Welcome to ACE's Smoky Mountain Coaster Con at Dollywood
This is the 25th Anniversary of Dollywood
It's so neat to be here at Christmas time
We're headed to our first destination of the day
We had early morning ERT on Blazing Fury
We were all given these cool lunch boxes with our breakfast in them
We then took a group photo. Yep, there were a lot in attendance today
I decided to explore Adventure Mountain ropes course next
I had a little bit of time before our tour so I rode Tornado a couple of times
It is really a lot of fun
Next it was time for our construction tour of Barnstormer
This will be a new themed area replacing Dreamland Forest
This will be another S&S swing ride much like the Giant Barn Swing
They had the project's manager on site to answer questions
This will be a nice addition to the park
I guess I'll need to make a return trip to check this out
Time to take a joy ride in my Barbie pink Chevy
Time to ride a world class wooden coaster - THUNDERHEAD
Time to run all over the mountainside
You basically hold on for dear life once you crest the lift hill
The newest star attraction of the park is the Mystery Mine
I love the train here.
They have some very nice decorations at the park
This is on the park's lake
This tree is where the park's fountain usually is located
Wilderness Church
Showstreet looks amazing at night
Heading into Craftsman Valley
I had a great time today at Dollywood - it's beautiful here during Christmas
