It’s been the joke for years… Dollywood is just gonna give up and make the launched wooden coaster (that isn’t even a wooden coaster anymore) a chain lift coaster…
Well… it’s happening. The launch will be removed in favor of a “high speed chain lift”
In addition to the article, Dollywood posted a video on Twitter regarding this change: https://twitter.com/Dollywood/status/1701611625071919200?s=19
Aw man, I’m finally going to Dollywood for the first time middle of November. I know this ride has not been very reliable but, it has been a bucket list ride for me ever since it opened. I hope this is for the best but I wish I could experience the launched version.
