My family rode this for the first time tonight. My 12 yr old brother had ridden it before, but my mom and other brother and I had not, and had NO idea what we were getting ourselves into. It was dark out when we got on and we didn’t realize there was a whole 3/4 of the coaster you can’t see from the bottom. Let me tell you somethin. I did not open my eyes or scream ONCE during this ride because I was so petrified with fear that I was limp and praying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 my older brother and mom were traumatized. If you need to remember what it feels like to believe the good lord, I HIGHLY recommend riding this for the first time in the dark. Forgot I was raised religious till dolly reminded me by the grace of the lightning rod #shutupandpray

After riding the ride I felt like I was in another dimension and just had nothing to say about it except it was awsome

[DamfinoMR]

The fact that you think you're going to slowly climb the first hill and then you just accelerate hard, slow down and instantly hit an inverted drop is a truly terrifying feeling. Great ride!

I rode this ride today and it’s intense and extremely fast! So far, it’s one of the best coasters I’ve ridden!

[johnblundy]

I rode this ride in real life and I felt reborn after it

[kaleyyates]

This was my first roller coaster that I ever rode. I blacked out after we went over the first hill so this was helpful to me to figure out what actually happened.

This video BARELY does this monster justice! Nothing like experiencing how fast this thing really is. The gravity is so intense that you can't think and have to catch your breath! I rode it yesterday and I'm still a little dizzy. Definitely did not expect it to be that crazy. There were two little kids sitting in front of me and I honestly think they didn't know what hit em! They were speechless and wild-eyed after.

I've been on alot of rollercoasters but I rode this 15 times yesterday and I had a smile on my face the whole ride it's insane

[angelar]

Just went to Dollywood this past weekend and started with the lightening Rod ...after that I could do ANYTHING! Awesome ride!

[Blurical]

This ride was so worth the wait ngl. That pre-drop gives you so much airtime and the rest of the ride feels like an airtime machine. Even though this thing breaks down a lot, it's really worth it.

I have been to 7 different theme parks in my life but this roller coaster has to be the best one I have ridden yet! It’s crazy as hell

[AdventurousJoe]

Best rollercoaster at Dollywood!!, so much fun! Its way more intense in person. The video doesnt do it justice.

[brycet.]

best pov i have ever seen of this coaster its not shaky or and the audio is the best.

[Cyrix]

This coaster is my favorite coaster by far, the air time on this ride is insane! Love it!!

[eccentricgamer]

Wow, this is one of the best POVs I've ever seen of Lightning Rod. Very nice job. :)

[elizabethsullivan]

This ride is FAST!!! I've been riding coasters all my life. This is the ONLY ride that I felt like I might actually throw up! And then I rode it like five more times that day lol

[Jeremy_Lepak_PuppetMan]

Reminds me of RCT3 when you can make the chain lift super fast.

[connorhill]

I rode this at night during their Christmas event after waiting an hour and 30 minutes. Worth 👏 It 👏

[ronniecorcoran]

If you ride this at night when it’s completely dark, you will not regret it. Puts the ride on a completely different level. Great video.

[baileythompson]

I rode Thunderhead right after I rode this and Lightning Rod made Thunderhead feel like a children's coaster! lol
