Joel Manby, I knew his name rang a bell. He did an "Undercover Boss" I think it was at Silver Dollar City.
I think it would be hard to come across as that genuine repeatedly as Joel appears to, and not genuinely care about your parks/visitors and that seems to show along with Dolly in how much it makes you want to visit. Not just for the rides, but for what looks like a wonderful atmosphere.
Looks a fantastic place, and 300m of investment over ten years - eclipsing Merlin (supposed 2nd biggest theme park operator?) will see this park become a world class destination.
Dollywood?
You're doing it right.
And that family coaster makes me excited and brings that kid like wonder out in you again!!
I'd love to visit this place!

The whole park is beautiful, so no matter how many images of Wild Eagle are thrown in my direction I still wouldn't change my mind. Obviously I wouldn't turn my nose down at Wild Eagle but Firechaser Express is just an adorable little roller coaster that I'd want to give a hug if it was in human form. It's a great looking family coaster with plenty of care and effort invested into it, surrounded by a stunning location and I simply can't say no to that.

Maybe not, but there are dozens of them in Europe, from the Puy du Fou to Efteling, most within very easy and cheap access of us Brits. If you live in large swathes of the world, especially South East Asia and South America, it's impossible to get to any good parks!

Coaster Force have uploaded a POV of FireChaser Express

I was surprised at how long it is! Looks like a fun little coaster to be honest, the backwards launch scene is done particularly well
