A Ride Down Tennessee Tallest Waterslide Will Make Your Summer Complete

If you’ve ever spent any time in Tennessee in the summer, you know that it can get extremely hot and humid, but there’s no better way to beat the heat than to take the family out to the water park. Dollywood’s Splash Country, nestled in the hills of gorgeous East Tennessee, is the best of the best when it comes to Tennessee watering holes, but it holds some surprises up its sleeves as well. For example, overlooking the park is the platform for the tallest waterslide in the state, and it’s not for the faint of heart. If you love a good thrill, then you need to ride Fire Tower Falls.
