BEES on roller coasters?

I'm not afraid of bunnies and Rick Astley. That's pretty much it.

In all seriousness, I guess it's just cause it's been a while (3 years) since I've been on any major rides and I'm a lil antsy. And things like swarming wasps and launch coasters ARE pretty intimidating. :D

So I guess a spin on Dorney Park's Stinger is out of the question...

Steel Venom, baby!

I notice that many people are making puns yet none of them are getting upvoted...

That's because Gonch is the flagship jokester, so we have to periodically withhold vote-ups for other members to protect his status.

Puns are the lowest form of humor.

I should have replied with:

Puns are the lowest forum humor.

See what I did there? *snicker*

You guys... so silly... :D

I decided to email Dollywood to get the official low-down. Got a fast reply from a very nice lady, who said the WE is the only coaster currently affected. I guess the bees tend to head towards the tallest structure they can find. So as long as the other rides are clear, we'll keep our plan to visit DW next week. I may have to cry a little if I can't ride WE, but... gotta look on the bright side.

^Since when are we abbreviating Wild Eagle as "WE"? I had to go to RCDB to know what ride you were talking about, which took a lot more time for me than it would have for you to type out "Wild Eagle."

I thought it was a cable channel for women...

I'm so ashamed of my laziness... so ashamed...

I'm afraid of your laziness.

Actually, forget about it. I can't think of any other coaster at Dollywood that would carry that apt abbreviation.

I just thought it meant we were having a lot of fun. WEEE!

Not to be confused with Wii: the Ride.

Or having a wee.

Or comparing sizes of each other's wee-wees.

I make big wees and little wees. Depends on how much I drank.

I like to listen to a wee bit of Weezer.

I'm sorry.

Wait, pre-Beverly Hills or post?

That's an important distinction, right there.
