Masterpiece Ejectors Hangtime Capacity
The best rollercoaster I have ever done. A ride like this has no cons. Except for the capacity because you want to go again and again, like all other people in the park.

Inversions Intensity Harness Discomfort Tear it down!
Even with the new trains this ride is pretty harsh. But there are some nice elements to it.

Capacity Pace Duration Dead spots Layout
A pretty decent blacked out rollercoaster. But it’s a pretty tame layout where you basically go pretty fast through some bends and some hills.

Theming Nice surprise! Masterpiece Capacity
One of the best themed rides I know. The queue is simply stunning. Shame the capacity is pretty low. The layout of the rollercoaster part is underwhelming compared to the dark ride part.

This ride is just pure power and speed from top to bottom.

First Drop Theming Smoothness Too short
One of the best theming and pre-shows.

This is probably the most expensive and perhaps the most impressive coaster at Dollywood. However, it left precisely zero impression on me. It is at least my 4th, 5th or even 6th favorite coaster in the park. I've ridden several of these winged coasters; this one isn't my favorite--the smallest one, Thunderbird, is. None of that is to say that this isn't a very good coaster at all. It is a newish B&M so you know it is liquid smooth. Of course being a winged design it is rather unique, and thrilling. Again, though, I don't remember anything about this ride. I know we rode it, but it just didn't wow us. We had 2 days of basically zero lines at Dollywood and we only rode this once. There are so many other more "fun" coasters, perhaps, not better, but more fun coasters in the park to ride that we never went back to this. We rode several others in the park up to 10 times.

Decent, basic woodie. Nothing at all great about it, but also nothing awful, except for perhaps the single train operation. Good ride. At a large park this would be rendered a "what is the point type coaster", but at this tiny park it is a standout. The most intriguing part of the ride is the queue where they have pictures of many of the classic, wooden coasters from around the country. Overall a good ride.

Schwarkopf loopers are quite honestly the best looping coaters every made. This one is on par with any of them. It has aged very well. The trains and cars are very comfortable. Of the 2 whole coasters that were operable on the day I was there, it was the best. I wish more of these existed.
