    Airtimes Launch Chef d'oeuvre Fiabilité

    Made me fall back in love with rollercoasters.

    This was the last roller coaster I rode with an appendix.

    Awesome attraction. Decently themed, super fun and smooth, still a great ride even though they got rid of the launch

    Pretty overrated, and I rode this with the launch.

    I unfortunately never rode the launched version but this rides first drop is insane and the layout offers incredible ejector airtime especially on the famed quad down the only real problem is the wood...

    Airtimes Intensité Ejectors Inconfort

    This is the roller coaster that made me an enthusiast back in 2019. Coming back in 2025 I was very worried that the coaster that started it all would fall in my rankings. Although the removal of the l...

    First Drop Fun Ejectors

    My first RMC and did not disappoint. With its relentless pacing and fabulous ejector airtime this is a must do at Dollywood. It is so smooth and the first drop is phenomenal. Definitely the best ride ...

    Airtimes Situation Ejectors Inconfort Fiabilité Lap Bar

    I never rode it with the launch. I really like this ride a lot but it still has its flaws. Cons: I always say with every RMC but those shin guards suck for tall people. Also there is a bad pothole aft...

    Situation Chef d'oeuvre Fiabilité

    Rode before the launch was altered. One of the best, first drop was euphoric, along with the quad down. The terrain brought this ride even higher. The lack of a launch cuts its wings, but is still ...

    Great RMC situated on top of a mountain which is very cool. Never rode this with the launch. The lift hill isn’t all that fast. Not a high ranking RMC for me but still gives an amazing ride and is the...

    First Drop Intensité Baffes Inconfort

    since they removed the launch, the ride is slower and therefore much rougher. definitely a headbanger, gave me an instant headache. still worth it though!

  • Brian Sheldon il y a 2 mois

    Airtimes Intensité Ejectors

    My first ride, I wasn't 100% sold on its greatness. After a few back-to-back night rides, however, it launched its way up my favorite coasters of all time rankings. The air is crazy, ejector style. Li...

    Airtimes Situation Vitesse Vibrations Déception ! Inconfort

    Definitely worse with the lift hill since the layout was meant for a launch, also much MUCH more rough than anticipated, even in the very front.

  • Seamus Gorr il y a 4 mois

    Airtimes Chef d'oeuvre Intensité

    What an amazing ride. Even without the amazing launch and a litter slower pace, the wave turns, the airtime hills, and the quad-down more than make up for it and are all absolutely amazing. This is st...

    Situation Intensité Ejectors Fiabilité

    I’ve been riding since 2017. It’s been slowly been getting neutered, but it’s still an incredible ride. I miss the launch, but the airtime is still very intense and the setting is beautiful.

  • Brandon Moore il y a 5 mois

    Absolute blast to ride! So much more potential to extend, but thoroughly unneeded.

  • Jamie Óchi il y a 6 mois

    was fortunate enough to ride this 2 years after it opened, absolutely insane coaster.

    very intense

    First Drop Intensité Ejectors Vibrations Déception ! Launch

    The ride was really fun but I think people hype it up too much. I actually think that thunderhead was better but still an amazing ride. also keep in mind I never rode it with the launch.

  • Maddux il y a 7 mois

    Théma Chef d'oeuvre Layout Inconfort

    Ride row 7, train 2, left side. Top 5 layout, if only they had chosen a better launch subcontractor. Dollywood, now that you've given up on its title, can we get a full steel retracking for 2025? Also...

    Having ridden this coaster almost every year since 2019, I can confidently say that all the talk of this thing being nerfed over the years is overblown. While the launch was fun and unique, it was als...

    Best coaster out of everything at Lagoon and Dollywood. Best coaster I've ridden. I just wish I got to experience the launched version :( oh well:(

    Airtimes Situation Vitesse Vibrations

    The first rides in the morning the trains are too slow especially in the first half of the track. I guess with the original LSM launch this was better. But when the trains are warmed up this ride is a...

    Airtimes First Drop Intensité

    Even with a chain lift Lightning Rod is still great. Ride this in the back car in this, it is amazing in the back. The first drop is great, the airtimes are great, and the quad down finale is one of m...

    Airtimes Situation Vitesse Trop court Inconfort

    Superbe RMC qui joue parfaitement bien avec le terrain. J'aime bien le principe du RMC sans inversion qui a pour unique but de bombarder en s'aidant de la colline, ça marche super bien sur moi. Le wav...

    Airtimes Fluidité Ejectors

    Malgré quelques transitions inconfortables au tassements douteux, Lightning Rod est une petite bombe atomique qui ne laisse pas respirer les riders de A à Z. Mention spéciale au cadre complétement fo...

    This one didn't live up to the hype but was still an excellent coaster. Riding it this year I probably rode iteration #3 or #4 where there is no launch. This kills the speed compared to some POVs I'...

    Airtimes First Drop Ejectors Trop court

    Rode AFTER the launch was removed. Thought it might be a bit of a disappointment after hearing thoosies complain, but it's pretty solid in my opinion. The first drop is AMAZING and everything that fol...

    Lightning Rod was once my number one but dropped down my list over the years. It's become a Frankenstein of a coaster that really feels a bit off. Despite this, it's still a very very good RMC. The la...

    Way better with the launch. Used to be a 5 star, but the chain takes away from a bit of the excitement.

    Airtimes Situation Fun Déception ! Lap Bar

    Manque de vitesse flagrant en début de parcours ou le wave turn n'est pas pris assez vite pour qu'on puisse sentir un vrai moment de flottement sans se faire rattrapé par la gravité. L'élément suivant...

    Ahh, the famous lightning rod. Everything that Ive ever heard about this ride was true. Lets start off with the positive. Lighting rod definitely has the best themed trains out of all the rmcs ive...

    Airtimes Théma Situation Vibrations

    A truly great rollercoaster that I would have loved to ride the way it was meant to be with the launch. A relatively slow chain-lift really isn't going to replace an LSM launch. Nevertheless, Lightnin...

    Never rode with the launch but damn even with the chain lift this thing absolutely slaps. Rode on a 80 degree sunny day so it was FLYING. Did not expect this to go that fast honestly. Top 5 coaster fo...

    Another overrated rmc. Airtime? More like time to say goodbye to your thighs (not fat btw). And now I hear its losing its launch? Oh brother.... Lightning Rodbros stay coping

    After marathoning Lightning Rod on its last day of operation last season, I realized just how special this ride truly is. The launch up the hill was such a novel way to start the ride, and one of the ...

    Airtimes Situation Layout

    I wish this ride was a little longer, and I wish it had an inversion. There are some rough spots on the last turnaround. That's my only critique. The ride has airtime on every element, is well paced, ...

    200 coasters. That is one helluva achievement. Especially making it more of a ceremony with a kickass ride like this. I was waiting to get back on this since my first visit in 2018 and patiently waite...

    Situation Intensité Ejectors Fiabilité

    This ride in its configuration prior to 2024 was incredible. The launch really set the tone for the ride and fit the loose "hot rod" theme well. I doubt the "fast chain" helps the ride retain its hype...
