Looks like my "big" trip of the year next summer will include this, SFoG,Lake Whinnie, Holiday World (out of the way, yes) and Pcar... Can't wait! Looks like it will be an awesome addition to the already impressive looking Dollywood!   :D


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

I'm sure ACE will have a local event next year.
I've never been to Dollywood, but next year looks like a good time to go.
Lets hope we see some rides like this in Six Flags future.
