Dollywood just keeps knocking it out of the park. I feel bad for people that have never visited Dollywood. If you really appreciate theme parks.......you are missing something special.

I'm still a little upset that they got rid of the ropes course for this, but I'll admit it's a decent family coaster.
Just got back from my first trip to Dollywood. It's a VERY amazing park and one of my favorites. I absolutely loved Wild Eagle. This was my second Wing Coaster (my first being Flüg der Dämonen at Heide Park), and it is currently my favorite! Firechaser Express is also a very solid and well done family coaster! The theming in this park is also some of the best that I've seen. I even liked my lunch (it was roast beef with pinto beans)!
Overall, Dollywood is definitely a park I would recommend and I wouldn't mind revisiting it! :happy:

Dollywood to me is the Knotts Berry Farm of the south-east. It has a great appeal for kids (Firechaser, a great Waterblaster ride, ETC...) and appeal for the rest of the family (Mystery Mine, Wild Eagle,ETC...). I think they're doing a great job with the park and it would be something i'd go for in the mountains

:doggie: Oh yes please! Maybe that will be for their 2016 addition. With 2015 bringing a Cyclone conversion at SFNE, and 2016 bringing Wildfire at Kolmarden (Sweden), as well as a possible conversion of Colossus at SFMM (2015 or 2016), I'd say RMC is going to be pretty busy! :happy:
I believe HTF is referring to the coaster company Rocky Mountain Construction. Their recent coaster creations like Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City and Goliath at SFGAm are highly ranked and are considered by many to be some of the best coasters out there. They also specialize in refurbishing tracks of existing wooden coasters, like New Texas Giant at Six Flags Over Texas, Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and Steel Medusa at Six Flags Mexico, and those rides have also received amazing reviews after their refurbishment. In the post, HTF is saying that Dollywood may be in line to get a coaster by this manufacturer.
Hope it helps!

I had the BEST time at Dollywood this past weekend. What a great little park. It was my second visit but again, I love all the coasters. Wild Eagle is incredibly smooth and well done, as is Firechaser. Thunderhead is probably still my favoriite, while Mystery Mine is getting a bit rougher and probably ranks as my least favorite right now. I would say I'm looking forward to whatever they have next and I'll definitely be back.

Its a great park, a hidden gem if I may. A few more major attractions and it can make a serious case for being one of the top amusement parks in the country.

Even better in some areas. When I went to buy a QBot, they told me I'd be wasting my money since the longest line was only 20 minutes for Firechaser. I was like "Universal would NEVER.."
