Tailspin Racer Comes To Splash Country

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (WDEF) – Dollywood’s Splash Country just announced that a new ride named Tailspin will be coming to the park in 2017.

Located alongside the Big River Pavilion this ride will be longer than a football field in length and will stand about five stories in height, according to the press release Tuesday Morning.

“This thrilling new attraction allows up to six guests to race each other on mats through the twists and turns of TailSpin Racer’s unique spiraling tube design. The race begins with riders descending a daring first drop inside intertwined, high-speed AquaTubes. After navigating the wet and wild curves, riders emerge from the translucent tubes on a traditional mat racer-style slide. From there, it’s an all-out race toward the splashdown finish.”

“TailSpin Racer is an exciting addition to the park that we know our guests are going to love,” explained Dollywood’s Splash Country General Manager Mike Brown. “We always seek to add slides and attractions which will leave our guests with big smiles and memories to share. I think we’ll see a lot of fun as families and friends challenge each other to races down this great new slide.”

Thanks a consistent and strong visitation to Dollywood’s Splash Country in 2016, officials added five new days, Aug. 15-19, to the park’s operating calendar.

The award-winning water park now is open daily through Aug. 21 and on weekends through Labor Day.
