New Dollywood Ride- Barnstormer

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Early flight

New to Dollywood’s attractions is the $5.5 million Barnstormer ride, opening in March of 2011.

Barnstormer is named after the brave aerialists and stunt pilots of the 1920′s. The ride has 2 pendulum arms that seat 32 riders. The ride travels higher on each swing, reaching a speed of 45 mph and a rotation of 230 degrees.

Seated back to back, riders get an amazing view of the park at 81 feet in the air. Seated in the vintage style Barnstormer, the ride is situated among a big red barn that pays tribute to Dolly Parton’s family upbringing.

Including custom designed ADA seating, the height requirement for the Barnstormer is 48 inches.

Around the Barnstormer there is a children’s bi-plane play area and a pig pen water play area.

“I remember my daddy and granddaddy talking about the old barnstormers that used to do all kinds of crazy stunts above the fields where they’d work crops,” Dolly Parton said in a recent press release.

Dollywood has more than 40 rides and attractions. The 1 acre project is currently occupied by the Dreamland Forrest. Barnstormer is next to the Mountain Slidewinder. As one of most visited attractions in Tennessee, this new family thrill ride is sure to be a hit!

Hot Rod Car Shows

Summer is coming to an end with one last big event in the Smoky Mountains. Make plans to come see Pigeon Forge, Tennessee as host for the Grand Fall Rod Run. Town comes to life with thousands of incredible cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

A continuous parade of cars, up and down the Parkway, cruise by day and night. From vintage models to the unique fixer-uppers. Cars of every description drive by in colors like cherry red, cobalt blue, and canary yellow. Parking lots will be filled up early on and sidewalks covered with folding chairs. Have your choice of navigating or admiring the cars on foot.

Car builders and enthusiasts alike come from all over to bring and/ or sell their hot rods. Even with the tough economic times, deals on car purchases are amazing. Many people sell cars during the car show, and it could be your “dream car” you’ve been looking for, or “that first car you should have held on to.”

Vendor booths, sponsor booths, and several demonstrations will be available. Visitors can enjoy interactive displays as well as participate in workshops and get answers to a variety of technical questions.
