Did you ride any of their roller coasters? Five of them (Thunderhead, Wild Eagle, Mystery Mine, Firechaser Express and the best of the bunch, Lightning Rod are in my top ten lists.

I'm way too chicken to ride coasters but the Firechaser Express does look fun and it's sort of mild so I might ride it next time I go.

I do like Blazing Fury. Not sure if you've rode it or not. It's an indoor coaster.

When I go, I usually plan the visit around the shows they offer, which are really top notch. I'm going back in April to see Pam Tillis.

In 2019 there will be a 5-acre expansion behind Thunderhead! Can't wait for that!

I'm glad you got to see Miss Dolly! She is one of my favorites.

OH Nuts! · 03-22-2018, 11:27 PM

I’m glad you had a great time! I’d love to meet her myself. She’s sooo talented, smart, witty and, at times utterly outrageous. I just love her!

Blazing Fury is their easiest coaster. Firechaser Express made it to no. 4 on my top ten steel non-looping under 100' tall list. The only rides ahead of it are Bobsleds at Seabreeze Park in New York (no. 3), Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland in California (No.2) and my all time favorite in this category Space Mountain at Disney Magic Kingdom in Florida.

PS, On my first visit to Dollywood in 1988 I got to see Tammy Wynette in concert. Waiting in line to enter the audition I had a good laugh, Two kids were in front of me both kids had t-shirts of their favorite heavy metal groups. I just wonder what they were thinking as they were waiting.

That's cool! I love her too!

No but I was the closest I've ever been before...about 5 feet away.

That's cool! I'm not a country fan, but I loved Dolly's performance in the movie 9 To 5.
