About Big Bear Mountain

Big Bear Mountain at Dollywood is a family launched coaster opened in 2023, designed by Vekoma. The layout is the longest at Dollywood at 3,990 feet with three launches and a top speed of 48 mph. The ride takes guests on an outdoor adventure through Wildwood Grove themed to a search for Big Bear, the elusive park mascot. Ride duration about 3 minutes.

Big Bear Mountain is family-friendly with a 39-inch height limit, so accessible to most children. Queues typically run 30-60 minutes during peak season. The longer ride time and family-friendly profile make it a strong second-tier option when waits at Lightning Rod are excessive.

Big Bear Mountain has averaged about 25 minutes of wait over recent weeks, and is typically busiest around 15:00 and quietest around 14:00. Over the last two weeks it has been open around 85% of the park's operating hours. It's typically quietest on Sundays and busiest on Tuesdays.
