A Thrilling Adventure at Dollywood

Hey there, thrill-seekers and amusement park enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the exhilarating world of Dollywood, the beloved amusement park nestled in the heart of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Join me as we explore the adrenaline-pumping roller coasters and share some unforgettable moments of fun with our beloved grandsons. So strap yourselves in, hold on tight, and let the adventure begin!

Welcome to Dollywood!
Nestled in the scenic Smoky Mountains, Dollywood is a magical destination that combines the charm of the Appalachian region with thrilling rides and world-class entertainment. It's the perfect place to create lasting memories with your grandsons and let loose with a dose of adventure.

The 2 youngest grandsons INSISTED
on riding in the first car every time !

The Need for Speed:  Roller Coasters at Dollywood:

The Lightning Rod.  Brace yourself for an electrifying experience on the world's fastest wooden coaster, Lightning Rod. With speeds reaching up to 73 miles per hour, this coaster guarantees an adrenaline rush like no other. Feel the wind in your hair and let out screams of excitement as you navigate the twists and turns of this gravity-defying ride.

The Wild Eagle.  Soar like a majestic bird on the wings of the Wild Eagle, Dollywood's first wing coaster. As you glide through the sky at speeds of up to 61 miles per hour, the sensation of flying combined with stunning views of the Smokies will leave you breathless. Prepare for a sensation that's both thrilling and awe-inspiring.

(When I have my grandsons with me, their safety always comes first.  The Wild Eagle looked like a terrifying ride -- and it was, but both Middle and Youngest grandsons wanted to ride.  I got in line with them with the plan to share their ride.  When we made it to the front of the line, we realized only two people could ride at the same time.  The grandsons went solo.  I rode with the next guy in line.  Screamed throughout the entire ride.  Such fun!)

The Tennessee Tornado.  Hold on tight as the Tennessee Tornado sends you spinning and twisting through the mountains at a heart-pounding speed of 70 miles per hour. This steel coaster will leave you grinning from ear to ear as it takes you on an adrenaline-fueled journey of loops, corkscrews, and unexpected drops.

(And the Tennessee Tornado is the culprit that caused consort to seek the nearest trashcan upon exiting the roller coaster.  In his defense, he had just consumed about a quart of soda before starting the ride.)


I think the grandsons' eyes lit up more over food
and less over favorite characters.

Fun with Grandsons: Memories in the Making:

Wow!! Through the entire blog I was thinking “ Kathy is an incredible writer!” All the adjectives and adverbs made the blog exciting. I also was thinking you need to do some affiliate marketing with Dollywood!! FYI; I didn’t use AI to write these comments!😂

You have plenty of intelligence—AI is interesting (and a bit scary), but I love your heartfelt humor and human-ness in your writing!
