Daredevil Falls is a water ride located in Dollywood, consisting of a pipe-like tunnel and a 60 degree drop. The ride opened in April 1998 as a replacement of the old Flooded Mine attraction like the one at the sister park to Dollywood, Silver Dollar City , and was manufactured by Hopkins Rides of Contoocook, New Hampshire.
Riders board on a log themed car and go into a pipe. As the vehicle enter the pipe, there's a fluttering noise and red eyes glowing. Riders leave the pipe and there is a bear wrecking a tent. The vehicle makes a sharp turn and goes up a steep lift hill. Once on top, there is a saw coming towards the riders which then turns to the 60 degree drop and then take a sharp turn and pull into the station.

A few weeks ago I went to Dollywood for the first time, and without knowing what I was getting into the first ride I went on was Lightning Rod. I died for a minute

[@ChrissyBoi1]

We are going here for a feild trip Tommorow SO EXCITED

[@qxerts]

It is a w park

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

One of the best rides at the park. Started Dollywood‘s string of stellar additions all the way back in 1998.

[@KameWeeb]

Ohhhh yeah. '99 got Tennessee Tornado, '04 saw Thunderhead (my favorite wooden coaster at the moment), '07 saw Mystery Mine, I think 2012 was Wild Eagle, 2014 was Firechaser Express, and...2016 was Lightning Rod, I think. Haven't been since right after Lightning Rod opened.

[@addisonm2988]

I like Tennessee tornado

[@Crazygirlie123.]

I like fire chaser

[@AbandonedMines11]

The landscaping on this flume ride is incredible! Very scenic!

[@Pebble24442]

God, I loved this ride, the drop always freaks me out.

[@MacDinoland]

Not being familiar with the rides at Dollywood, I kept looking for a "daredevil" (stuntman) to fall in the front row. LMAO! 😆

[@jled1995]

That’s how I read it!

[@elonkamden6848]

i guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

[@kaibeckham8486]

@Elon Kamden Instablaster :)

[@robbiehagberg3515]

Robbie Hagberg is there rain expected to go on to all the time I think you should be fine with that you are not going anywhere with you and I can go back and get it tomorrow and I can go back and then go home and get it tomorrow and I can go back in the morning and I can go with you and I can get a pop up if you want them in the car back in I can go there and get it done before you leave me alone and I will get them tomorrow if I don't want them for me for anything else and I would like them for you for your help 🆘?

[@calebpayne3021]

The feeling u get whenever u watch this or actually on the ride and I go down its like the raft jumps whenever it goes down and I can't see what will happen next

[@Fultonfalcons86]

The water park and the coaster is fun to ride but damn the price of admission is out there this year..........

[@englishatheart]

Still cheaper than Disney.

[@johnharris6655]

But everything in the park is much less expensive than other parks including food.

[@KameWeeb]

Totally worth it for me. Then again, I have a LONG history with Dollywood that dates back to at LEAST 2006.

[@g.dfirestarta6474]

@@KameWeeb Pssh, try 1999 buckaroo😂 this was my first “log ride”. I was telling my wife and daughter about it and got real nostalgic watching it. Great place.

[@GardeBlaze]

Simple, peaceful ride with a good drop at the end. Feels like it could use a little something more though, but I'm not sure what. Also interesting to see a chain lift on a log flume. Pretty much every other log flume that I've seen uses a conveyor belt for the lift.

[@JuliusAndTheOthers]

The only other one I know of is Chiapas at Phantasialand

[@ruthpullis9279]

I see what you mean I never been there but something is definitely missing

[@sgtrainicorn5796]

The chain fits with the old-fashioned vibe

[@KassidyGinn]

It could use a couple small drops before the end.

[@ryanbales4987]

missing some country animals singing songs

[@chronomatt6990]

Sad to see very little theming, especially with so many great flume rides that could act as inspiration.

[@gracetherobloxperson9632]

Me and my family love this ride❤

[@susanmcdermott8147]

I would rather watch these then actually get on the ride lol.

[@ScammerStudio]

Same here! Lol!

[@cooperstewart917]

The ride is not scary it’s super fun! My home park is Dollywood I ride everytime I go

[@casongocanesandmarlins4534]

I went to Dollywood today. Dont go on wield egale or lighting poll. the rest are super gun

[@cade3166]

CasonCODM Wild Eagle and Lightning Rod are the two best rollercoasters there.

[@brehackett1749]

I’m at dolly wood rn and I’m in the 3 hour long dragon flier line

[@davidimhoff2118]

This reminds me of the log flume we had a Rocky Point Park in Warwick, RI. I wish I could of seen those seats. They look identical! This was the 90s when our park closed.

[@ratlips4363]

So exciting!

[@samcampbell1351]

Great camera work. Usually log flumes are hard to film the drop.

[@vanillachu6469]

Dollywood is the only amusement park I have been to and I personally enjoy it very much,if you go there I would recommend The Dragonfly, The Firechaser Express, and the Wild Eagle ❤️ and all the water rides just bring an extra pair of clothes

[@danielletillotson7420]

Love this ride!!

[@tinaperkins7861]

Was on that ride about a week ago. Was great. Loved dollywood. Going back next year

[@angelamagruder5911]

This was fun love water rides!!!!!!

Cool ride!!

[@Leospartner]

I was on this yesterday, it’s so much fun

[@lancerobinson8889]

What a great ride.😊

[@philrabe910]

Wow that's quite a drop! I love how all the attractions use the topography of the site.

[@samuelitooooo]

Wow, the view right before the drop

[@jessicapennington6185]

me and my family love this ride

[@cmeller55]

I like that the water is rough through the channel. Much more fun than the peaceful slow pace a lot of flumes have.

[@richarddelgado8913]

What an awesome video

[@lil_timmythegoat5064]

I’m going to tmrw I’m so hyped

[@mariawid4741]

Oh wow, so funny ride. I wish we had it here in Sweden. 😍😍😍

[@haeley_notfound8710]

I remember riding this and I legit pasted out at the drop 😂

[@mitchellries256]

This is a bit of a surprise. I didn't think you were one for filming log flumes.

[@Ariel-xz8lg]

That's a ride for Seniors. Videoing was stellar!

[@jonny-b4954]

Love log flumes. But always thought Arrow should have put a little suspension on the wheels that bump into the sides. It's a bit jerky sometimes.

[@horseshoe_nc]

I was thinking that was an Arrow ride, by the sound of the lift.

[@walterfink9782]

Very jerky. Bumper cars are much smoother. Not a ride for me.

[@maryschneider2759]

Looks fun.

[@mustanggarland24]

Awesome 😎

[@birdz_2939]

I remember getting on the front seat one time and you get soaked but it’s super fun

[@williamsmith4414]

That Rollercoaster is my favorite in DW.🎢

[@williamsmith4414]

@Sebastian Freeman OK, a water slide-ride

[@LogiBear59]

*log-flume

[@cascouture]

I wish this ride had restraints

[@wurlitzer78]

why

[@cascouture]

@@wurlitzer78 Because I don’t wanna feel like I’m about to fly off the damn thing

[@joshuathompson8719]

Me and my friend, didn’t know you couldn’t put your stuff in bins, and when we got on our bags were completely soaked

[@bonniewaddell2860]

Does that ride stope for you to get on

[@dawnsprague252]

This looks quite rough going around the turns

[@lancerobinson8889]

The track looks like rocks! Good theming. I wonder how much Dolly had to do with the design. I heard she hates thrill rides of all kinds.😊

[@elisabetrouge]

I really wish this had a restraint or seatbelt component

[@qxerts]

Bro same it feel like u about to fall off

[@ruthowens2640]

1 hill ?? I can handle that Perfectly riding

[@gloriabieber661]

No seatbelts lol I live 2 hours away from there and we go all the time I just hate not having seatbelts

[@gregoryviers7722]

If your coming to town and going to be here a few days go to Food City and buy a yearly pass to Dollywood. Its cheaper by far this way.

[@aaronmerkel5216]

not much to it but very relaxing up until the drop 😅

[@reptidan]

Is the ride op reading a magazine? at 3:40? lol

[@ladennayoung2939]

❤❤❤

[@johnbutts8169]

I went on yesterday

[@AnonymousPerson112]

It looks way higher in person trust me

[@abovethefirehouse]

how high is the final drop?

[@JAYLANDS1119]

59”

[@abovethefirehouse]

@@JAYLANDS1119 just a few feat taller then Splash Mountain in Cali

[@casedoumasr656]

Good but short ride Cjd 🌌

[@jstan022]

This ride could use some addition of audio components to help with all the theming they placed.

[@nikocadoavocadoswaterweigh7336]

Amazing ride!! Every year at the end of our school year my principal buys everyone in the school tickets to dollywood!!! Its a shame she isnt here with us anymore (went to a new school) but it was awesome! All of the food, and rides were payed for!!!

[@claireschlosberg8654]

I went on their ride

[@johnharris6655]

Just went to Dollywood and did not get on this ride, now I am glad I did not. It seems like all it does is go up and down without and real scenery. Knott's Berry Farm's log ride has a lumber mill theme and their are multiple scenes and drops to make the ride more fun.

[@NoahDKitts]

Don’t knock it til’ you try it…

[@lisas7741]

I liked your video so you’d get the likes but this ride was very lackluster, I was very disappointed in it. Thanks for the POV

[@gloriabieber661]

No seatbelts lol I live 2 hours away from there and we go all the time I just hate not having seatbelts

[@KatyBGames]

i put my hands up last time and i pushed my feet against the floor board...and i turned out fine lol

[@user-ux9jk6st3c]

The only bad thing about this ride is they are no seat belts so when you go down that hill you pretty much r flying 😭

[@marcgilliam1597]

DOLLYWOOD I'm going to go to DOLLYWOOD for this summer

[@fantaoramge]

Rode this once, hated that there are no restaints. Obviously you don't need them and it's a moving ride so you don't have time to be buckled and have someone check it.... but horrifying still

[@deborahsmith8930]

I work their when they open that ride Miss work their

[@yasminenazarine1629]

Frightining in the water 🧐😳😬 But I can I can cover my eyes not see it

[@DannyD714]

some atmospheric music would be nice,otherwise it looks like a fun flume ride.
