This is a great long, smooth, and whippy family coaster. Airtime is non-existent, but that’s not the point…it’s a fun, terrain-hugging blast! My only complaint really is that they clear cut every tree around it, and it makes it look so barren compared to the lush treecover of most of the park. Dollywood isn’t a “parking lot coaster” park, so I hate BBM feels a little like it was plopped in a barren landscape.

I’ve ridden both launch and non-launch versions, and while the launch was more fun, the chain-lift didn’t take away from how incredible this ride is. It’s a little short, and the capacity is somewhat lacking, but it’s a masterpiece of a coaster. The quad-down at the end is ridiculously intense and fun. Plus, for first-time riders and non-enthusiasts, the majority of the coaster is hidden behind a hill…they have no idea what is waiting for them which adds an element of surprise (shock?) for first-time riders.

This Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster is way more intense than you would assume. The seats are comfy, so that’s nice. However, theming is very weak by Dollywood standards and it has single train ops which makes wait times unexpectedly LONG. It’s a skip unless the line is short.

This may be my favorite coaster. The pre-drop, turn, and first-drop through the mountainside is my favorite drop of all time. The entire first drop gives you sustained airtime into an intense loop. The other 2 inversions are very intense as well. The setting is one of the most naturally beautiful of any coaster. It’s smooth for an Arrow…it has that “heavy” Arrow feel (to me) that makes it seem “old school” vs. the slick, modern feel of B&Ms. Is it too short? Technically, yes. But what makes it a gem is on paper it doesn’t seem like much, but it packs a punch in the short length. It doesn’t have time to have dead spots or disappoint you. You get off TT and think “Wow, that was way better than I assumed!” It’s simply a fun coaster. Plus, the line is typically pretty short.
