Tennessee Tornado is a phenomenal coaster. It is quite short, but what it lacks in length it makes up for in pacing, intensity, re-ridability, and pure fun. The inversions provide some incredible positive Gs, and the first drop is quite an unexpected surprise. Every single element from station to brakes is extremely unique, especially for an Arrow coaster--and they flow together seemlessly, both physically and aesthetically. And speaking of aesthetics, the Tornados location on a lush, green mountainside in the very back of Dollywood provides the perfect backdrop for such an aptly themed marvel. I cant praise this coaster enough. In fact, this may be the only Arrow multielement coaster to rival the brilliance of Drachen Fire, in my opinion.
