I’m still working my way up to big thrills, still can’t do inversions. I was just at Dollywood the other day with a friend and both of us really liked Thunderhead. So we saw Lightning Rod and thought it would be similar. We got up to the top after waiting 20 minutes or so. We started getting worried that this was more intense than we thought after seeing the first hill. We thought we heard someone say it went 23 miles per hour while we were 2nd in line. We let out a sigh of relief and got ready for a light, fun ride. We got strapped into our seats, they gave the speech again. Oops, it was 73 miles per hour! We started going up the first hill freaking out a little bit. I was so scared to the point of where it was not fun as we went up and up and up. We got to the top and started going down. And it was fun! It was so fast and crazy and somehow not that rough. The airtime was INSANE. The sideways elements were super fun too. I will give a word of warning. The restraint has a lap bar connected to a foot restraint. So if you’re like me with a larger stomach and small legs, be ready to be still safe, but not as strapped in by the leg restraint. You’ll be safe, you’ll just be experiencing extra height on the airtime moments. Anyway, went on it by mistake, absolutely loved it

The Tennessee tornado was and still one of my favorites to this day going through the mountain when i was a kid was just amazing. Imo dollywood really doesn't get the love it deserves because when it comes to the allaround experience it really is up there as fun for everyone and some kettlecorn and bbq is so delicious. I remember when they had the old school black n white motion ride that gets you in a police chase and when you left it had the car wrecked into the powerlines outside the exit.. haha classic. Plus during the holidays its just beautiful just very memorable

Lightning Rod has too much air time for me. I need my butt in the seat the whole time lol Big Bear is very relaxing for me. Last night I rode it around 9:45 right in the middle of the fireworks and it is glorious when you're on it and you can see the fireworks from it. I wrote it with one of the ride attendants and we had a great time. I try ride Big Bear Mountain as many times as I can. I also love Wild eagle. I absolutely hate mystery mine because it shakes the crap out of my head and I always feel like I have a concussion afterwards I have not ridden Thunderhead or Tennessee tornado but I guess if I can do lightning rod I can do those too. I ma local with a gold season pass so I try to go a lot, a lot of times after I get off work in the afternoon. We are very fortunate to have Dollywood so close

Of parks to rank coasters, this one is very difficult for me. Their family coasters are great, Tennessee Tornado is a very surprising arrow, and while I like Lightning Rod I never got to experience it with the longer launch and original wooden track, every time I went it was always down until the refurb, at which point I already rode better RMC's. I still haven't gotten a front or back seat ride, so I haven't officially ranked it, but it might not even be in my top 25. But that could change in 2024, we will see. I haven't done Thunderhead since the last major retracking, but I am expecting it to be much better than last time I rode. I love Dollywood, their coaster collection is good, a bit quirky. I agree with your order, but then I think about it and change my mind..

Thunderhead will shake you up. Lightning Rod will throw you out of the seat. And Mystery Mine will do what he described in the video.
