Which Coaster at Dollywood has the MOST Prime Ride Time? 

Your lucky it’s your home park

whats your home park@@sarahlitz2473

Agreed! Dollywood is the best home park!

I’m grateful for my home park because it has sixteen rollercoasters ❤️ all packed with thrills

I’ve got 3 home parks this is one of them, the other 2 are carowinds and over Georgia

SDC is better

@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od tbf I haven’t been there, but I’d assume it’s somewhere equally on par with Dollywood, maybe better.

Who are you?

Pacing in terms of how fast the coaster goes does not do GCIs justice. GCIs rely on good profiling and quick transitions from one element to the next. You don't need tons of speed for that. Wild Eagle has plenty of speed, but it doesn't feel as fast because the elements are more drawn out. Pacing in terms of quick transitions from one element to the next is more enjoyable pacing to me, but that is nearly impossible to quantify mathematically.

@@OklahomaCoasterFan Makes sense

I will do Lagoon, will see if I visit again this year

4 weeks? Noooo

But it's gonna be my birthday

Probably doesnt have a high enough top speed

@@AirtimeThrills yeah, but I will say that I’ve seen the train stop halfway around the turn that leads towards the station with how fast it enters the final brakes.

Think of the pacing number as "average speed during prime ride time". Sometimes a coaster feels faster (or slower) than the numbers would suggest. Also, keep in mind that the lift hill on more traditional (read: non-launched) coasters isn't counted as prime ride track or prime ride time, so they may feel "slower" for that reason.

Pretty sure he has. It’ll be a very old video.

Worst by what metric?

@@zacg_ Personal enjoyment to be frank. Dollywood had a fine atmosphere but all rides felt shorter than average. It felt like once things got going, the rides over. Food prices are insane. Paths are too small and overcrowded. I went about 8ish years ago, so it may be different now. Hershey is the worst beacuse it's the only park I actually got hurt at (concussion). Operators have no idea about safety. I'm surprised there aren't more deaths to be honest. In addition to it being incredibly unsafe, there's almost no shade, bathrooms were rare, it had a horrible layout, and I got really bored. I'd strongly suggest anyone avoid Hershey Park. The only park worse in the US or Canada is probably Marineland, but I've never gone. Nor will I.

@@tylerrusnak7736 I'm sorry you had a bad time at Dollywood and Hersheypark. I love both of those parks, especially Dollywood. I'm honestly shocked to hear you were put off by the food prices at Dollywood seeing as the quality is very high but on average less expensive than Cedar Fair park food. And their sit down restaurants are literally half the price you'd pay at Disney for higher quality (in most cases. I'll admit that some of the nicer EPCOT and Animal Kingdom restaurants are unbeatable.) I love Dollywood for the atmosphere, the shows, the music, food and shopping. The rides are very good in my opinion (though I'm sad to see Lightning Rod lose its signature launch.) The only parks I'd say compete with Dollywood area Silver Dollar City (obviously), Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Universal Islands of Adventure. But I'd take it in a heartbeat over Cedar Point, Kings Island, Six Flags Magic Mountain or Great Adventure. I just find those parks to be somewhat one dimensional. And Cedar Point and Great Adventure have REALLY boring queue lines that you end up waiting in for hours which isn't a great use of your day if you ask me.

It won the Golden Ticket for Best Park in the World.

Never. Dollywood just does family coasters different. A mine train may have topped this at some point. I know that happened on my Energylandia video

@@AirtimeThrills And if you did Islands of Adventure I’d guess Hagrid’s would be 50/50 to top that list?

You are clairvoyant

I have a cedar fair mistakes video out there

Nevermind...I found it on the playlist. Good stuff.

I use drop when i have that stat available

@@AirtimeThrills I got you. Thanks man.

Dont be lazy mom why are you sleeping in the middle of the afternoon

@@AirtimeThrills great video though, I want to go there someday

Thats right

Everything is awesome

That's good! Btw, sad I didn't see you at arieforce one media day, do you know when you'll be back in Atlanta?

No plans as of now but doesnt mean i wont end up there

Ok

No they aren’t

Which ones do you have different? I pulled most of them off rcdb but a couple i went to another source if it wasn't listed

@AirtimeThrills Thunderhead is 55mph, Dragonflier is the same as FireChaser at 34.5, and Tornado hits 70mph. I was a Trainer and Team Lead in the park, and all of these speeds are stated in the recorded spiels at each ride.
