"The part of the ride themed to Dolly Parton" - show's the crests at the top of the lift hill. Touché Taylor, you nailed it.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Ya know it's funny, I kind of am too, a nice Krispy Kreme (yes that's actually a place). It's funny because I've seen this parody multiple times and despite already knowing about that scene I all of a sudden wanted one watching it now.

[@liamdarcy122]

"The part of the ride themed to Dolly Parton" ... I see what u did there

[@cadenhardman1103]

"im going to get thrown out of my seat" gotta love the gp

[@finn_4761]

I need a The Smiler Coaster parody.

it's a good ride, but it does kinda crush your thighs.. literally.

[@tismejaytee]

@@coastercraziness Hey, I found Tyler from 2 years ago!

[@recordx6246]

When Takota said, "According to all known laws of aviation....." I died of laughter. I didn't know that Taylor was into memes.

[@French_Engineer]

"We're coaster enthusiasts, all we do is wait in line" these quotes helped me when I was trying to ride west coast racers on opening day. I only got a night ride on it because of the wait ;-;

[@theweirdio8582]

"If Hamilton was a roller coaster, this would be it" OMG YASSSSS TAYLOR

[@cangerfilms]

"It's supposed to keep the bees away." That line made me subscribe. Good job! Greetings from Germany!

[@lucianoalonso4389]

Next time you parody a coaster from Dollywood, you should try to get Dolly Parton to be part of it.

[@dialga3056]

Great video! But let's not forget the true "Lightning Rod" of 2016, Gale Force! Seriously, at least Lightning Rod opened to the public...

[@212Elevators]

Now Gale Force has, but first year of operation included a rattley launch! Now it's all smooth.

[@motorwayt-s628]

5:11 plot twist: Lightning Rod was her car and it stayed broken down when they got to Dollywood because they didn't fix it.

[@nolimitsluke]

One time a bee flew into my ear and stung me. That person said bees never did anything to me.

[@Alex-wn5rc]

Was it a wasp? Bees are kind

[@danielworleyyy]

This has to be my favorite parody you’ve done so far. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@coasterfrenzy3074]

The part of the ride themed to Dolly Parton 😂😂😂😂

[@madelinegarber7860]

All the rips at the ride’s technical difficulties were hilarious.

[@billofwrights7695]

That opening most certainly relates to Lightning Rod’s beginning. Nailed it!

[@dcstone]

Now let's get in line and wait 3 hours for it to break down. Taylor, I felt so sorry for you because I went a week before you and it was running- I rode it twice, and then twice the next year. So happy you finally got to ride it.

[@Hehe-nt4oe]

The ride closed for twenty minutes EVERY SINGLE TIME IT ROLLED BACK (about a third of the times when I was waiting) The app said that the wait was 5 minutes, but I ended up waiting for TWO HOURS... I got the front seat

[@nickdavis3035]

That joke about Dolly Parton was hilarious!

[@connoreugenio3699]

I love the reference to lightning rod when the parody won’t play

[@melissawright5716]

Yo, that was freakin great! And I can’t believe how tiny you all are! Good job, young folks! I am very impressed.

[@kmcddrums]

I was one of the first people to ride Lightning Rod, easily my favorite rollercoaster.

[@steveo7771286]

This parody has become a whole lot funnier now that I’ve experienced the disappointment myself.

"This is better than TemPASTA." You got it right there

Who's still here waiting in 2021? Same ol Same ol nothings changed. lol

[@steveo7771286]

Me. First time to Dollywood and thought after all the improvements it would be a sure thing, but nooooo...

[@propfoce7941]

I think the joke in the beginning is joking about how lightning rod always breaks down and whenever you get close to riding it, it always breaks down

[@SeekerLancer]

It's part of the theme. Getting on this ride is as likely as being struck by lightning.

[@johnpaulbolognese7749]

omg the jump start part!!!! Really funny XD

[@Zrj19]

The other one was really good but I LOVE how you made a extended cut it just makes it even more better.

[@irigamoi]

*when Taylor finishes his donut and then all of a sudden has another half of a donut in his hand*

[@tankchen3114]

Maybe he ate two!

[@theripoffchicago]

This longer version is hysterical. Great Job. Felt the same way seeing that closed sign in front of LR. You just stare at it hoping someone's going to come out and change it to open. You're the first person to question that odd structure at the top of the lift hill. Lol.

[@eatsleeprollercoasterrepea6609]

We’re coaster enthusiasts. All we do is wait in line. Hahaha. Soooo true. 👍👍

[@Spiderific]

I loved the Vacation reference!! Best part!!

[@mr.noride7226]

There’s one Coaster Studios moment I take credit for and it’s that joke. I pitched that idea when I was there at the Coaster Christmas event they did in December of 2016. Everybody kinda had an idea of what the parody was gonna be about and I thought it would be a good reference if they ran up to the ride like the Griswalds in Vacation and one of the ride Ops tells them the ride is closed and the moose should have told them so.

[@Amrepdude499]

At 7:42 there’s a clever joke that I didn’t understand when this first came out. It landed perfectly lmao

[@znatscubing4426]

"Are you even tall enough to ride?" LOL i died there

[@Addictedcoolmos]

i like to call lightning rod downtime: the ride

[@LucasBradley]

I like the shot at Flying Turns. At least that only had 45 minute waits at the most though.

[@LucasBradley]

Flying Turns also completed test runs awhile before it opened. The trains just were... upside-down. Small problem.

[@LucasBradley]

I'm predicting a parody of any of the coasters from Knoebels.

[@mackenziefritz8169]

He hasn't been to Knoebels yet

[@LucasBradley]

... After he does go...

[@Calcan7]

Lucas Bradley Phoenix and compare it to El Toro

[@thecoasterpro1747]

This is the funniest parody!

[@dragonfire101g]

Wait, I thought that RMC's were "flawless"

[@iateyourkidneys8779]

Dragon Fire they are. It’s just that it is all new technology and this isn’t cedar fair.

[@gokumodz5019]

“Who would ride this coaster if your gonna get thrown out of your seat!” XD

[@johnlrosales8912]

I'll always love Tennessee tornado!!!

[@oofbread8889]

Beginning explained: it is funny because I guess the parody represents lightning rod because it is always being delayed.

[@showbizwisconsin8350]

7:42 took me forever to get that joke

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

I still don’t lol apparently it’s innapropiate so i won’t ask

2016: Lightning Rod is the most hyped coaster of all- 2018: *steel vengeance

[@starryagent9936]

It’s content like this that elevates this channel to my favorite coaster channel of all time. This is an loling video for sure! Very funny, you should be either a filmmaker or a comedian Taylor! PS: Next parodies should be Orion and 2020 as a whole for COVID and everything else that happened

[@jekporkins4563]

I was proudly one of the first public riders of lightning rod. It was hell waiting for it

[@KevinShawisdabest]

the extended cut just makes it so much better

[@Coolbreeze0988]

Did anyone else see the whole structure sway when the train came into the final turn...?

[@smatrai]

awesome job taylor

[@Pdv345]

Cedar point closes dragster if you spit by it, but this is a whole different level

“Quite possibly the most obsessed you ever get with a roller coaster” Velocicoaster: are you sure about the?

[@kyogresfunchannel]

But Like can you blame Velocicoaster, it does deserve the love

[@IntaminFanGRLPowerCoasters]

​@kyogresfunchannel4387 Hey I'm obsessed with one that doesn't exist yet lol:)

[@snoboard91503]

To be fair, I went to Dollywood for the first time with the mindset that Lightning Rod wouldn’t be open… in October 2021. And I was correct. What I didn’t expect was Blazin Fury to break down. 😭😅 But back row Thunderhead was awesome so it’s fiiiiiiiiiiine.

thank you!

[@lucasss6416]

this deserves more views

[@koolkdny]

Yo, I think it would be lit if you did a parody of The Phantom's revenge at Kennywood. If you can't think of something to make fun of it for, tease it for being made by 2 different manufacturers

[@zClonky]

And both of those manufacturers are defunct

[@koolkdny]

Speedy Reviews D.H. Morgan isn’t defunt. they just changed their name to chance rides

[@zClonky]

Molten Legion oh oops

5:15 Chad: yes

I think some of this that you edited out didn't make sense so I kinda like the other one better but I died at the wildfire part lol

[@CoasterStudios]

National Coaster News that's totally fine, that's why we have the 1st one! Naturally people are gonna have their preferences and that's fine by me!

[@colemouledous4817]

Was the Best Parody/RMC Then They stole its Vengeance

[@Maya_Ruinz]

Kinda makes you think... just how many hours of your life have you waited in a coaster line? .... or waited for a ride to come back up after it closed...
