View this post on InstagramThe experience spans about five and a half minutes and packs in a surprising amount of variety. “During the 5 1/2-minute experience, guests soar on a nighttime flight over the scenic Smokies, enjoy a thrilling whitewater rafting excursion through more than 500,000 gallons of surging water, traverse a mountain ridge on a roller coaster and navigate a mysterious shimmering lake by boat.”
Storytelling plays a central role. Guests join twin scientists Cora and Jasper Oakley—relatives of Wildwood Grove character Ned Oakley—as they search for a glowing Secret Lake using a device called the Bioluminator. “Guests set out on their expedition to find Secret Lake with the help of twin scientists, Cora and Jasper Oakley… The twins… have invented the Bioluminator, a device designed to detect and amplify bioluminescence,” Dollywood explains.
With a new ride system, an immersive story and a family-friendly thrill level, he adds, “NightFlight Expedition offers a tantalizing mix to theme park fans hungry for something new in the new year.”
