Mountain SlidewinderFlume rideMinimum height to ride: 39 inches About Mountain SlidewinderFoam toboggans take riders down a watery trough.It's a long hike up, but some say it's the best non-rollercoaster, fast thrill-ride in the USA. You will get wet and possibly drenched to the skin! -- Last edited by Ed Newman [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from Mountain SlidewinderSafety
Readers' Opinions
While this is the shortest ride in the park it is the BEST! This ride was built by hand by Silver Dollar City, Tennessee and is one of only two in the world (the other is at Silver Dollar City, Branson). Fun Fact: Mountain Slidewinder boats are made at Dollywood. - Steven Lee I'm not a huge fan of this ride. Its a loong walk up the side of the mountain which is rough in summer heat and humidity. The ride itself is ok, you do get soaked. If you're in the front its very hard to open your eyes because of the spray hitting you in the face. I was thrown around quiet a bit and it hurt. But my father-in-law loves it and would ride all day if the hike up to it wasn't so long. - Melissa Faulkner This ride is a great spare-time swallower.Some people say"Well,I've rode every ride in the park,so I guess I'll ride the Slidewinder now".They are so wrong!It is a fast-paced,fun ride with dark tunnels to keep you confused.All you can do is scream.Its a long hike up,and a fast,fun,and wet ride down! - Brandon Green
