RiverRush at Dollywood’s Splash Country Tennessee’s first and only water coaster is at Dollywood’s Splash Country. RiverRush is the next generation of water coasters, traveling along a track of power climbs, plunging drops, hairpin turns and dark tunnels, with big splashes of rushing water.

Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster This isn’t a typical roller coaster. What makes the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster different is during the mile-long spiral down the mountainside, passengers are in full control of their ride and can literally put on the brakes any time they want.
