I'll say this - the ride op looked just like a cross between Santa Claus and an good ol' mountain man, which immediately made my experience awesome.
One thing I find interesting about this particular wave swinger is that I was actually able to kick the tip of a twig on an oak tree planted near the ride. You'd think that they would trim those occasionally, or prepare for people like me with long legs, but that was amusing.
The ride cycle was actually rather nice, and it seemed to last much longer than I thought it would. It's one of the better flats at Dollywood, it seems. The landscaping and ride detailing was quite nice, as immaculate as ever in one of the greatest parks known to man.
