My family and I were lucky enough to visit Dollywood on two separate days in May, a week after Big Bear opened. My daughter and I got to ride it twice during daylight hours after almost one hour waits each time. We definitely had to hold on most of the time, especially during the launches. We appreciated the length of the ride, the smoothness, and the on-ride audio. We unfortunately didn't get to see it at night.
Also, my daughter, wife, and I enjoyed Thunderhead and rode it twice in a row with a 5 min wait each time. It was both smooth and intense and is now a top wood coaster for me.
