Dolly announces plans to add FireChaser Express, the nation’s first dual-launch, forward and backward, family coaster, to Dollywood

On Aug. 21, 2013, Dolly announced Dollywood's 2014 addition would be FireChaser Express, the nation’s first dual-launch, forward and backward, family coaster.

“FireChaser Express celebrates our heroes—firefighters—and it reminds the rest of us that we can all be heroes if we’ll just step up and help others, whether it’s in a small way or a big way,”

Dolly said.

With a height requirement of 39 inches, FireChaser Express can be enjoyed by adults and children together, all while honoring firefighters who keep us safe every day.
