The name of the town is genius enough — Pigeon Forge, Tennessee — but Dolly Parton is never satisfied. So her theme park is adding a new roller coaster.
''I've had to keep my big mouth shut about the Mystery Mine, but I can tell you now,'' Dolly said. ''It's the most exciting thing to come out of these hills in a long, long time.''
Tennessee's top tourist draw, Dollywood, will add a $17.5 million steel roller coaster called ''Mystery Mine'' in 2007, the country singer and actress announced. It's the biggest single capital investment in the park's 21-year history.
The coaster, with the theme of an abandoned coal mine, will take riders on a 2.5 minute trip featuring a weightless inversion known as a ''heart-line roll,'' a double inversion known as a ''rollover loop'' and a kind of half-loop climb. The 1,811-foot coaster will cover an acre and join Dollywood's other major coaster, the wooden Thunderhead.
Will they blast Dolly’s music overheard while you’re spinning around? Now that would really be trip worth taking.
