Remember how Dollywood announced that Lightning Rod would not be opening on time due to extended ride commissioning? Good news, the wait is over! Early this morning, the commissioning was officially brought to an end, and the ride soft opened at the park today.
A limited number of guests were given the chance to ride the record-breaking wooden coaster, including Twitter user Matthew Stone:
