World's 'Merriest' Coasters: Dollywood's Tennessee Tornado During Smoky Mountain Christmas

December 7, 2010 at 10:43 AM | by | Comments (0)

The weather in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee does get a little chilly for the holidays, but that doesn’t mean that Dollywood is shutting things down for the season. Most of the rides and attractions are open through the end of 2010—somewhat weather permitting—and those that brave the cold are rewarded with millions of Christmas lights and other holiday decorations.

In the middle of all the holiday hoopla sits the Tennessee Tornado. One of the best roller coasters at the park, it simulates what it’s like to make your way through an old mining company. Three loops will disorientate even the most hardcore coaster enthusiast, especially when the park’s holiday lights, displays, and decorations go whizzing past you at speeds of up to 70mph.

Regis Philbin Will Help the New Titanic Museum Dock in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Where: 2134 Parkway [map], Pigeon Forge, TN, United States, 37863
April 8, 2010 at 11:35 AM | by | Comments (0)

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is one of the great tourist traps of the United States, and it's about to get yet another attraction in addition to the old Ripley's Believe It or Not, small wedding chapels and Dollywood. The Titanic Museum Attraction opens there today, in a replica of the original boat. At least there's no danger of this one hitting an iceberg in Tennessee and sinking, since it's fully landlocked.

Regis Philbin, who's probably as old as the original Titanic, will be aboard today for the grand opening of what's being billed as "the world's largest museum attraction."
