The Tennessee Tornado Rollercoaster at Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, TN

Arrow Dynamics, who made the Tennessee Tornado on all of their coasters previous to this one had loops that were basically one size fits all.  With the Tornado instead of hoisting the standard loop however many feet off the ground to accompany the speed the coaster was going at that point they just made the loop bigger making for a much better ride if you ask me.

The Tennessee Tornado speeds across the valley from one side to the other.

It's actually a little hard to take photos of the Tornado as most of the ride is built away from where park guests can get near it.

The Tennessee Tornado is such a fun coaster.  Had Arrow been building them like this all along maybe they'd still be around.
