Dollywood Announces FireChaser Express
"Now comes your turn to celebrate that heroic spirit in a new coaster
that’s sure to test your mettle, and leave you screaming for more! It’s
the FireChaser Express – the nation's first dual launch family coaster –
blasting riders forward and backward!"
Today at 11am Dollywood announced what the mystery project for 2014 will be. The park is adding in a new duel launch roller coaster called Fire Chaser Express. The stats for this new attraction look pretty amazing, the United State's first duel launch coaster. It's a forward and back launched roller coaster, which is labeled as a family coaster "little kids, 4 years old, can ride". With this addition Dollywood will now host seven roller coasters and dozens of other rides and attractions. The park has also hinted that they plan to keep up the building spree in the coming years with new "big attractions" and "big shows".
