Mine Facts
Mystery Mine, scheduled to open at Dollywood in spring 2007,
is the United States’ first system based on Gerstlauer’s
Euro-fighter ride, which combines an intimate guest experience
with hair-raising 95-degree drops. 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.
