DOLLYWOOD’S BIG BEAR MOUNTAIN NOW OPEN, SENDING RIDERS TO SEARCH FOR “BIG BEAR”
Dolly Parton helps “launch” first riders during grand opening celebration
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (Friday, May 12, 2023) - Dollywood’s Big Bear Mountain, the largest single attraction investment in the park’s history, opened Friday to the general public with much fanfare, a nod to the Great Smoky Mountains, and of course, a visit from Dolly Parton.
The $25 million Big Bear Mountain roller coaster launches park guests from its ride station on an exhilarating search for the elusive “Big Bear,” a mythical bear of epic proportions, which is said to live in the hills near the park’s Wildwood Grove area. At 3,990 linear ft., the ride is ¾-mile long and becomes the longest roller coaster at the Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, park. Dollywood guests are invited to assist Wildwood Grove’s resident wilderness explorer, Ned Oakley, in his quest to find Big Bear.
During Friday morning’s media event, a group of junior adventurers were on hand to put their skills to the test to see if they could find Big Bear. The ride’s 39” height requirement means even younger riders are able to come along on the search. After the first search party returned with smiles on their faces, Dolly quipped, “Well, did you find him?”
With theming elements throughout the ride reminiscent of her beloved Smoky Mountains, Dollywood’s Dreamer-in-Chief eagerly anticipated the opening of the new attraction.
“We said we’re going to expand Wildwood Grove, and we really meant it,” Dolly said prior to the event. “This ride is bigger than, well, Big Bear! Seriously though, I’m so glad we’re able to incorporate so much of the Smokies into this ride. I’m proud of where I’m from, and these Smoky Mountains truly are so much a part of me and who I am to this day.
“I remember going out on my own little nature adventures when I was a kid, so I’m happy to know our guests are going to be able to go out together looking for that Big Bear! I’ve been hearing stories about him and whether or not he really is out there, but there is one thing I know for sure. No matter if guests find him or not, they’re going to have a lot of very happy memories to take home with them when they leave.”
Big Bear Mountain marks an expansion of Wildwood Grove, the three-time and current winner of the Golden Ticket award for Best Theme Park Kids’ Area. The new ride’s massive structure hugs six acres of undulating topography which runs along the Grove, with riders racing high and low searching Wildwood Grove for the legendary bear. Featuring a top speed of 48 mph, Big Bear Mountain takes guests through three separate launches, multiple airtime hills, high-speed carousel turns, and tunnels, including a pass behind a waterfall.
In addition to becoming the longest roller coaster at Dollywood, Big Bear Mountain-built by ride manufacturer Vekoma-also marks the first attraction at the park to feature on-board audio. The sound system provides auditory thrills to match the ride’s dynamic movements as guests come daringly close to Big Bear. The highly-detailed coaster trains resemble four-wheel-drive SUVs and feature working headlights and taillights. Each coaster train seats 20 guests.
According to legend, Big Bear is a massive black bear who has been roaming through Wildwood Grove for as long as anyone can remember. While no one has ever seen him, telltale signs regularly appear in the hills surrounding the Grove.
“Wildwood Grove has won the Golden Ticket award for Best Theme Park Kids’ Area ever since it was built in 2019,” explained Eugene Naughton, President of Dollywood Parks & Resorts. “It has been well received by our guests, and we knew any attraction added when we expanded the area had to live up to that same high standard we set for ourselves. With the great work from our partners at Vekoma, I feel like we’ve really delivered a ride that is going to be something the whole family can enjoy together.
2 things that define her.

I am still catching up on your great videos, I had shoulder surgery Monday, May 8. I am moving a bit slow been enjoying all the videos🥰🌸🦋
As I am catching up on comments...I hope you recovery has been going well!
Thanks for bringing us this great content Ryan. I just loved watching it. Looking forward to our visit in August.
Glad you could virtually join the Big Bear Mountain grand opening with Dolly from afar Dawn!
How does she possibly play guitar so well with such long fingernails on her left hand? She's not faking it as far as I can tell those are the actual chord shapes she's moving her fingers too but sheesh how does she do that??
Same way Michael Jordan could make baskets or Aaron Judge hit home runs, they practice and have a lot of talent that makes it look easy!
Thanks!
Erica thank you for your support! We hope you enjoyed seeing Dolly open Big Bear Mountain at Dollywood!
All of dollywood
👍
At first I was like that's not in the Davy Crockett song 😂
👍
Love Dolly’s twist on Davey Crocket song 👍
Dolly Parton is very talented Stephanie!
@@AdventureIsOutThere ❤️ yes indeed 👍
Dolly is amazing, the themepark looks amazing 🎢 this new coaster look like a lots of fun 🙃🎢 kind regards from Bavaria (Germany)
It’s is great, if you ever make it to the US and can hop on this ride, you’ll love it!
Is her leg bleeding the right one I LOVE HER ROYALTY 💖👑🎤
Not sure Teddy
Well Ryan...because you did I will.
LOL...just don't get mad at me if you feel like it is too intense. It's really not too bad, here is a POV I uploaded earlier today: ruclips.net/video/nEyCA1zME9g/видео.html
@Adventure Is Out There Oh I wouldn't! I get myself in crazy situations just fine all by myself. Lol
@@janasheets890 LOL!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💋
👍
Awe my sugar bear. Send me some honey. When we are in heaven still probably won't ride a roller coaster. I have rode a couple. Even the Texas giant when it went bankrupt. Hopefully you have water rides. We all loved the white water rafting at six flags. Did you say that big bear sewed that dress. Girls there you go.
👍
Was she there today
She was, this was from this morning. I’ll be posting up video of her in a parade from this afternoon later.
I wish the theming was more complete.
I think adding plants & ground cover around some of the barren areas will make Big Bear Mountain roller coaster even better over time David.
Love Dolly but in our 70s it is not worth the money to go to Dollywood. Glad to see your subscribers are growing.
Not even for cinnamon bread? Haha! We're in our 50s and love Dollywood. Out of the 5 times I've been there, I've been on 2 rides. We love the entertainment, the food, the atmosphere, and just being there. It's a delightful place with delightful people, and I think there's something for all ages. I'll still be going when I'm in my 70s.
Thanks Marilyn, we appreciate your support!
It is still not a ride that family members with motion sickness can ride 😕.
Sorry to hear jcg!
I'll take Dolly over mickey mouse any day!! ❤️
Man, she can be cringe worthy at times!
I know many Dollywood Hosts (employees) are very fond of their interactions with her.
Wtf?
As these types of events go, it was great! ;)
@GetDatPromo Like the time she was in Playboy magazine?
