Lightning Rod Replacing its Launch with a Chain Lift in 2024 | Why this is a Good Change

It's no secret, Lightning Rod has been a royal pain to experience ever since opening. This roller coaster opened at Dollywood in 2016 as the world's tallest, fastest, and first launched wood coaster. While the park has made a series of changes to this RMC coaster over the years, it is still an unreliable ride. So in 2024, the park is replacing the LSM launch with a chain lift. This is my favorite coaster, so I was a bit nervous it would get a change this extensive, but in this video, I will explain why I think it's a good change!
