This is the hockiest ride ever. That makes it so fun. It just seems classic. The animatronics are so terrible they are fun. The second drop was surprising. It was fun and fast. The indoor sections while cheesy were impressive at the end. 8/10 - Edward Morgan

It is a classic indoor ride at Dollywood, that I have been riding for a lot of years. It has a small hill. Lots of fun sceans inside and a run away train coming right at you. Very fun. - Joe Schwartz

Well, it's not exactly the kind of coaster I adore, but not every coaster is a Wild Eagle, Mystery Mine caliber. Good family ride, and the drop is pretty unexpected. Also, I'd say it's a classic. - Bradley Keith

I was actually scared the most on this ride than any other at Dollywood. It was dark and confusing at points and I didn't know when the drop was. Very corny animatronics and audio, but a really fun classic! Love it! 7/10 - Bryce McGibeny

Blazing Fury is a dark ride that uses a coaster train to propel riders slowly past various scenes of a town in serious trouble. Overall the ride is quite fun and imminently repeatable. Keep in mind that this ride is not a fast moving indoor coaster, but a slow moving dark ride with a few thrills thrown in for good measure. Commendable. - James Rao

It is a classic at Dollywood. I remember riding it as a little kid and thinking it was fun. Now, as an adult, I agree that it needs to be updated. It shouldn't be changed much because I like the idea of keeping a classic ride at Dollywood, but even my 5 year old wasn't that impressed. - Stephanie Warlick

This ride needs to be updated. The ride is somewhat rough, but fun. The scenes are bad. It is hard to understand a story other than a town-wide fire. The worst dark ride i have ridden. It's worth riding once, but that's it. 6/10. - David L.

Good in a campy sort of way. Hoped for some longer free coasting time, but it's a fun ride. - Marc Ricketts

Great ride! I have tons of fantastic memories with this ride! I remember when I was little and I cried everytime before I went on it. It's one of my favorites at Dollywood! It should always stay there. - Cass Davis

I've been going to Dollywood for many yrs. and to this day the Blazing Fury is my all time favorite ride in the entire park. The theme of it showing all the old time fire fighters and funny life size animated dummies is great. I hope they always keep this ride going in the park for yrs to come. Young and old will enjoy this ride and talk about it to all their family and friends. - B Johnson
