Dollywood Theme Park in Pigeon Forge TN

The Scrambler is an old favorite. It has been around for a long time but spinning around and being tossed from one side of the ride to the other is just a thrill at any age.

The Village Carousel is still one of the most popular rides in the park. Just the Nostalgic feel that it brings with 60 painted animals and the Calliope Music make for a fun event for all.

Bumper Cars are a family favorite and it is always such a joy to try to run in to each other in the Demolition Derby at Dollywood Theme Park.

Take a ride on the Authentic Coal-fired Steam Engine Train, the Dollywood Express for a 20 minute mountain ride around 5 miles of track layed out at the base of the Smoky Mountains. No matter what your age, the fascination of an old Steam Powered Locomotive is great fun for all.

The Swings are a traditional Country Fair ride but will always bring enjoyment to those who ride it. The Waltzing Swinger hoists riders 25 feet up and swings you around in a single or double swing. Definitely a crowd favorite at Dollywood.

There is no better thrill for a young kid than to think they are driving long before they are 16. That is right, this is exactly what they will do at the Rockin’ Roadway in Dollywood.

This is a fun ride for the whole family.

8 Riders on each side of the swing, allowing a total of 16 guests at a time, the Barnstormer swings you like a Pendulum back and forth reaching a full 45 miles an hour through the final swings. It is a great thrill even for the younger kids.

It might not hold this title for long (because all records are bound to be broken) but as of its debut in 2016, the Lightning Rod, Wooden Roller Coaster in Dollywood is the fastest Wooden Roller Coaster ever built. Not only is it fast, it is a Launch Coaster which is not what you think of when getting on a Wooden ride. Taking you up 20 stories on the first hill and getting up to 45 mph at the top, your airtime starts here and doesn’t stop until the end of the 3,800 feet of track. Hitting a top speed of 73 mph, it is easily the fastest Wooden Coaster in the World!

The Mystery Mine is a suspenseful, steel roller coaster that runs through a dark mine shaft where you start your climb straight up, actually at 95 degrees, heading out on the remaining 1,800 foot of track. This is not for the weak at heart mind you but if you dare and are up to the thrilling challenge, the Mystery Mine is a great coaster for enthusiasts.

A great way to break the younger kids in on their first Roller Coaster experience is to take them on the FireChaser Express. This small steel coaster is smooth and does not have any loops. After getting them on this one, they might be ready to tackle some of the larger rides in the park, if they are tall enough, that is.

Thunderhead is not your everyday normal wooden roller coaster, it is smooth and fast dropping at 100 feet and getting up to 55 mpg, this is not one to be trifled with. Take a chance if you dare on the amazing Thunderhead Wooden Roller Coaster at Dollywood.

Ride on the edge of your seat, quite literally, on the Wild Eagle steel Roller Coaster in Dollywood. The unique seating of this ride was shown first in the Wild Eagle in the United States.

You might think you are heading out on a River Rafting ride but the River Battle never leaves the station. You are placed in one of the 8 person rafts and each person has there own Super Soaker battling with the other rafts afloat.

On hot day, there is nothing that will get you cooled off faster than the Smoky Mountain River Rampage! All of the exciting dips and turns as well as water falls and splashing from the rapids, this is a great and exciting time and one to be shared with family.
