 Fun servers happen to be my favorite flat ride out there. The SNS, uh, what do they call it again? Scrumencing. Scrumencing. Anthony, what are you most excited about? Cinnamon bread? What about you, Apex? Lightning rod. Lightning rod? Okay. Me too. Although I'm really excited for mystery mine and my terrible driving, we just cut someone off. But that's okay. We're Canadian. What about you, America? Behind the camera? Oh, Lightning rod. Definitely. Dollywood Express. You know, I was kind of hoping there'd be a Starbucks right here on the way, but it doesn't look like we're going to get that opportunity. I know what I'm saying. Do we arrive 30 minutes early? Or do we go get Starbucks? Starbucks. Starbucks? Yeah. We're on this boat. On what? The mountain. What are you trying to zoom in on? The one at the back. The one at the back's nice. We're looking over there at motels. Hey guys, welcome to Amusement Insiders. Today we're going to be exploring all the great motels in the area. We happen to be staying at one of them actually, and we'll be buying a black bike because we're kind of creeped out by that. Is that, that's the thing where they drop you into a net? No. That is not a sky tower, no. Why is it so ugly? I don't know. It looks like a crane. I think it's a bungee jumping tower. Oh, it looks, yeah, it looks like a crane that they turned into a sky tower. Can you imagine us in an escape room? Oh, it's under construction. That's why. Can you imagine us in an escape room? It's almost like you've done an escape room. Now I feel like it's a terrible person. I just judged something that's not even complete. I'm going to get dragged. Oh my God, Yukon Stryker theming. That's actually not that funny. I'm not going to check that. It's not that funny. Oh, that really is the Yukon Stryker theme, or the signage. Wow. So there's a bunch of, is that one of those like playgrounds they're building? That actually looks pretty cool. Canada is really invading here. Gorgeous though. There's a fire truck for sale back there. Anyone need a fire truck? Fire chaser. Sadra, you need any extra help? Okay, so my friend for some reason doesn't need caffeine in the morning, but can I get a tall hot chocolate? Yeah, yes please. And then I need a large sugar-free vanilla almond milk iced coffee, please. Almond beverage. And then... What size? Are you a kid? I'm kidding. What's a medium size? Can I get a tall vanilla creme frappuccino? Oh, with coffee? No problem. A vanilla creme frappuccino? Without coffee please. And a tall coffee frappuccino? Yes. Can I not have a moment of privacy to like eat and like wake up? No. You're about to take me on Lightningrod. By the way, we'll get the on-ride photo because... Yeah, I don't handle rides well. But neither do you. No. Oh my god. That's gonna be fun. I like the dead bugs. I see how wired it gets. It's literally dead bugs. Yeah, literally you're filming the mountain. It's beautiful, but our windshield's covered in dead bugs, so I don't know how great this footage is gonna turn out. Dollywood's got it together. They have a tram system. They have a tram system. It's beautiful. I like the white picket fence. Now, I will give it a parking lot. It's very, very awkward. I'm okay with that. We're just here to park our cars. Alrighty, so we're finally here at Dollywood. I've been waiting for this like my entire life, it seems. And I couldn't be more excited. So honestly, what I'm looking forward to most is definitely Lightning Rod. I think all of you already know that. The cinnamon bread's up there as well. I'm hearing that I'm absolutely going to love Thunderhead. But what I'm really hoping for is Mystery Mine. I'm hearing it's been down since the park's opened, so I'm a little nervous. But I have a feeling that we will get on it, fingers crossed. But so far this park has blown me absolutely away. And we haven't even entered the park yet. Because the service has been absolutely amazing. This is unmatched to any other park I've been to. Alrighty, we just got off of Lightning Rod. Our first ride ever, second RMC ever. And boy was that thing amazing. The quad down really threw me for a surprise. I wasn't expecting it. Everyone told me it was going to happen. Obviously I knew it was going to happen. We've seen POVs and all that. But it's absolutely amazing when you get on it. I have to say, you're going to get a whole review of Dollywood. I'm beyond blown away. I have to say a huge thank you to Amber for giving us behind the scenes or like VIP tour of the rides and coasters. Super appreciative. Definitely so far my second best coaster in the world that I've ridden. I will say that I think Seal Vengeance is a little bit ahead of it. But in terms of it, it's pretty close. I would put the two pretty side by side. But Seal Vengeance has got that extra little edge to it that this is just missing. If it was maybe slightly longer I could see them competing pretty well. But Lightning Rod is definitely ranking as one of my top coasters I've been on. And we're definitely going to get a rain ride. We're lucky today. We've been told to get on Lightning Rod while it's raining. And it looks like we're going to have that opportunity. So we will be back to give you a review after we go on it in the rain. But for now, this coaster, I'm still in utter shock. I'm going to put a picture in this video of my on-ride reaction. It's going to be quite embarrassing but I'm going to do it anyways. Awesome. Stay tuned. Alright, so as you're going to see in our footage Dollywood is one of the most immersive experiences that I've experienced at a theme park. Yes. Now that's excluding Universal Studios in Disney World but for a theme park that's regional this is beyond impressive. I'm blown away by some of the theme you were saying and this is just an example. Behind me is Barnstormers, a flat ride, a thrill ride that most of your local parks have but our plug and place just has basic attractions. This takes it to the whole next level with David. Why are you making me do that? David, flip the mic. Restart. Alright, I'm just going to keep recording. Alright. Barnstormers happens to be my favorite flat ride out there. The SNS, what do they call it again? Scream and swing. Scream and swing. Alright, try again. We're going to bloopers.
