    Great video and great Vlog! It's great that you got the Lightning Rod credit and to ride those other fun coasters. Dollywood is close to Knoxville, TN and not to far from Nashville and Chattanooga so I wouldn't completely say it's in the middle of nowhere though.

    I drove by here once on a trip to 4 Cedar Fair parks and skipped it due to time constraints. This was the summer Lightning Rod came out. I feel I made the wrong choice.

    hold on they have a SRL for LR
    but i used Dollywood as a compensation for being stuck in traffic for 45 minutes at the VA TN state line instead of going to a braves game (which a HS buddy of mine was pitching in (for the visiting Cinicnati Reds).

    Before I trigger everyone in the comments, Lightning Rod is not as good as it used to be. It used to be my 2nd favorite RMC (right behind Steve) but over time, it has become a bit slower and rougher (still love it but it's a bit overrated). Currently, my RMC rankings (of the ones I've ridden) is:
    Steel Vengeance
    Twisted Timbers
    LRod
    Twisted Cyclone
    Goliath
    Storm Chaser

    Lightning Rod isn't wooden anymore, so Zadra's better because it's huge and Wildfire is not RMC's best wooden coaster.

    Lrod is kinda trash because it isn’t a strata, it has a boring and repetitive layout, it doesn’t even have 2 miles of track, the quad down delivers weak floater, and the launch might as well have been made by mack rides. i MIGHT have liked it if it had at least some mild ejector airtime but it didn’t so its trash. dollywood should have gotten a clone of valravn smh
