FireChaser Express • Dollywood

Theming Launch Fun

Fun ride with a nice launch. The forces on the backwards launch made my whole body jerk forward. Nice theming too; I love firefighters, since a high school classmate of mine was one.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun

This is a great family multi launch with some good pops of airtime and decent turns as well as very solid theming and a pretty forceful backwards launch.

Theming Fun Layout Intensity

As far as family coasters go this is one of my favorite. It’s a family coaster so the forces it has aren’t too strong, but it has 2 fun launches including a backwards launch, some enjoyable floater moments and some nice turns and s bends. It’s also a long ride with a nice location and great theming plus on ride effects. Definitely just a plain fun ride.

Airtimes Fun

This ride is very fun and is underrated. The Launches are fun and it even has a good airtime moment. Great family coaster.

Another awesome surprise at Dollywood. It is a family ride. So, I wasn't expecting much at all. I love going backwards and I had no idea that this did that. I only wish it did it for longer. Excellent theming and theatrics to boot. The ride itself is decent enough--obviously not too terribly fast or thrilling, but definitely not a total bore fest. Of course, it is comfortable and smooth. Overall, way, way better than a typical mine train, "family" coaster or any of the compact kiddie coasters out there. It does more than just provide a lame ride to entertain the kiddos, it is good enough and unique enough to entertain even seasoned coaster fanatics. Perhaps the best family coaster I have ever ridden.

Comfort Pace Intensity

色々な動きをしますが、だからと言ってめちゃくちゃ面白いわけではありませんので。

Launch Fun Duration

I’m rating these rides for what they are intended as. What a great family ride. Long ride makes the wait worth it. Going backwards for such a long time is a new feeling and experience. Fun fun fun

Theming Nice surprise! Dead spots Intensity

Firechaser is a very fun family coaster. It has some nice force in the launches which is a surprise but most of the ride is pretty forceless which is fine considering it’s a family coaster. By far the best part of the ride though is the theming, it has some really nice set pieces including a very cool backwards launch scene.

Theming Disappointing! Dead spots

FireChaser Express was a little underwhelming. It's longer than it needs to be. This leads to a lot of pointless moments. FireChaser Express does have some good moments. The backwards section is very fun. There are a few moments of great positive g's. FireChaser Express isn't supposed to be Dollywood's finest. It's just a fine family coaster with some very good theming.

Theming Launch Fun

My two favorite steel family coasters are this and Cobras Curse. They both execute what a family coaster is supposed to do perfectly. A well themed, not too intense ride with some fun moments that everyone can enjoy. On this ones it’s the two launches and a few moments with some decent airtime. A great family coaster.

Theming Launch Pace Capacity

FireChaser Express is a surprisingly punchy and enjoyable family coaster. The launches’ sheer force surprised me — as while 16mph in 1.6 seconds right out of the station may not sound fast or intense, it actually pulled some DECENT G’s! A few pops of airtime here or there are also present, along with the fun section of S-bends right before the second launch. Theming is also very prevalent on this coaster with several passes through former zipline structures, the midcourse show scene and a cool firehouse-inspired station. However, capacity is a major issue on this coaster; while Dollywood staff are efficient at operating this ride lines can get long quickly. Only three 14-person trains run on the course at a time, limiting capacity to 750 riders per hour. This is definitely a family coaster worth a good wait, but I’d avoid anything over forty minutes.

Nice surprise!

Not very intense family coaster with a few surprises during the ride.

Nice surprise! Fun
