Dollywood Rides Will Put the Thrill in Your Vacation!

There are many types of Dollywood rides to entertain all members of your family. There are roller coasters, water rides, family rides and kiddie rides. You also can visit a country fair with all the Fair games and rides you would find at your own County Fair. And a must ride would be the award winning Roller Coaster “Thunderhead”!




Here is a breakdown of some of the most popular of the Dollywood rides:

Mountain Slidewinder

Your adventure begins as you climb through the actual mountain terrain on your way to boarding this water toboggan thriller. The Mountain Slidewinder literally slides down the mountainside along high-banked curves at breathtaking speeds.





Timber Tower

This ride is fairly new, just opening in 2006. Costing about 6.5 million dollars, Timber Tower is the first and only ride of its kind in North America. The Tower is 65 feet tall. Situated in the middle of a large pond, passengers are taken to the top of the tower and then the tower begins to sway, rock and rotate as if it is falling into the pond. Chances are good that you will get wet on this Dollywood ride and you'll certainly have fun!





Blazing Fury

This is an indoor roller coaster that takes you through an 1880 town that is on fire. You’ll be recruited to help put out the fire. Of course the best way to put out a fire is with plenty of water! Yes, you will get wet! The animated sets of the town on fire are very entertaining.





Dollywood Express

Close your eyes and let the Dollywood Express take you back in time when the train was the only way to get in and out of the mountains. This authentic 110 pound coal fired steam engine train will take you through the scenic mountains surrounding Dollywood. The five mile journey will deliver some wonderful views of the Smoky Mountains.







Tennessee Tornado

A huge tornado swept through an old Tennessee Mining Company and twisted the ore into what we now know as the Tennessee Tornado. This triple loop roller coaster will take you down a 128 foot drop through an actual mountain at speeds of over 70 MPH.





The Thunderhead

The Thunderhead Roller Coaster is the wildest ride in the woods! This coaster is located between two mountains. This wooden roller coaster takes you on a daring ride which includes a drop of 100 feet and top speeds of 55 MPH. The ride is highlighted by the world’s first “fly through” station where the coaster comes through the station on a track 8 feet above the loading platform giving the guests a preview of what is to come.





Daredevil Falls

Daredevil Falls is a super flume ride. Passengers begin their ride at the base camp and as they travel down the river they encounter many obstacles during this almost 4 minute ride. As they narrowly escape a spinning saw blade at the end, their boat is diverted to a reject log channel which propels them over the river falls and into the pond below.





Smoky Mountain River Rampage

If you have wanted to experience the thrill of white water rafting in the Smoky Mountains, you can do so on this Dollywood ride! The Smoky Mountain River Rampage is full of dips, turns, twists and a good soaking as you run the rapids.





Smoky Mountain Wilderness Adventure Tour

This indoor simulator ride will take you on an adventure that you won’t forget! Dolly’s cousin Clovis invented an all terrain vehicle to view the Smokies. He takes Dolly as the tour guide and you can ride along as the two encounter one adventure after another as you take in all the beautiful surroundings of the Smoky Mountains on your trip.





Wonder Wheel

Every midway of any county fair has a Ferris wheel. Dollywood is no exception as you enjoy riding on this 60 foot high wheel. It will give you a birds eye view of the park.





Dizzy Disk

Get ready to get dizzy! This ride will take you back and forth, going higher and higher while at the same time spinning in circles. No wonder they call it the Dizzy Disk!





New!
Mystery Mine

Opened in Spring of 2007. This is a $17.5 million steel roller coaster ride that takes place in an abandoned mine. The ride will handle 1,000 riders an hour.
