Mystery Mine front seat on-ride HD POV @60fps Dollywood

Mystery Mine was the first Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter in the USA when it opened in 2007 and many coaster enthusiasts still consider it to be the best themed thanks to its many special effects and its haunted storyline.
Dollywood is located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
This is the exact same video as the Mystery Mine 3D front seat on-ride POV video we posted for those that cannot view the 3D version on their phone or tablet. Here's the link to the 3D video we posted: • Mystery Mine 3D front ...

Random Taurus It’s not that bad tho

[@michibmoon]

It's honestly not that intense, this is coming from someone who was terrified to ride the Tennessee Tornado! Mystery Mine is perfect for someone wanting to get more into rollercoaster since it has fun scenery as well as no huge drops or anything. It's really fun :)

I worked with the local crew who were contracted to build this Coaster. It was a fun, challenging project to work on, and my first time assisting in the construction of a Coaster. My main job was as a Special Effects Technician, first building, then installing & testing the SFX and Illussions, specifically the Dynamite Room. DCF

Do they train local construction workers to help on the project or what? I know Gerstlauer obviously designed the ride, but how do they get workers for the actual construction? Especially on bigger projects like Lightning Rod

I went on this ride expecting it to be nice and tame, and I even kept my glasses on (I wasn't thinking it would go upside down). Halfway through the ride I realized that this was anything but tame😂 and at one point my glasses were barely hanging off my face! It was a blessing from God they didn't fall off! Over all I loved the ride, and now me and my sister are not afraid of roller coasters like we used to be😁

[@Harleste]

Even though it's gotten a little bumpy with age, it's still a really fun ride. Living in east Tennessee, I've lost count of how many times I've actually ridden it by now. It's weird, though, the drop after the "explosion" at the end looked delayed on this ride through. Normally the drop begins right as the pyro happens, and you don't really have time to look at it before dropping face first.

Rode this on my summer vacation there, I really loved it a lot! My dad stayed with my mom because she can't ride rollercoasters without her neck hurting really bad so I went on my own. I finally boarded the ride after about a half an hour and I was sitting next to this woman and her two daughters. I was a bit worried at first but I calmed down remembering that I've rode faster ones than this (I love rollercoasters) so the woman was like, "Are you scared?" And I told her no but after the first drop I accidentally started cussing and she was in tears from laughing so hard. Good thing my parents didn't hear me say some of the stuff I did because I would be GROUNDED 😂 but after the loop at the end the woman asked me if I was okay. My mom and Dad kept the picture from the ride and Still tease me about it. 😄🎢

[@teddym2808]

love the unique layout, especially the twist and dive, as well as the excellent theming, but this coaster needs some smoothing.. lap bar only cars would be a great start.. It doesn't need OTSR's, and Dollywood made a bad choice in this regard.. Still, the snazziest Eurofighter around, and definitely worth a ride. Or ten.

[@dayahsmith3962]

As someone who has been on this coaster countless times, I'll give you some tips. You actually DO need OTSR's because towards the end of the ride you hang upside for a total of 4 seconds. Over the lap bars wouldn't keep you as safe as you would like to be on this ride. To keep from head banging on the restraints lean forward all the way against the bars comfortably and it keeps you from hitting your head.

[@phlogchamp]

Have you seen HangTime by chance? Have you ridden Cannibal in Lagoon? They have lap bars and have more hangtime than Mystery Mine. You do not need OTSR.

[@FlunxPrime]

Good ride, but a head banger
