komasixx Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Light Green. The whole coaster is practically there Yes, the track is light green but the picture I saw of the supports showed a darker green. It could’ve just been the angle, though. Hopefully this means that it won’t be too long before vertical construction will begin of the coaster. Oh the supports are blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinslasher Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 A weird question for everyone... Do you know if Dollywood still does their Dolly Dollars? I think they stopped them but was curious. I've got tons of them from all the way back to 1995. Anyone else collect them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollywoodlover20 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 And we are vertical!! Also, I don’t think they make the Dolly Dollars anymore. They used to give you so many when you bought tickets and the front gate. They’ve not done that in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby2889 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I’ve seen many people state the supports are blue, I’m assuming they are referring to the pieces for Mad Mockingbird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad you posted this. I know I am color deficient but I knew I saw what looked like blue supports by the green tracks lol. I feel like I'm not crazy now as those blue pcs were for Mad Mockingbird! So exciting to see the construction trucking along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So exciting to see the construction trucking along! Yep I was wrong. Sorry lol. I did think it was weird to see like every single track piece and then like 1 blue support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) This has nothing to do with the park itself, but the most Gatlinburg thing ever happened at Margaritaville Resort...

mikeykaise Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Black bears are herbivores so unless a cub is being threatened they are kind of not aggressive but I still wouldn't get too close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfoxga Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I'm trying to plan a trip to Dollywood just before Thanksgiving. I went to buy season passes and the site says they are not for sale. Does anyone know when they will be back? I'm considering getting a SuperPass for the 20% discount at DreamMore... Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstephe9 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Black bears are herbivores so unless a cub is being threatened they are kind of not aggressive but I still wouldn't get too close.This is what I tell people all the time around here but they never believe me.. it's true though!! And even if they do get aggressive, their first sign of aggressiveness is usually a "bluff charge"! (Bad name that some folks even consider isn't a true or accurate name for what's happening) Sort of like playing chicken with a bear haha. They say the black bear will stop 100% of the time if anyone is ever brave enough to stand still and see.

mark549 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Black bears are herbivores so unless a cub is being threatened they are kind of not aggressive but I still wouldn't get too close. They are omnivores. But I agree they are not that aggressive unless you annoy them. My encounters have been anticlimatic. Grizzlies are more aggressive than the average bear, if you're in the northern Rockies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEDodd Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I went to buy season passes and the site says they are not for sale. Does anyone know when they will be back? I don't recall that ever happening. They just rolled over to next year without a break. And I thought '19 passes were already being offered. (Back in August there was a presale mentioned in an email) I've bought in Oct many times. Just guessing, but i'd expect them to be back up before the 10th when park reopens for Christmas. (maybe a glitch with the new site updates) But I'd recommend you call and ask. Explain you're planning a trip and wanted to buy a pass for it.

Thunderhead01 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I was at the park Saturday night and noticed as I was on Thunderhead supports are now up for the new coaster I was unable to get pictures cause it was near closing time and it was dark Lightning Rod was also up and running with two trains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 It doesn't seem like Lightning Rod has had any real downtime since it reopened, which is encouraging (and also something that we never should have had to say for a coaster now in its 3rd year of operation).

DWsuperfan Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I know this has been discussed earlier in the thread and the rumor was even put to rest when someone emailed the park concerning it, however, I am still hearing rumblings that mountain slidewinder is indeed done and being removed. Any thoughts? Or has anyone heard any additional rumors or speculations about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinaalsgirl Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 So, I had my first ever trip to Dollywood on Halloween, and it was PERFECT. The weather was amazing, crowds were non-existent, and I just couldn't have asked for a better day for a first impression of the park! We basically walked on to all the rides; we did every coaster except Thunderhead and Blazing Fury. We ate a late lunch at Aunt Granny's, and omg, it was amazing. LumiNights was spectacular, and Wild Eagle and Firechaser Express at night are wonderful! Lightning Rod was our first ride of the day, and OMG, WOW. MINDBLOWING. The Smoky Mountains are so beautiful, and Pigeon Forge looked like it had a lot of great stuff to do (we did an hour or so at The Christmas Place and I loved it!). We didn't even get to drive through Gatlinburg, so I can only imagine how much more there is to do there as well. I want to take a two week trip back to that area. I've absolutely fallen in love! EDIT: Oh, and the artist/calligrapher Victoria Rose at the Christmas Cottage was one of the nicest people I have ever met. My friends and I had a long conversation with her about various art things, and the experience left me with a lasting feeling of awesomeness.

Any thoughts? Or has anyone heard any additional rumors or speculations about it? I think the concern started from the fact that Dollywood removed Mountainside Slidewinder from their website around Labor Day when it was closed for the season due to weather. I just checked the website and they've removed Daredevil Falls and Smoky Mountain River Rampage as well. I guarantee you they aren't removing all three of their water rides at once, so they probably just took them off the website since there's no chance of them opening at Smoky Mountain Christmas.

I wasn’t sure, because the rumblings I heard were coming from ride operators in the park. Plus the last couple seasons they’ve only ran the ride from late May to Labor Day which is what silver dollar city did before waterworks was removed. On another note though, the park posted on Facebook that Dolly will be at the park this weekend to kickoff Smoky Mountain Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
