Mystery Mine

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 48 inches

Last edited by Jordan Christian
The U.S.'s first roller coaster based on the Gerstlauer's Euro-fighter design, which combines an intimate guest experience with hair-raising 95-degree drops, and multiple inversions. Located in Dollywood’s Timber Canyon area, Mystery Mine is themed as a long-abandoned coal mine with an eerie past. Mystery Mine utilizes a state-of-the-art show experience built on special effects, audio and lots of excitement.

fun ride, love the theme behind it, great props, friendly staff, fun ride, and huge incline going up the first hill.... great ride - bryan shepard

This was my first coaster that went upside down. I never liked coasters until rode this. I am now hooked. I love te turns and the drops. - Neal Schwinzer

Starts out rough but turns into a great ride. Excellent theming. The lift hills are completely vertical, which makes a great buildup for the drops. - Phil Noteware

Very cool theming and special effects. To be such a new ride is it very rough and jerky. - Jason A
