PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (AP) Dolly Parton is putting some more big curves into her Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge. And some big dips and spins, too.
Tennessee's top tourist draw will add a $17 million steel roller coaster called "Mystery Mine" next year.
It's the biggest single capital investment in the park's 21-year history.
The coaster, with the theme of an abandoned coal mine, will take riders on a 2 1/2-minute trip.
The 1,800 foot coaster will cover an acre and join Dollywood's other major coaster, the wooden Thunderhead.
