Big Bear Mountain Review Dollywood New for 2023 Vekoma Family Multi-Launch Coaster in Wildwood Grove

i live in knoxville and personally dollywood needs mofre thrill. More looping coasters! only 3 that have inversions and 6 that dont. We need an B&M invert like great bear or Raptor here. big bear is in my opinion a wasted investment. very low forces and not too fast tbh. id rather drive 4 hours and spend less money at six flags. its not that great of a park tbh. i like thrill and there is no thrill. the best coaster in the park is mysterymine and they ruined it by taking out the sharp overbanked turn in the first half. very disapointing park now.

They should have bear statue
Looks like a fun coaster that will be better than Dragon Flier! My only complaints are how there aren’t trees or grass in some areas and I don’t like the music, it just feels as if it doesn’t know the theme it’s going for.

I saw your photo shopped bears early on in the video and knew you were going to talk about not seeing the bear. 😂

Haha I was at Dollywood 6 hours ago 😂 I got there at 10am and stayed till 6pm
Edit: I tried this ride and it is SOOOOO much fun!!! It makes you quite dizzy tho

Wildcats revenge has started to test

pretty fun ride, didn't even mention how smooth it is if you care about that.

Would be a 10 if it had a shed at the end with Big Bear in it, big missed opportunity 😔

Ya know, maybe the Big Bear was the friends we made along the way

Bare stats 😂

lol I'm sure those bear edits were Sarah's work.

They cut down the trees because of the threat of forrwst fires.

Random question but do you plan on making a review of Juvelen? Would love to hear your thoughts about it

Is it better than thunder mountain?

I like that Dollywood is becoming a viable alternative to magic kingdom… less crowds and quality rides with 39 or 40 inch height requirement

There was a time, back in the 1970s or so, when most big theme parks concentrated on family rides, with maybe one or two big thrill coasters. Given the clientele, it made sense, but there was a kind of arms race that eventually happened, and milder coasters ended up consigned to small kiddie areas. I think it's great that somebody is concentrating on this, because aside from kids, there are a lot of adults who are just not into intense rides. I like hearing about anything I might be able to share with my non-enthusiast family.

Next video can you do darkoaster

It’s AHHHMAZING.
And also the smoothest coaster I’ve EVER ridden. Such a great ride

How does this compare to Hagrid’s?

My home park six flags New England would really benefit from this. It would need to be smaller due to space but would add a launch and great family option for the top two here. No way Six flags spends 25 million at a mid tier park

What is the thrill level of this vs Manta at SeaWorld San Diego or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind?

Well put my friend well put. Really sweet modern take on a family coaster

What do you think of Luna at Liseberg?

I’m a coaster enthusiast that has been on some of the most insane coasters in the country and this ride was so much fun for me! I really loved the smooth, quick feeling it had. Family coasters can be a little boring for me but this was not one of them. Plus, my kid loved it too.

Hagrids but orange

I may be going to Dollywood end of June so I hope to ride it. Looks like a Awsome ride. I saw a lot of it when I was there for Christmas

Too much money for a family ride

Got to ride it last week. Loved it. It was so smooth.

Just rode this today with my family. Fantastic ride. It’s just plain fun. I think it will appeal to everytype of park guest.

I just rode it on Friday. And even though it is a family coaster. It is my new favorite roller coaster in the park. Yes, I agree they need to add a bear statue or animatronic somewhere. But, it is a coaster that is always going to be in my top 10. Thankfully, I only live 3 hours away from Dollywood. So I give huge props. Amazing new ride.

The coaster sucks.they should have put in a RMC hybrid racing coaster..freaking waste of money.

From New York City to Dollywood, Tennessee!🗽🐻🗽🐻🗽🐻

I love big bear mountain

EXCELLENT VIBE in your delivery..........excellent. You are a GOOD PERSON I can tell! Subscribed!

The reason they cut down the trees around the two woodies is because they ARE woodies. They probably could not get insurance. Forest fires are a thing even in the smokey mountains.

The reason you don't have a favorite element is because there are no elements. Nothing taller, faster, more inverted, or in any way different from the rest of the ride. It's literally and endless repetition of left bank, right bank, repeat, close to the ground. That said it's pretty good but hilariously homogeneous

I did this ride yesterday for my birthday and it was so fun but also I got nauseous from all of the like twists. So I do not reccomend this coaster if you get nauseous really easily

Hey, I have twice I’ve surprise

If this park didn't have Lightning Rod, this would easily be my favorite ride in the park.

I think this ride just does everything right. Not too forceful for kids, but still enough fun for enthusiasts. Awesome length, fun elements, and butter smooth. Lightning Rod was my favorite ride in the park but I'm really glad they added this. Would love to see more of these around, and I think Disney could use this type of ride too.

I wish they was rides like this when i was a kid my first coaster was 150ft tall with 2 vertical loops and a sidewinder it terrified me and it was a while before i had the courage to ride another coaster so rides like this are needed

Bring a barf bag at the end

I think it would be cool if Dollywood added a big coaster called big bear

I know many people won't see this, but if you have the chance, do a night ride. The audio and lights add to everything making the ride so much better!

Great review! Last year's Coaster Con was my first visit to Dollywood, and BBM was the first coaster I rode at the park. I didn't have many expectations for it, and I was totally blown away by how much fun it was to ride. I might even dare to say it was my fave coaster there, lol. (That being said, Thunderhead is a GCI masterpiece, and the rest of the coaster collection is fantastic as well). Vekoma has made unbelievable progress, and I'm hoping that my home park (Canada's Wonderland) will invest in a launched Vekoma someday!

This roller coaster is just plain enjoyable it’s so smooth has mid launches and some pretty good fun elements

This is what Cedar Point should build next, replace Cedar Creek Mine Ride with an updated vision of what that could be. Theme it as well as they've themed stuff like Jungle X-pedition at King's Dominion or Ghost Town at Knott's, and voila you have another solid family ride and a much better use of that plot of land. Maybe you can go for a combo lift hill and launch layout, one of each.

I work there and went into the ride with low expectations! It is now one of my favorite rides in the park!

The last launch really caught me by surprise. It was super punchy and I definitely think that’s when you reach the max speed. The entire ride is so fun, but the whole section after the last launch is wild. I was nearly greying out on the spaghetti bowl turns lol and I definitely got some ejector airtime on that double down mainly because I pulled down my restraint to the bare minimum. I love that the workers don’t staple you. Same for thunderhead, I was fearing for my life because of how much airtime I was getting due to the level I lowered my restraint. This coaster might honestly be my favorite in the park just for how fun, smooth, and long it is

was there 3 weeks ago....Closed ? My 2 Kids wanted ride this one !
