Title: Trip Report
Post by: sdcforever on July 27, 2009, 08:27:57 AM
Theme Park Review has posted a new trip report that's pretty interesting.  It has an up close look at the new SkyZip, as well as behind the scenes photos of Mystery Mine and Blazing Fury.

I enjoyed seeing this theme park review trip report of Dollywood...I was humored when seeing the Blazing Fury shots of the cemetery inside the ride...a headstone has Kevin McPhail's name on it! Kevin worked at both SDC's Tennessee and Missouri, in the 1970s and 1980s. Kevin was one of our diving bell maitenenace men for years. His photo is in my Flickr photos in the area of the diving bell shots...he and Russ Maulden are pictured in the diving bell control room surrounded by the computers. I was glad to see Kevin was "honored and immortalized" by having his name on something at a ride. Of course, you see the same thing all over the park at SDC, MO.
