Dollywood
Closed
Lightning Rod ® is a high-speed wooden coaster at Dollywood that launches you from zero to full throttle in seconds, sending riders racing over steep hills and sharp drops through a Smoky Mountain hot-rod theme. The experience feels like a wild muscle-car run through the mountains, with rapid airtime moments, sudden turns, and a roaring track that keeps adrenaline high from start to finish. Views of the surrounding park flash by as the train dives and climbs, making this a must-do for thrill-seekers looking for one of Dollywood’s most intense and exciting rides.
