One, if not the best, Arrow looper to date. This is one of the most over looked coaster. It is a very fun and thrilling ride. On the last loop your pullin alot of G's, don't be surprised if you black out here...

The best Arrow looper! The ride may be short, but it's amazingly great. My favorite part is first drop through the mountain.

It's one of the best Arrow roller coasters I have ever been on. It's a short ride but it is a lot of fun.

A short coaster that is at least smooth, uncharacteristic of its manufacturer. Good for a 3/5

I thought this ride was rougher than Loch Ness Monster and Anaconda, which are also Arrow loopers. It was also a bit too short with the drop into the mountian being the best part.

An unbelieveably short ride, but extremely effective in what it does. Easily the smoothest and my favorite Arrow Looper.

Tennessee Tornado is great. It features a 128 foot drop into a dark tunel going into the mountain. Once you emerge from the tunnel your thrown into a 110 foot tall loop. Next it makes a turn and you head into back to back loops. It's a wonderful coaster and if you are going to Dollywood you must ride this ride.

Yes, the ride is short. Many will complain, but it makes you want MORE! Dollywood rarley has long lines...so this ride is normally no more than then minutes, causing yourself to ride over and again and over! Very intense and you get awesome airtime in the back on the first drop. Very smooth. An A class Arrow ride.

Tennessee Tornado isn't much of anything. It's just relatively smooth, and is extremely short. It's by far one of the better Arrow Custom Loopers, but, as with many Arrows, it isn't much to speak of. I did like the drop into the tunnel though. It has a violent hop-onto-brake too...

I loved this coaster! Loved it! I think I will add it to my top ten. Smooth, fast, fun, and it was a walk-on on a Friday! This is a really fun coaster you can go and ride over and over again.

This ride is definitely fun for a head rush, but its over in about a minute! That is the sad part. =[
