Blazing Fury

Blazing Fury is an indoor steel coaster at Dollywood that moves riders through curves and three descending drops along its track layout. Each train holds three cars with two seats per row for a total of 18 riders per cycle.

This ride opened in 1978 as one of the park's earliest major attractions, built by local crews from the region. It marks an important moment when the park began shaping its identity around Tennessee mountain heritage and storytelling.

The ride tells the story of a mountain town in emergency through scenes encountered during the journey. Architectural details and narrative elements reflect the 1880s Appalachian setting and character of the region.

Riders must be at least 42 inches (107 cm) tall to board this coaster. Plan to ride during quieter periods of the day to avoid longer wait times at this popular indoor attraction.

The coaster uses powered track sections mixed with gravity-driven drops, creating a blend of dark ride and traditional coaster sensations. This hybrid approach was uncommon for attractions in the mid-1970s and gives the ride its distinctive character.
