Daredevil Falls is a water ride located in Dollywood, consisting of a pipe-like tunnel and a 60 degree drop.
History
The ride opened in April 1998 as a replacement of the old Flooded Mine attraction like the one at the sister park to Dollywood, Silver Dollar City, and was manufactured by Hopkins Rides of Contoocook, New Hampshire.
Queue
The ride is set in a community called Lost River which is a logging community that takes the riders into an abandoned saw mill
Ride
Riders board on a log themed car and go into a pipe. As the vehicle enter the pipe, there's a fluttering noise and red eyes glowing. Riders leave the pipe and there is a bear wrecking a tent. The vehicle makes a sharp turn and goes up a steep lift hill. Once on top, there is a saw coming towards the riders which then turns to the 60 degree drop and then take a sharp turn and pull into the station.
