History
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.

Practical
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.
