They say where there's smoke, there's fire. Well, in the Smoky Mountains that's more than just a saying. Fortunately, it seems like with every big blaze, there?????????ve always been a few brave souls willing to answer the call ????????? heroes able to tame nature?????????s fury and preserve the Smokies for generations to come!

Now comes your turn to celebrate that heroic spirit in a new coaster that's sure to test your mettle, and leave you screaming for more! It's the FireChaser Express ????????? the nation's first dual launch family coaster ????????? blasting riders forward and backward!

In the live stream, they indicated that the height requirement is only 39 inches.

Dollywood already has another coaster called Blazin' Fury. Fire Chaser is literally a two word adjective for Blazin' Fury. Wtf? Herschend logic...

No it's not. Blazin' Fury is one such fury that is described as blazing; either very hot or moving very quickly. Firechaser Express describes a specific express, a vehicle which is used to chase a fire, hence firechaser. I'm not sure how those two are related at all.

I wish they had released some renderings of the layout, I really have no idea what we can expect with this. Did they even release who is manufacturing it?

I've been looking back all day. Footers are down so they must have some layout. Can't wait to find out!

This is looking less exciting than I originally thought.
