First, a quick backstory. Exactly three years ago I was fortunate enough to visit Dollywood for the first time in my life. Needless to say, I loved it! One thing I still remember is when the ten year old me looked off into a big pile of dirt. A big pile of dirt that would soon become Dollywood's signature coaster. As I gazed, my mind pictured what the layout of the new coaster would soon look like. About a month after my trip, Wild Eagle was announced! Sadly, I wasn't able to visit in 2012, or the following year when “River Rush” was the big thing. However, I have been very fortunate this year because not one, but two new coasters have been built since my previous visit! I apologize in advance for my amateur photography skills. Just keep in mind that I'm a thirteen year old with an iPhone camera. With that out of the way, here is my trip!
After hours of listening to Coldplay and Radiohead as we drove through the mountains, we arrived at the park.
Such a lovely entrance!
After we entered, my sister and I headed straight for our favorite ride from last time...
Barnstormer! Definitely one of my favorite flat rides I've ever ridden! As most of you know, the great theming adds to the ride experience, resulting in an awesome attraction.
Anyways, with Barnstormer done, we began walking to our next ride:
Although the line felt like an eternity, I enjoyed the ride!
Next up, the Tennessee Tornado, Dollywood's arrow looper... ewwww.
Strangely, the ride was very smooth!
After that, it was time to get in line for Dollywood's new attraction, Firechaser Express!
My review: 10/10! Everything from the theming to the overall ride experience was spectacular! And to be honest, the ride is much faster than it looks in the POV videos. Definitely a wise addition!
To be continued...
