Timber
1:24
Tower in 2006 this ride opened
1:24
unfortunately it was only open 6 years
1:27
due to technical difficulties and before
1:29
the start of the 2012 season the ride
1:32
was
1:40
closed guest would walk right down this
1:40
que line right through this platform
1:42
right around the edge of the circular
1:45
platform up there and then board the
1:47
timber Tower and be drawn into the sky
1:50
tilting back and forth tilting back and
1:54
forth back and forth back and forth oo
1:58
scary
2:01
that's where you had to wait till they
2:02
called you and then you'd go straight
2:04
forward and prepare to ride right here
2:07
where I'm standing was a platform that
2:08
could hold 40 people and take them
2:11
directly up into the
2:21
air wo going
2:29
up one time in particular there was a
2:29
major technical difficulty and all 40
2:32
people got stuck way up in the air for 6
2:42
hours sadly the ride just did not work
2:45
after 6 years and many many mishaps as
2:48
far as the ride not working they closed
2:51
it down and the ride no longer exists
2:54
but there is a facade and there is the
2:56
story of a lawsuit between Dollywood and
2:59
the creators who built the
3:03
ride watch out you're going to get
3:12
wet a lawsuit was actually settled out
3:12
of court in Dollywood one a pretty good
3:14
amount of money but they still took a
3:15
huge loss on the ride that no longer
3:18
exists and now is just a memory in our
3:27
minds the good thing is that even though
3:27
the ride is gone the whole area the
3:29
facade they built for the ride on the
3:31
attraction in the themed land still
