The plan was that my trip to
Six Flags Over Georgia in early November was to be my last park visit
of the season but when the producers of the HDTV show "Magnificent
Obsessions" approached me about being the subject of a show they
threw in a trip to Dollywood in order to get some footage of me on Thunderhead.
So the first weekend of December
we headed to Dollywood for a morning shoot on Thunderhead and a day
at the park. Dollywood didn't open until eleven and we were there
well before that so for a while we had the Timber Canyon area of the
park to ourselves.
While we waited for temperatures
to get above forty degrees (the minimum temperature they'll run a coaster
in) the crew got some nice footage of Thunderhead itself.
For early December we had a
gorgeous day to film with plentiful sunlight and the fact that it wasn't
freezing outside.
