Yes, they're definitely similar! I really would love to visit both of them. It's a shame Dollywood took their advertising down to Six Flags' level. But anyway, they are definitely very similar.

^^ Oh, yeah, he's right. Six Flags uses shots from other coasters to advertise a new coaster.

^Ok. Like I said how has Dollywood taken there advertising down to Six Flags level? Because: 1. They have bill boards advertising there rides and festivals (and even two on the parkway as you leave advertising for next years.) 2. There website is updated on a regular basis and I mean some time ever single day (with very few air's unlike "sis" flags as I have seen on one of there sites.) 3. They have a website devoted to next years addition www.mysterymine.com4. They have local tv and radio advertisements for rides and festivals. 5. There public relations manager Pete Owens has an account on www.thrillnetwork.com to help keep people more informed. 6. Dolly Parton has mentions it all the time in interviews and on shows that she appears on. 7. They have a normal brochure then one for each individual festival that is distributed to all rest areas in Tennessee that you pass on your way to Dollywood. 8. They advertise in the official Tennessee travel guide. Along with other area advertising books So really I'm curious how is Dollywood and Six Flags advertisement on the same level?

Not on all levels, but on that level, (concerning Thunderhead) they are. It's not a bad thing, at least the two coasters are similar.

I didn't say that, I said that they didn't use an actual picture of Thunderhead, they used a picture of Ozark Wildcat. Six Flags does the same thing with their coasters. They advertised (I think) greatly for the ride. They just didn't use actual pictures of the ride. Even after it opened. EDIT: Here's a link: dollywood.com/rides-attractions/ride-detail.aspx?AttractionID=70

^Ok that's what your talking about. I understand now.
But Six Flags did it in a commercial which that is not hard to get a shot of a coaster for a commercial. Dollywood at least talks about what is actually on the screen at the time.
But I'm not sure why Dollywood does it either unless it just may be harder to get a picture of Thunderhead up close because it looks like the Ozark Wildcat was staged and up close. And it's definitely not because there lazy because all the pictures they use for the Country Fair are there's and they were just added last year. And there already have two picture on there site for this year's new Christmas show "Babes In Toyland." So other than it may be hard to hard to get a good looking shot to use for advertisment I don't know why they use the Ozark Wildcat.

Well I just went to www.bransonsilverdollarcity.com and the first picture that pops up with the title An Old Time Christmas is Dollywood's Scott (forgot his last name) who performs in Dollywood's shows during the summer and Christmas seasons. And you know it is Dollywood because it is taken infront of the Angel Tree where the water fountain is.
