Tennessee Tornado • Dollywood

First Drop Inversions Intensity Too short Capacity

Tennessee Tornado is a great ride by Arrow loopers’ generally low bar of quality. It has a fun first drop that takes you straight through the hillside, the huge vertical loop and then the two quick and intense inversions following the banked turn. However, right after you exit the sidewinder you pop up into the brakes — the original plan with 6 inversions would’ve been an outstanding coaster, had it been built. This coaster always runs one train, but the lines are generally not very long to begin with.

Inversions Too short

Wow. This was my first big coaster and this thing blew me away. I rode this ride way back when I was 10 and it definitely caught me by surprise. I was scared so I chose the middle. I hadn't really experienced much free fall feeling so the drop made me feel like I was about to die. The first loop is coon and the second immelmun is intense and whippy. The next turn is fun sending you into another loop and then you turn into the breaks.

Pace Intensity Smoothness Too short Airtimes

easily the best arrow looper, it might be really short but it packs a punch, while i think the airtime is overrated, it makes up for it in intensity, you are pinned to ur seat with full force during those final 2 inversions, the coaster also has an outstanding location, good pacing, nice hangtime in that vertical loop and its so smooth, especially for an arrow looper

First Drop Location Intensity Too short

It's got an AWESOME drop & setting. I blacked out on it although it is very short.

Inversions Location Layout Too short

Best of the old Arrow loopers. I don't recall any head banging at all. Where this is located leaves the entire coaster out of sight from anywhere in the park. You have no idea where you are going the whole time--especially at night. It is rather short, but very intense. Back when this was built it had to be one of the most intense rides in the world. Even by today's standards it is fabulous, despite the old trains and restraints. Solid 9/10.

Inversions Smoothness Too short

its only flaw is its length. its so good and right when im hoping for a helix or something, its over. rides real smooth too. inversions are massive and quirky, drops are great, tunnel is a plus, and the location is perfect. awesome ride and easily my #2 arrow behind Nessie.

Pace Smoothness Too short

Tennessee Tornado is amazing while it lasts, but it's incredibly short. The inversions are a little wonky, but this isn't noticeable from on the ride. It produces great forces through each inversion. There's even some understated theming. Tennessee Tornado just suffers from being far too short. Right when it feels like it should get insane, it hits the final brake run. It's great, but not perfect.

Inversions Nice surprise! Fun

Arrowという会社が痛くないループコースターを作れるようになるまでの長い道のりを思うと涙が出ます。

Best Arrow looper

Location Intensity Smoothness Too short

My favorite Arrow. Very intense with fantastic Inversions and a great drop. The location is great with the mountains around. It’s a shame it’s just a little short.

Theming Location Discomfort

6.6 of of 10! Out dated, but great theme and very location of how it runs in woods.

Smoothness Rattle

This coaster is pretty fun, and it is a good arrow looper. However it isn't anything special. Also when I rode it for the first time, it was smooth but there was a minor rattle.

Definition of an average coaster.

Smoothness

Surprisingly smooth Arrow coaster, an early Alan Schilke design before the company went bankrupt.
