RMC Lightning Rod blazes new terrain at Dollywood
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn.
— After numerous setbacks,
Lightning Rod appears to have
opened at Dollywood. Most
recently, park offi cials have
described the wooden launch
coaster's status as being in “tech-
nical ride rehearsal” (an op-
erational mode that lets riders
know that they will have an op-
portunity to ride, however the
ride might close to allow adjust-
ment for optimal operation).
Dollywood’s planning cycle
typically starts about two years
before a new ride attraction
opens. Jukebox Junction was the
location in the park that was se-
lected. Amusement Today asked
why that particular location:
“We were looking for a ride that
would fi t the 1950s theme of the
area, provide a family thrill expe-
rience and would bring another
superlative to the park,” said
Pete Owens, director of com-
munications for the Dollywood
Companies. He continued, “In
Lightning Rod we achieved two
— fi rst wooden launch coaster
and fastest wooden coaster.”
When asked why this type of
roller coaster was selected, Ow-
ens said, “Thematically, a wood
coaster made the most sense,
and the design best utilized the
unique terrain we have in the
best way. The launch and the col-
lection of elements in this ride
design were all factors.”
Rocky Mountain Construc-
tion was the manufacturer of
choice due to its track record of
innovative designs. “RMC’s pat-
ented track technology and the
capability it adds to the design
elements, were key factors,” Ow-
ens said. “If you add Alan Schil-
ke’s knowledge of our park (he
designed Tennessee Tornado for
Arrow) and his understanding of
what we wanted to provide our
customer, RMC was the choice.”
The control system por-
tion of the new attraction was
handled by Irvine Ondrey Engi-
neering. “We had been in touch
with Rocky Mountain Construc-
tion since IAAPA the year before
on their need of a control system
engineering fi rm. And given the
size of the project, and the desire
