Kentucky Rumbler surprised me. I really enjoyed that one. I just wish Beech Bend wasn't so dirty.
Diamondback is Diamonbae.

Hmm...top ones I'd say are Outlaw Run, Boss, T Express, Expedition Geforce, Phantom's Revenge, Voyage, and maybe Formula Rossa for the speed since it's consistently thrilling to me on rides like Kingda Ka and Millennium Force. Pyrenees and Nemesis are also pretty intriguing, as is Ispeed. Last one I can think of is Dodonpa, mostly for what I'm sure is the most intense launch in the world, though the speed and crazy tophat help too.

Outlaw Run was fun, but a little overrated. I was expecting a bit more from it, but I actually did have a blast on it.

There doesn't have to be a reason to go back to Dollywood. Ever. It is by far one of the best parks in the world and I had so much fun there!

Phantom's Revenge is perfect. If you love speed, definitely go for it in the front - that 2nd drop through Thunderbolt is unlike anything else! :D

RCT3Rox, I do love speed, but for that ride in particular I'd try back row first. The most important parts for me are the large and/or surprise drops in the layout, whereas a ride like Millennium Force focuses on high speeds over drops (minus the first) so I prefer front on that ride. Obviously I'd do front row next though :P
