I know I'm super late to this thread but just wanted to say that I'm excited for this new coaster coming to SF Great Escape! I visited this park a couple of times as a kid and really enjoyed it. The Comet was one of my earliest coaster experiences with my Dad egging me on to ride it - I wasn't disappointed! It's been some time since I've visited. I'll have to get back once the new coaster is open.
I was so lucky to be able to ride Lightning Rod for the first time a total of 4 times over 2 days this past May at Dollywood. It was up and down constantly both days. It will be interesting to compare the lift hill change the next time I visit.
Well, that definitely will make Lightning Rod less unique. But I get it. I went to the park once specifically to ride LR (I'm not form the area) and it was down. Major disappointment. Even though I really wanted to try it, I hesitated to go back. Knowing it will likely be running, I'll consider going bak to Dollywood now.
