I rode this a few years ago. Fun coaster. Anyone been to Dollywood? HollyGolightly king family fan
Yes! We rented a house in the mountains for a week around there in 2006 - it was my favorite vacation - even better than the beach, and we spent 2 days at Dollywood. That's a great theme park - not crowded like the Orlando parks. My husband and oldest daughter were on that roller coaster and it stopped - I'm glad I wasn't on it. I think they had to pull them in backwards - I can't remember the whole story. We had such a great time - I'd like to be there in October for the leaves changing color.

I think it was rated the friendliest, cleanest, and safest park in the country. I enjoyed the three times I visited and I have been to the Smoky Mountains a dozen times. October is a busy time but worth it.

The scenery shown in the background is from the isle of Arran, where Andy used to live and where we got married.

The female singer is named Tara Westover who wrote a book called "Educated".

I'm going to order this book from our library today.

Educated by Tara Westover
I have a copy of that book on my desk that I've been meaning to read. We got it from the publisher hoping for a blurb. She has a beautiful voice to match the beautiful scenery. Now I have another place to add to my travel bucket list!

I hope you get to go there! It has been described as "Scotland in miniature"
