I was saying the same thing to someone today. Once the dirt areas fill in, Big Bear Mountain roller coaster will look even better at Dollywood Theme Park!
Went on Memorial Day and it was great. Very little lines. We were able to ride this and many other coasters back to back. This was my favorite and my daughter loved Mystery Mine. The speed, smoothness, g forces on this one make it one I'll keep coming back for. Definitely sit in the front seats if you can. Really great review!
Spent my 70th birthday at Dollywood last April. Finish the day off by writing this 10 times in a row. It was so much fun and something to remember my birthday by. During the day I also rode the eagle four times. It is also a very fun ride. I love dollywood!
Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is very smooth! Eugene said they were putting a test seat out soon, one of the line queue workers said they would not. I lean towards the president saying they will have one but we will see!
I would think so, I am not sure the draw for theme parks to build wooden ones in this day of age that tend to not be as smooth & a maintenance nightmare in comparison.
Rode for the first time right at closing time in dec. Didn't even know it was there until we kept seeing red track everywhere and finally realized how to get to it. I was cold but so much fun! Long ride which was great!!
We hope you get to enjoy Big Bear Mountain roller coaster when you come to Dollywood Bryan! Here is a playlist of other videos to help for your first visit: ruclips.net/p/PLRq0zJxf6i1HGT8A_s74UKInSoaFcefny
This ride is awesome. I’ve ridden some really good ones in my 56 years but this one is so smooth and exhilarating considering it’s not the fastest one out there.
I was in the first group of people to ride this while it was testing. The park was closed and only a select few were invited in to ride it. I love how it meanders downward. It's fun
This ride was awesome! I’m awful about holding on to anything and everything for dear life during rollercoasters but this one really gives you nothing haha it was awesome 😂😂
I hope you can Rita! Big Bear Mountain is a very smooth roller coaster, it never goes upside down & doesn't go over 48mph. It's a great family ride added to Dollywood!
I just rode it and it was AMAZING one of my favorites my rating 9.5/10 0.5 removed cause no headrest but other thing it is awesome it’s fast,smooth,relaxing, and family enjoyable my family didn’t think I would do it since it kept breaking down but it was so awesome I definitely recommend for kids 10+ or 8+ really fun
Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is a very enjoyable ride, but I have noticed a lot of people mentioning wanting more theming on the ride. I think that is something they could always add Greg!
This looks like it will be a great night ride. I have never been to Dollywood yet, but I'm planning on going hopefully sometime in the future, as well as the mountain coaster rides. Thank you, DJ Tommy Walker from Terre Haute, Indiana
I would love to see it run at night too! Big Bear Mountain is a great addition to Dollywood which is such a great theme park! We hope you can make it someday soon DJ!
Thanks John! Big Bear Mountain roller coaster though overall tame going no more than 48mph, does have some intense sections for those of us non-thrill seekers. I am glad I at least did it once!
Needs more theming, perhaps a few bear animatronics or actual tall trees to make it like you’re winding in & out of the forest. I get that it’s new & they need it open to start making money, so hopefully they add at least one or two actual bears, I mean that’s the whole point of the ride & land.
I know this was 2 months ago but I have a question. Does this ride jerk the neck in any way? I would like to ride this but my husband has neck issues. I wonder since you said it was a smooth ride, if it would bother his neck.
Big Bear is a very smooth ride, it does have a part that goes left and right a few times but is quite smooth when it does that. You may want to ride it first to see what you think since you know your husband's neck issues best and if it will be an issue for him. Have fun!
Thanks for the POV video - it looks really fun. What would you compare it to as far as intensity/level? The look of it makes me think of Slinky Dog at Disney - would that be a good comp?
I just rode it today for the first time and immediately thought of Hagrids at Universal. A lot more intense than I was expecting. I'm actually surprised the height requirement is just 39 inches. It's fast with quick turns. Feels much faster than 48 mph IMO.
The Yeti animatronic has been a nightmare for Disney's Animal Kingdom. There is audio of the bear roaring at the very end of the ride which may have been decided to keep consistency rather than an animatronic that doesn't always work. Just a thought...
As of 2:30pm today, Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is open to anyone inside Dollywood. They will be adding this ride to the TimeSaver (skip to the front of the line for $) Pass soon.
I don't think I would want to ride this... I rode Firechaser, the other launched family coaster Dollywood has, and that was a bit much for me to handle 😞 This would probably be even more intense than Firechaser, with the sections that go sideways and faster launches 😢
I haven't done firechaser so I couldn't compare, but many other have compared Big Bear Mountain to it. Based on size & speed difference (FCE = 35mph - BBM = 48mph) I would say it is a more intense roller coaster.
They were looking to add a family ride, not another thrill ride. I’m glad they did, otherwise I would never ride it. I was so excited to have something I could do & loved it.
@@AdventureIsOutThere most of the rides in the park are family oriented to begin with as compared to thrill rides.the place has lost its charm and fun and is now to overpriced for a family like Disney is and that's what it is becoming.
@@deanmiller6177 I wouldn't describe Lightning Rod, Wild Eagle, Thunderhead, Mystery Mine, Tennessee Tornado as family rides with their height requirements. At only 39 inches its a fantastic addition to dollywood IMO. We have Disney annual passes and find Dollywood passes to have a great value.
Big Bear Mountain at Dollywood is an awesome family ride. It's not trying to be the next Lighting Rod or Wild Eagle level ride, it's trying to be for the whole family. We LOVED it!
Its a beautiful ride now, but once all the foliage matures its gonna be spectacular!
I was saying the same thing to someone today. Once the dirt areas fill in, Big Bear Mountain roller coaster will look even better at Dollywood Theme Park!
@@AdventureIsOutTherejust rode it today and it is beautiful. The grass was super green and they even added some bushes in.
@@flawlessgull5032 👍
I actually rode this last week and it was probably the best coaster I have ever rode. Very smooth ride
It is, glad you were able to enjoy it!
My daughter loved this one. My 84 year old Mother in Law rode it as well.
👍

The speed, smoothness, g forces on this one make it one I'll keep coming back for. Definitely sit in the front seats if you can. Really great review!
This and lightning rod are the best at the park,im thinking if this should be tied with lightning rod and velocicoaster,amazing ride
Oh if I'm riding with the entire "train" by myself I'm sitting in the very very very way back.
👍

Sweet!! It looks like it is pretty "size friendly" and smooth!
Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is very smooth! Eugene said they were putting a test seat out soon, one of the line queue workers said they would not. I lean towards the president saying they will have one but we will see!
Thanks for sharing this, btw the steel roller coasters are so much smoother then the wooden ones
I would think so, I am not sure the draw for theme parks to build wooden ones in this day of age that tend to not be as smooth & a maintenance nightmare in comparison.
Just rode it yesterday. It was a blast! The area looks much better now with grass. Once the rest of the foliage grows in, it will be spectacular.
Glad you got to ride it Amy!
Thanks for the POV, Ryan! This will have to do until sometime next year when we finally get back there. Looks like my kind of ride!
Our pleasure keyman! I hope you are able to enjoy Big Bear Mountain next time you come back to Dollywood!
It’s now my favorite ride and I didn’t think it would take my stomach but it did but only the launches did honestly.
Rode for the first time right at closing time in dec. Didn't even know it was there until we kept seeing red track everywhere and finally realized how to get to it. I was cold but so much fun! Long ride which was great!!
👍
We will be there on the 22nd & 24th! It will be our first time in the park ever. Excited!

I want to ride this so bad. It looks like a lot of fun. Thank You for taking us along.
Our pleasure Smokey Mountain Dreamer! We hope you get to enjoy Big Bear Mountain roller coaster soon!
I don’t normally ride roller coasters, but thinking I might could try this one. Thanks for the video.
I don’t either Crystal but have this one a try! Here was my experience👀👉

That ride makes my head itch Brofessor
I loved this one we went on it for the 1st time this march and I remember being so happy to have front row ❤
This is my second favorite ride in the park behind Lightning Rod. This was definitely a great addition for Dollywood.
We like it too!
this ride is soo fun especially 2:16 when that 3 shoot off happens
This ride is awesome. I’ve ridden some really good ones in my 56 years but this one is so smooth and exhilarating considering it’s not the fastest one out there.
👍
I was in the first group of people to ride this while it was testing. The park was closed and only a select few were invited in to ride it. I love how it meanders downward. It's fun
Awesome! Big Bear Mountain roller coast is indeed very fun!
Rode it in December, one of the best rides! Cant wait to come back in October and ride it again
👍
My daughter can’t wait to ride this We’ll be there the first week of June.
Awesome Sherry! We hope she enjoys Big Bear Mountain roller coaster at Dollywood when you come in June!
This ride was awesome! I’m awful about holding on to anything and everything for dear life during rollercoasters but this one really gives you nothing haha it was awesome 😂😂
👍
That was COOL, we were riding also😍🤗 thanks for the ride🥰
Our pleasure T Thomas! We hope this Big Bear Mountain roller coaster POV video helps people better know what it is like before they come to Dollywood!
@@AdventureIsOutThere this video did everything for your RUclips family, graphics are AWESOME 💯 thanks for the experience 🥰♥️
Needs more theming
A bear animatronic would also be cool
Yes I would like to ride it even though I'm not a roller coaster person
I hope you can Rita! Big Bear Mountain is a very smooth roller coaster, it never goes upside down & doesn't go over 48mph. It's a great family ride added to Dollywood!
Me and my kids my twins love it so dose my oldest
👍
THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!! Such a good edition!!
Awesome, thanks for the heads up!
I’ll be there in May. Can’t wait.
Got to ride it three weeks ago, it was a genuine Blast!!! A must ride 😂❤
Glad you got to ride Big Bear, we love this ride!
Today we are going to Dollywood 🎉
Hope you have a great day!
Well looks like the root of all theme parks as a trip to Dollywood for the future
Dollywood theme park has continued to make great improvements through the years. Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is a great addition!
It was my favorite ride in dollewood
Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is a great addition to Dollywood!
Rode it on opening day, awesome ride!!! Got to see the designer as well, great guy!
Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is awesome BlueberryJuice!

Such a cool ride! Thanks for sharing. I had so much fun riding Big Bear Mountain!
Big Bear Mountain roller coaster at Dollywood is fantastic, our pleasure Cherith!
Wish the ride itself had more theming to it. Something along the lines of Big Thunder Mountain, but still looks enjoyable.
Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is a very enjoyable ride, but I have noticed a lot of people mentioning wanting more theming on the ride. I think that is something they could always add Greg!
@@AdventureIsOutThere Yep I think they will. Hopefully they eventually get at least an Animatronic Bear and put it somewhere on the ride.
Rode it yesterday, was pretty bad ass
👍
I wanna get on it so bad I regret not 😢
This looks like it will be a great night ride. I have never been to Dollywood yet, but I'm planning on going hopefully sometime in the future, as well as the mountain coaster rides. Thank you, DJ Tommy Walker from Terre Haute, Indiana

Ryan, that looked fun but, I don't like heights! Really enjoyed your video!
I understand Carla! I hope the video helps people decide if Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is for them or not!🐻
Such long walk before you get to the ride😊
👍
I'd like to go back to Dollywood and ride it..looks good
👍
Wow it’s fun ride roller coaster 🎢 ❤
Big Bear Mountain is a really neat new roller coaster at Dollywood! We hope this POV video helps people better know what to expect for this ride!
Where is the Big Bear? Lackluster ending for the ride
The last drop through the tunnel with the bear growling was awesome IMO. Very smooth fun ride!
That looks so cool bro. Looking forward to it.
Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is super smooth TCD!
You should warn older people about how fast it takes off and goes. I wasn’t expecting the take off speed.
We talk about launches & top speed. You can see it launching from the station while waiting in line.
Needs more theming, perhaps a few bear animatronics or actual tall trees to make it like you’re winding in & out of the forest. I get that it’s new & they need it open to start making money, so hopefully they add at least one or two actual bears, I mean that’s the whole point of the ride & land.
They could very well add more to this roller coaster. As far as the track and actual ride experience, Big Bear Mountain is very smooth and fun!
Looks like a really smooth ride like dragonflier
I heard someone compare Big Bear Mountain roller coaster to it's neighboring dragonflier at Dollywood.
Wild eagle and lightning rod and TT are best
They are 2 Dollywood roller coasters loved by many!
I did it yesterday
👍
Thank you for this pov❤
Our pleasure Tawny! Here was our experience on this ride: ruclips.net/video/e_-ZtGvwhqQ/видео.html
Was really expecting to see a bear towards the end. Do you never find the bear? Little kids would love that.
There is not physical bear, but on board audio and speakers of the bear at the end of the Big Bear Mountain roller coaster.
Thats taller than I thought. Haha But maybe I can manage!😮
I have heard if you can do slinky dog dash at Hollywood Studios, you can do Big Bear Mountain.
I know this was 2 months ago but I have a question. Does this ride jerk the neck in any way? I would like to ride this but my husband has neck issues. I wonder since you said it was a smooth ride, if it would bother his neck.

I heard that there might be some on board Audio that goes with this ride. Welp I guess I’ll wait for a POV that has the real on board audio
There is on board audio, but that was not released by dollywood & we can't film on the rides.
its not bad until he says lets kick it into high gear
👍
I ride this i pass out amost
👍
Is there no bear animatronic? It seems weird to not pay off the promise set up in the queue
The Yeti animatronic has been a nightmare for Disney's Animal Kingdom. There is audio of the bear roaring at the very end of the ride which may have been decided to keep consistency rather than an animatronic that doesn't always work. Just a thought...
It looks really fun Ryan. It looks like it is very smooth. I would love to ride that! Lord willing on one of my trips in the future I will be able to.
It is very fun & smooth roller coaster! We hope you get to ride Big Bear Mountain next time you come to Dollywood Smoky Mountain Man!
Perfect family ride
We really enjoyed Big Bear Mountain at Dollywood!
How many cars do they have riding on the track?
They had 2 running at a time at Big Bear Mountain roller coaster.
Ryan, was it open to all today or just media and pass holders?
As of 2:30pm today, Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is open to anyone inside Dollywood. They will be adding this ride to the TimeSaver (skip to the front of the line for $) Pass soon.
Is this coaster rough to ride?
Watch this for others opinions 👀👉 ruclips.net/video/mqb881gteLQ/видео.html
Looks very fun for the brave but not me. I would like to know how fast was the roller coaster? How much does it cost??
Hey April! Big Bear Mountain roller coaster goes 48 MPH. It is part of your Dollywood theme park admission which a single day ticket is $89.
@@AdventureIsOutThere The price of entrance to the park seems quite reasonable.
I'm glad you enjoyed your roller coaster 🎢 ride.
@@apriltorres3684 Dollywood is a great theme park for the price you pay in our opinion (we also have passes to Walt Disney World).
This is their largest coaster?
Big Bear Mountain is the largest roller coaster at Dollywood as far as track length goes (3,990ft).
Why is the park always empty in your videos? Are you that lucky? lol
This was provided by Dollywood while the park was empty. We often try to go in the park when it isn't busy (Saturdays/Holidays).
I don't think I would want to ride this... I rode Firechaser, the other launched family coaster Dollywood has, and that was a bit much for me to handle 😞 This would probably be even more intense than Firechaser, with the sections that go sideways and faster launches 😢

way two long.... Over played out. The bear hunt" " would of been over sooner two many twist turns and its ok
One of the main complaints I have heard of Big Bear Mountain roller coaster is that it is too short.
Looks kind of boring
Big Bear Mountain at Dollywood is an awesome family ride. It's not trying to be the next Lighting Rod or Wild Eagle level ride, it's trying to be for the whole family. We LOVED it!
