Thunderhead

Ride Information

This massive hillside twister debuted in 2004 to rave reviews at the world-famous Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Thunderhead features the first of its kind station fly-through, which sends the train passing through the station mid-way through the course at 40 mph above the exit platform!

Thunderhead has been a staple at this legendary park since it was installed in 2004.
