The oldest rides still at Dollywood are the Dollywood Express, Blazing Fury and the Smoky Mountain River Rampage. The Dollywood Express dates back to Dollywood's predecessor Rebel Railroad ...

This ride is the first of its kind at Dollywood as it takes riders along the 3,990-foot track. Visitors can also look forward to some favorites such as “Blazing Fury,” “Barnstormer” and so much more.

It’s all part of Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas. Why, there are even Christmas trees and lights lining the interior of the decades-old Blazing Fury ride at Craftsman’s Valley.

One of them, the indoor Blazing Fury ride, simulates a 19th ... No words could do justice to the sight of Dollywood's 4 million – 4 million! – Christmas lights (not that I won't try).

Today there are over 50 rides and attractions at Dollywood. Some have been there since the park's inaugural season or even before that.

Take a look into the history of Blazing Fury, the Dollywood Express and the Smoky Mountain River Rampage − the oldest rides at the park, according to Dollywood public relations director Wes Ramey.
