TailSpin Racer Coming to Dollywood’s Splash Country

$2 million attraction set to open in 2017

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With the excitement of what is shaping up to be a record season in 2016,
The Dollywood Company today announced the addition of TailSpin Racer to
Dollywood’s Splash Country for 2017.


This thrilling new attraction allows up to six guests to race each other
on mats through the twists and turns of TailSpin Racer’s unique
spiraling tube design. The race begins with riders descending a daring
first drop inside intertwined, high-speed AquaTubes. After navigating
the wet and wild curves, riders emerge from the translucent tubes on a
traditional mat racer-style slide. From there, it’s an all-out race
toward the splashdown finish.

“TailSpin Racer is an exciting addition to the park that we know our
guests are going to love,” explained Dollywood’s Splash Country General
Manager Mike Brown. “We always seek to add slides and attractions which
will leave our guests with big smiles and memories to share. I think
we’ll see a lot of fun as families and friends challenge each other to
races down this great new slide.”

TailSpin Racer’s slides are longer than a football field in length and
stand five stories above the park. The $2 million attraction, which uses
ergonomically designed starting blocks, will be located alongside Big
River Pavilion near the park entrance.

Thanks to strong visitation to Dollywood’s Splash Country in 2016,
officials added five new days, Aug. 15-19, to the park’s operating
calendar. The award-winning water park now is open daily through Aug. 21
and on weekends through Labor Day.

Dollywood’s Splash Country’s other family-favorite attractions
underscore why the park was named America’s Must-See Waterpark in 2009
by the International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions. The
park also was named a Top-10 water park by TripAdvisor in 2016. With
RiverRush, Tennessee’s first and only water coaster, the daredevil drops
of Fire Tower Falls and Mountain Scream and the white water rafting
journey on Big Bear Plunge, Dollywood’s Splash Country has thrill rides
for the adventurous members of every family.

For those who want a slower pace, The Cascades leisure pool, Mountain
Waves wave pool, Downbound Float Trip lazy river and children’s water
play areas are a relaxing way to cool down. Voted one of America’s best
waterparks by The Travel Channel, Dollywood’s Splash Country features
more than 35 water adventure slides in its breathtaking natural
surroundings, the Smokies.

With the upcoming addition of TailSpin Racer, an impressive lineup of
water-based attractions, and fun at every splash, Dollywood’s Splash
Country is the best place to beat the heat in the Smoky Mountains.
