  • Tennessee Pressedienst
    TENNESSEE TOURISM State of Tennessee Pressedienst: 13. Januar 2016 Zum Saisonbeginn des Themenparks Dollywood am 19. März Schnellste Holzachterbahn vor dem Start Mit der weltweit schnellsten Holzachterbahn als Neuigkeit startet Dolly Partons Themenpark Dollywood in Tennessee am 19. März in die neue Saison. Das Spitzentempo von 117 Stundenkilometern macht „Lightning Rod“ zur schnellsten Holzachterbahn der Welt. Erstmals beschleunigt ein Katapult. Bisher fuhren auf Holzgerüsten nur von Ketten emporgezogene Züge. Design und Name des 12teiligen Zuges für insgesamt 24 Passagiere sollen an getunte, bunte Autos aus den 1950er-Jahren erinnern, erklärte der Country-Musik- und Filmstar Dolly Parton. Die Namenspatronin und Miteigentümerin des Themenparks am Rande des Ferienorts Pigeon Forge im Osten des Bundestaats Tennessee ist in der Nachbargemeinde Sevierville aufgewachsen. Das Katapult schießt den Zug mit dann schon 72 Stundenkilometern 20 Stockwerke hoch, um dann rund 50 Meter in die Tiefe zu rasen – zum ersten adrenalinbringenden „Drop“ auf der 1,16 Kilometer langen Fahrt. Zusammengerechnet verspricht der drei Minuten und 12 Sekunden dauernde Ritt rund 20 Sekunden „Airtime“ – das an Schwerelosigkeit grenzende Erlebnis. Der 22 Millionen Dollar teure Neubau ist die größte Einzelinvestition in der Geschichte des Themenparks. Dollywoods Erfolgsrezept heißt: Innovation. 2012 ging mit Wild Eagle die erste Wing-Achterbahn in den USA an den Start: ein 20 Millionen-Dollar-Ride, bei dem die Sitze unter den Flügeln stilisierter Adler hängen. Der angrenzende Wasserpark Splash Country legte 2013 nach mit RiverRush, Tennessees erster und einziger Wasserachterbahn. 2014 machte der Fire Chaser Express als erste „Familienachterbahn“ mit Rückwärtsgang Schlagzeilen. Thunderhead zählt seit Jahren zu den fünf besten Holzachterbahnen der Welt, und weitere Bahnen wie Mystery Mine, ___________________________________________________________________________________ Tennessee Tourism State of Tennessee Department of Tourist Development Horstheider Weg 106a 33613 Bielefeld Deutschland Tel.
