I am going to be planning a trip to Dollywood this April or May. I know that Lightning Rod had a pretty sketchy youth as far as reliability and operating days, but I haven't heard too much about it as of last season. I am nervous about planning a trip just to visit the park and arriving to a closed Lightning Rod. Of course there are other coasters I am very excited about, but Lightning Rod is the spotshit. The visit will most likely be a Thursday-Friday.
My question is: does anybody know how consistent Lightning Rod is these days?
