i rode this one yesterday, and lemme tell you, this one’s absolutely amazing for people who don’t like drops because once you get going, the tingly feeling in your torso goes away quick and the speed is absolutely amazing would recommend this one for first time riders
Rode this for the sixth time today and I cannot stress enough how intense this coaster is for it being a “family” coaster. I love Lightning Rod and Wild Eagle and Thunderhead but this is arguably the most fun coaster in the park. It’s nonstop action and you get legitimate airtime and laterals as well as some crushing positive G’s. I’ve seen 5 year olds riding it and I’ve seen 75 year olds riding it. It’s truly a perfect coaster for literally anyone
After reading the other comments on this video I’m glad I’m not the only one, lol. If you’re planning on riding this for the first time definitely prepare yourself for something more than what you think it is. 100% recommend though
I rode it 2 days ago, and it shocked me with how good it was. Great positives, phenomenal sense of speed, surprising laterals, excellent launches, and awesome onboard audio. My #2 there after Lightning Rod
Got to ride Big Bear Mountain 10-12-23. I must say the theme throughout the queue line was excellent. The ride is 1 of the best in the park. A fantastic addition to Dollywood
This looks really great! I rode mostly all of the Dollywood coasters last year on my first visit now it looks like I have to coke back and give this a try! I like how there keeping it a family friendly roller coaster but also a thriller too!
I went with my family today, and didn’t fit on the ride, so was happy to find this video because I could see what my husband & adult daughters were able to enjoy!
You may want to update your description; 39 inches is closer to 99 cm, not 9 cm. Though, it does bring me joy to know that even the impractically small among us can ride this, as long as we measure in metric 😅
I just went on this yesterday, road it 7 times and even got my mom in on it who hates roller coasters. It was so much fun and I plan on riding this again when I return another time to Tennessee.
This ride slaps. I just rode it today. The scariest part is either the beginning launch or when your up high. The high one feels like you go straight down but you dont at all
For those watching before your first ride on this I went on this earlier and here are some things to note / tips 1. This ride is a little more intense than it looks ( I learned this the hard way) 2. The dips are more steep/ intense than it looks ( I suggest holding on to the person next to you during them) 3. The launch is not a jumpscare start it is noticeable before it happens 4. RIDE DURING THE DAY ( this was my biggest mistake because I couldn’t tell what was going on) 5. Expect a long wait ( I was in line for 2 hours) 6. Have a non-rider hold any bags or sunglasses you have 7. Enjoy your ride on the big bear mountain, it’s a great coaster ( and was personally my first steel coaster) and I hope you have a great time on the ride and at Dollywood ❤😊
Glad I went on that Rollercoaster just this once last week with my Dad, and boy was this a wild rollercoaster of a ride! (plus I did the Goofy Holler about 5 times!)
Thank you for doing this video. I will be there with my family driving from Florida. Nice addition, considering lightning rod will probably be temporarily closed when we go. 😂😂😂
Finally got to go on this last week and goddamn the video doesn't do it justice on how INTENSE this ride actually is! Till we meet again one day, Dollywood!
This was the biggest and fastest coaster I have been on, I went with my dad yesterday and I was screaming “GET ME OFF OH MAH GAWD” and he gripped me, but I don’t like rollercoasters and surprisingly I put my hands up at the tall part, it was really fun, and if you don’t like coasters, let this one be an easy one for you
Love the design on the new Vekoma Track. It's a U or horseshoe shape. They should use this new track on most of thier coasters. Thier family suspended coasters, launch coasters, looping coasters, and someday for their Hyper Coaster Models
Wonderful family coaster...It was fun for my 10 year old thrill-seeking daughter, and just at the brink of too intense for my 6 year old daughter, but she wanted to ride again.
Rode this yesterday. It has 3 electromagnetic launches to keep up the speed. My advice is try to relax body and lean into the curves. If you stiffen up and try to resist..you'll feel sore later...lol
Dollywood and trees don’t mix lol Lightning rod was closed for two months because a tree fell on the track. I rode this the other day, it’s fine the way it is. You have on board audio and it actually goes VERY fast. Landscaping isn’t a big deal lol they’ve already planted trees on the ridge behind the coaster
Probably one of the best family launch coasters I’ve seen.
Hagrids?
@@JesseJesa That’s why I said “*ONE* of the best family launch coasters” 😊
@@JesseJesaeveryone doesn’t have 300 million dollars to spend on one coaster. this is the best one since
@@r.t.c.no.1529 oh ok 👍
@@maincoasters Hagrids is miles better than this, which is why it cost more
I had no idea this had onride audio. That's dope. Big Bear LORE
I'm fairly certain that there's statues of Big Bear around dollywood, too
The story thickens
I must know more ‘bout big bear now lol
And bear tracks..
This looks like one of the best flowing rollercoasters I’ve seen in a long time so smooth and perfect turns and crests
i rode this one yesterday, and lemme tell you, this one’s absolutely amazing for people who don’t like drops because once you get going, the tingly feeling in your torso goes away quick and the speed is absolutely amazing
would recommend this one for first time riders
The tingly feeling is all in your head and you desensitize to it the more you experience the sensation.
@@BlotRorschach no, its your organs in your stomach moving upwards
The pov I've been waiting for. No one does it better!
Ide rather get the pov to grizzleys retrack.
@@askjeevescosby2928 well that just opened yesterday, and this coaster I believe opened on Friday. So, I'm sure that will come this week.

Just rode it today, and lemme just say that might be my favorite Coaster at Dollywood!!
One of the most underrated family coasters at any park. It's a blast.
It won best family coaster in the Golden ticket awards. :)
I rode it 2 days ago, and it shocked me with how good it was. Great positives, phenomenal sense of speed, surprising laterals, excellent launches, and awesome onboard audio. My #2 there after Lightning Rod
How tall to ride?
3'1
Does thunderhead not exist anymore
@@inlinechris I like Thunderhead, but it’s not top 2 in the park for me
It’s worth the drive to the park alone, such a great addition
POV looks 20 mph slower than it really is. 3 launches and plenty of twists and turns. It’s awesome.
Got to ride Big Bear Mountain 10-12-23. I must say the theme throughout the queue line was excellent. The ride is 1 of the best in the park. A fantastic addition to Dollywood

this was my first “big” rollercoaster and it’s my favorite
for a family coaster that second half looks exhilarating
I went with my family today, and didn’t fit on the ride, so was happy to find this video because I could see what my husband & adult daughters were able to enjoy!
Most intense looking “family coaster” I have ever seen. Also the longest! Geez this ride travels some distance!
You may want to update your description; 39 inches is closer to 99 cm, not 9 cm. Though, it does bring me joy to know that even the impractically small among us can ride this, as long as we measure in metric 😅
This coaster looks insane ! Could ride it all day long
This looks so fun! Totally my speed for a roller coaster 🎢
This looks mad fun!! Would be top tier if they planted more trees up and down the mountain around the track.
They’re growin
yeah definitely going to add to the ride once some more greenery grows in and you are rushing past some trees.
It has to grow god damn it
@@erikm8372 that’s gonna take years tho :(
They will
Super fun! If you go, its a MUST DO
The coaster was so fun, but that background music on the ride really sold it for me, combined with the pretty stellar view
I just went on this yesterday, road it 7 times and even got my mom in on it who hates roller coasters. It was so much fun and I plan on riding this again when I return another time to Tennessee.
This ride slaps. I just rode it today. The scariest part is either the beginning launch or when your up high. The high one feels like you go straight down but you dont at all
This ride is fantastic. Just ride it today and the coaster is nothing but pure joy 😊
Dude, perfect ride. Fast, banks, no huge drops. I love this
Riding this at night is the best time!
yes!
This looks like such a fun ride with some really good passing!
Such a fantastic coaster. My 3 year old loved it!!!

I went on it and I did not expect it to be so good. The wave turn after the second launch is amazing 🤩
this ride is elevated by like 5x cuz of the onboard audio especially at night it feels so cool
This looks like a fun family coaster, and it's going to get even better once some trees and other plants grow back in.
Glad I went on that Rollercoaster just this once last week with my Dad, and boy was this a wild rollercoaster of a ride! (plus I did the Goofy Holler about 5 times!)
Of the three POV yours is the best, I like the ride sounds. The others talked through the ride.
The last time i was at dollywood was in 2017 im impressed with how many new rides have been built since then
That looks supee fun. Long and smooth!
I wish more family coaster were like this!
those bear roars always catch me off guard o-o
This looks fun for all ages
Omg !!
Are we there yet, lol..
That was the longest roller coasters I've seen yet.
I LOVE THIS RIDE!!
My 4 year Olds first real roller coaster today. He loved it. Went twice
We rode this the other day 8 times!! One of my favorites!
So glad they kept the music from the animated POV
whats the song name?
Thank you for doing this video. I will be there with my family driving from Florida. Nice addition, considering lightning rod will probably be temporarily closed when we go. 😂😂😂
We Need more coasters like this
I rode it, its awesome, but when it says "let's kick it into high gear" it's truly does
Rode this so many times it’s so good😂😂 i love bigbear mountain in dolly wood teneseee!
Alot more intense then I expected. I apologize for yelling if you rode between 5pm-6pm. This was only my second launch coaster.
It's pretty smooth, though. However, I would not recommend it to someone who doesn't really like coasters. Would I ride again... Maybe....
Rode this in November and LOVED IT!
this looks phenomenal
Love this coaster!!!!!
Looks so good!
I normally do fine on roller coasters however I blacked out on the very last big turn. A lot of G’s too!!!
I’m supposed to be going to Dollywood tomorrow and I’m planning to ride it! It looks so fun, I can’t wait😁
Ok, this is cool! I'm not a huge coaster fanatic. But this is cool.
I went to Dollywood but didn't get on big bear now I regret my decision it looks EXTREMELY fun!!
I’m in line for it right now. Can’t wait!!!
The Wild Eagle is so fun! But Big Bear is my fav, it’s just so.. like just fun! If you know what I mean
I used to rent a cabin nearby and all day long all you could hear was screams coming from this place.
I’m going tomorrow! I’m so excited!
Big bear mountain is one of my favorite rides at DollyWood
This at night was so fun
Really, really nice family coaster. The scenery could use some work but other than that this is a winner.
They might’ve put some hyper seed down so it grows into nice green grass in a few years
It will
Grow in.
I'm going here in two days I'm so excited
I remember riding this last year, waited for about 1 hour 30 minutes but is worth it
Nothing too crazy, but it's an interesting design and it really utilizes the terrain well...its also a nice ride length.
Finally got to go on this last week and goddamn the video doesn't do it justice on how INTENSE this ride actually is! Till we meet again one day, Dollywood!
for real!

I thought it wouldn’t take my stomach but it did just a little bit but it’s still a super fun ride.
I actually went on it! It’s so fun!
Love the design on the new Vekoma Track. It's a U or horseshoe shape. They should use this new track on most of thier coasters. Thier family suspended coasters, launch coasters, looping coasters, and someday for their Hyper Coaster Models
Is it just me or they could have easily added a screen or some sort of projection of a bear in that final tunnel?
I went here! So fun to ride! Perfect
Wonderful family coaster...It was fun for my 10 year old thrill-seeking daughter, and just at the brink of too intense for my 6 year old daughter, but she wanted to ride again.
i remember last year when i went and i saw all the track laying around and they had a big wall up
Rode this yesterday. It has 3 electromagnetic launches to keep up the speed. My advice is try to relax body and lean into the curves. If you stiffen up and try to resist..you'll feel sore later...lol
I hope they do some landscaping around this ride
Dollywood and trees don’t mix lol
Lightning rod was closed for two months because a tree fell on the track.
I rode this the other day, it’s fine the way it is. You have on board audio and it actually goes VERY fast.
Landscaping isn’t a big deal lol they’ve already planted trees on the ridge behind the coaster
@@mattcollins3591 bro is the Dollywood defender
@@jasonbaylor9865 it doesn’t need defending lol 😂
It didn’t get best theme park in the US for 3 years in a row for no reason
@@jasonbaylor9865 if you were there last spring there’s no way you saw the coaster. It wasn’t even announced until last august
They did plant some trees but they don’t grow at lightning speed
This ride is awesome.
Looks great!
Rode this today and it is amazing!
I rode this last night it was so fun
This is so fun bro
Just been on it. Love it!!
I love this ride
Looks like a great ride.
This ride will be awesome when the trees grow in around it
It needs a little bit more theming and scenery to match the story, but it looks pretty cool overall!
Can’t wait to ride this soon.
The ride is very similar to fire chaser but with the intensity increased
I went on it 13 times yesterday because it was raining so it was a walkon
This could be really cool with some good themes around it
All those bear puns, they're quite hard to ... bear.
I rode this I loved it was very smooth and just fun overall
An LIM launch coaster in 2023 is very interesting…
This was my 100th coaster credit
Helixes look like they might actually pull some Gs
This is my favorite ride at Dollywood 10/10
This looks like a coaster you would build on rollercoaster tycoon
