Admission to Dollywood...

OK, Reg.  I saw you online earlier. Any photos or video to share?

Sorry, no pics.

The Trip was a SUCCESS! I experienced 2 1/2 minutes of totality in Sweetwater, Tennessee. The crowd shouted like crazy when the first "Diamond Ring" began, signaling the beginning of totality and when the second "Diamond Ring" appeared the crowd APPLAUDED!  During totality there was a bonus, a star could be seen to the left of the eclipse. What star was it? It was MY STAR,

REGULUS!
In the roller coaster department Dollywood's Lightning Rod became my 500th roller coaster. Of the four other roller coasters I rode, three of them made my "Top Ten". Here they are (Number One in Parentheses)

Firehouse Express - Steel Non Looping under 100' Number Four (Space Mountain - Magic Kingdom, Fl.)

Mystery Mine - Steel Looping Number Six (Manta - Sea World, Fl.)

Wild Eagle - Steel Looping Number Seven (   "          "       "     ")

And what about the Lightning Rod? In the Wood Out & Back division, as the late Howard Cosell would have said, it went All - The - Way to...

The Undisputed Heavyweight Roller Coaster Champion
                      OF THE WORLD!

 NUMBER ONE!!!
ELIMINATING Holiday World's Voyage by KO  in the first round!

Either post pics or IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Yeah, not even a selfie?    I restrained myself from actually calling male bovine excrement on the whole thing, but I tend to agree with you.  The fact that the star he saw just happened to be Regulus is just gilding the lily.    I was suspecting something when he came up with the dead battery story.  For someone who has been anticipating going to the totality zone that sure is bad planning.
