woodies!

With the amount of speed at the end, RMC should have designed it to be a little longer of a ride.

[Jarsh]

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe after the climb at the end, they could've made a left turning helix that was banked up the hillside and run that into the brake run?

Either way, it'll be fantastic when they get the LSM issue fixed and can run the ride consistently. I'm afraid as the summer season gets here and the days get hotter, the issue is just gonna get worse if they don't fix it soon.

[bobbyfoster]

That or it could had a MCBR where the Brake run is at and then the coaster shoots back off into the woods sorta like The Beast or The Voyage. For that ride to have all that speed at the end and the ride itself comes to a an end....is kind of odd. This ride is timing less the a minute of a ride time, this could have easily have been a 1.5 to 2 minute. With having that MCBR, not only would have given them a higher capacity, but the ride itself would have been filled with more air time.

As far as the lunch, I understand that they may not want roll backs, but I think the launch was a little too strong. But again, that's what makes it Lightning Rod. Fast.

Yeah, Dollywood has always had huge portion sizes.

Stupid auto correct....

[pproteinc]

I believe this is the official POV.

Officially open!!

[FamousAmos]

Does Dollywood have some sort of Fast Lane or anything like this?

[dabrian]

They have a time saver pass. A bit different than fast pass but also much cheaper.

[FamousAmos]

Any advice I should know before going to the park? I've never been to Dollywood (when open at least) so it's all new to me.

[tarheel1231]

Ride every coaster in the back.

My new number 1 coaster is Lightning Rod. I got multiple rides yesterday during the "ERS" with European Coaster Club. Hard to find the right words, other than "intense", "aggressive", the usual. But I have never ever ridden anything like this. My only advice is not to ride on a wheel seat. Not that the wheel seats are that bad, but there is a noticeable difference. Here's a short video I put together last night for those interested.
