We recently had the opportunity to visit Dollywood to see what’s new to the park in 2023. Let’s just say, we hope you already have your trips planned! You won’t want to miss the big things coming to Dollywood this year.
The best way to visit Dollywood is with a season pass. The numbers are there – if you plan to visit twice a year, a season pass saves you money! The most affordable pass option for families is the Silver Season pass. A Silver Pass gives you access to all of the Dollywood festivals, including everyone’s favorite Smoky Mountain Christmas, a $5 discount on daily tickets, and two Bring-a-Friend free tickets to use during the 2023 season. The adult Silver pass and Bring-a-Friend tickets do have a few blackout dates during peak seasons, but the Child pass does not have any blackout dates.
Be sure to comment on this post and to enter on Facebook and Instagram for our Two Silver Season Passes giveaway! {Live March 9th}
This makes the Silver pass by far the most economical option for families who want to visit Dollywood. And don’t forget, if you have a child in Pre-K they automatically qualify for a FREE 2023 season pass, so be sure to register for one!
Something BIG coming to Dollywood in 2023 is Big Bear Mountain, the new family coaster. If you visited the park last season, you probably saw all the construction happening in Wildwood Grove. We’re excited to say we got to check out the new rollercoaster and it’s 75% complete and almost ready to launch!
This family thrill coaster is the perfect way for your little thrill seekers to get their dose of adrenaline and it’s also a great way to introduce your children to the excitement of rollercoasters. Here are a few facts about the new ride:
- It’s the longest coaster at Dollywood, wrapping entirely around Wildwood Grove
- It stays under 50 MPH
- The ride will last a minute and 40 seconds
- The ride height requirement is 39 inches
- Riders will sit upright in a jeep-like vehicle and be secured at the waist
- 66 feet is the highest track elevation
In classic Dollywood fashion, there is a folktale and old lore to explore as you get ready to ride Big Bear Mountain. This new coaster adds to the stories of Wildwood Grove and takes your family on a brand-new adventure.
Are you ready to visit Dollywood to see what’s new in 2023?

We absolutely love Dollywood! Last year we timed it right after spring break and literally walked on to almost every ride! It was amazing! Can’t wait to go back this year!
Would love to take my kids – they’ve never been. Ages 3 and 1.
The family coaster sounds like so much fun! Love Dollywood roller coasters! Thanks for the info!
We love Dollywood and would love passes to go.

Thank you for the info! It looks so fun!
We had a pass to Dollywood last year and it we made the best memories! I’m super excited the height requirement on the new coaster is 39 inches!!!
I’ve always loved Dollywood but having a kid, makes it even more incredible! Can’t wait to check out what’s new!
We took our kids to Dollywood for their first time December of last year. They absolutely loved it. The lights were amazing and they got to eat their first ever funnel cake (what was I depriving them of haha) it was freezing cold but still had tons of fun. Would LOVE to go back during the warm weather :). I grew up going to Dollywood as a kid and would love to make the same memories with my kids!
