CoasterForce | Lightning Rod front seat on-ride Comparison (2016, 2019, 2021, 2024) @coasterforce | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
DISCLAIMER: All 4 POVs were filmed in different weather conditions, at different times of day, and at different times of year. This comparison is not meant to be scientifically accurate, but to provide a general idea of how the ride has changed over the years.

This RMC (Rocky Mountain Construction) hybrid coaster opened in 2016 as a wooden coaster, but during the 2020/2021 off-season much of the original Topper Track was replaced with steel IBox Track. Problems with the original LSM (Linear Synchronous Motor) launched lift hill then forced the park to replace it during the 2023/2024 off-season with a high-speed chain lift hill. This video is a comparison of our various POVs of the ride over the years.
Dollywood is located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
