Dollywood Mystery Mine

I feel like was offended because the harness that goes over you when you ride would not go all the way down. yes I am a little over weight so we’re the other three people who were with me. and they made me get off. but when I rode the other roller coaster in Dollywood I fit just fine and was not told to get off. so yes I feel I was offended. Thank you!

Love the ride. It’s kind of short and it makes you expect more thrill than you get with the darkness and noises. For a small theme park this ride surprised me. I rode it twice. Definitely ride it no matter the wait. (I have been to Disney and Universal several times and this is still a good ride in my opinion.)

This thing is sooo amazing… love the fire ball and the huge drop at the end. It’s a bit jerky at the end but man overall this is a cool ride.

I was cracking up the whole time! I can’t remember a ride that has almost made me puke from laughter. Right from the start you drop and your stomach is in your throat. You go straight up, sideways, up side down, every which way possible. I was not expecting to go upside down. I’m not gonna lie, I almost peed myself when the fire came shooting out at you, you can feel the heat off of it. If you’re feeling a bit queasy, do not ride this ride. Let’s just say when we exited, puke was on the ground.

This is really great ride! big hills, awesome turns, goes upside down, is indoors and outdoors, is suspenseful and includes blasts of real fire! I loved it!

I, too, have been on the Mystery Mine ride at Dollywood but I take this review with a differnt approach. 99.9 percent of the people are there for the thrills of the ride but I was part of the .1 percent that actually took it as a museum with a roller coaster placed in the middle of the exhibit.
The Dollywood people have actually tried to show through text and graphics and actual mine equipment on display how dangerous mining is (and was) in the US, especially the southern US. I felt like I was walking through a intepretative center and was very impressed but did not have enough time to look at all the exhibits.
Yes, the ride was thrilling but so were the educational efforts of the Dollywood staff on showing what miners had to (and still have to) go through.

I’m not really an expert to comment on rollercoasters, but this one really, reaaaaaally took my breath away. Whoaaa… now that’s what you call a Roller Coaster ride. It’s been a year since this almost right-​angled, spine chilling ride hit the track. Nonetheless, I being a late bird rode it just last weekend.
Gosh! I was screaming at the top of my lungs, hair blown with wind and mouth wide open. It was perhaps one of the most exhilarating rides I have ever ridden. I think it is one of the best themed (for those not in the loop, mystery mine is themed as an abandoned coal mine with a sinister past) coasters by far, else than Disney of course.
Located in Dollywood’s Timber Canyon region, this place offers awesome ambience, breathtaking special effects, thundering sounds, and needless to say, excitement galore.
