Fire Chaser Express- Dollywood Pigeon Forge Tennessee w/extra video of Switch Track [4K]

FireChaser Express is a steel launched family roller coaster located at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Built by Gerstlauer and features two launches, two helices and six zero-g moments. It may seem mild to some but we found it to be pretty fun with the theming and whipping around the track backwards. We especially enjoyed the mechanics of the switch track which we show at the end of the video.

The theme is based on the several volunteer-based fire departments surrounding the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the 1940s.[After a brief message from Fire Chief Embers, the station's siren goes off as the "truck" launches out of the station and navigates a few curves before hitting the chain lift. The ride proceeds into a small curve drop into another curve then a drop into several camelbacks. After the camelbacks the train goes through a tower and navigates through Crazy Charlie's fireworks testing range before hitting an s-bend and entering Charlie Cherribaum's Gasoline and Fireworks Emporium, through the storage warehouse. Charlie panics, saying he sees smoke, but then dismisses it as a result of his paranoia as a spark ignites a box of firecrackers and a few tanks of gas. The fire catches Charlie by surprise, and he tells the volunteers (riders) to watch out for Big Bertha and to leave the building; as he says this, a large firecracker labeled "Big Bertha" falls into a position where it points directly at the train, and the fire ignites the fuse, which begins to throw sparks. As the fireworks start to go off, the room fills with smoke and a series of loud bangs are heard as the train accelerates backwards onto a different track, where it navigates a few more turns and passes underneath another fire tower before hitting the final brake run. Fire Chief Embers praises the work of the volunteers as the train in the station is launched. The track switches again as the train backs into the station, where riders unload and exit the station. The track length is 2,427 feet. - Coasterpedia
