 Review of Timber Tower @ Dollywood
-1 Rating Posted by: woofboy111 on 7/16/2006 12:22:00 PM
I always find it disappointing when a theme park puts in a "major attraction" that turns out to be a ride that has the potential to be found in any traveling carnival (although Ive never seen this particular ride in a fair). This goes for any park, whether it be Dollywood or Disney. This ride looked like it could have been folded up and fit into two semi-trucks minus the theming. The ride itself wasnt all that thrilling either. It lifted you up slowly, started spinning you around slowly, and then began tilting slowly. I think the finalie of the ride was supposed to be when the fountains surrounding the ride got high enough to touch a few of the riders feet. That was the "you WILL get wet" part of the ride. Timber tower also had only one ride attenedant helping load everyone into the ride, so it went very slowly. Like 5 to 10 minutes between each ride cycle. The ride itself sucked, but Im giving it a few points for the very basic theming that was added (spitting beavers and bear noises).

I keep commenting on your reviews, but this is my home park and I would od this to any one. I also thought that this ride was disappointing, but Dollywoods site said that they "tweaked the ride to make it better". Im going later this week to see if the changes, if any, made this ride better. From what your review said, Its gotten worse. I remember seeing people getting absolutely soaked by the jets when I was waiting in line. Unfortunately, I didnt get wet. Now you say that it touched a few riders feet. Also they do need to get another attendent to help load/unload people. It takes way to much time.

Yep. When I was riding the beavers gave a little tiny spray, and then the fountains got about a quarter of the disks riders sneakers soggy. Nobody got soaked like you said while I was watching while waiting on line or on the ride. This was last Wednesday, so I guess thats after they altered the ride.

What a shame. Now I wish that they never would have tweaked it.
