Lemon Twist at Dollywood | Classic Spinning Ride in Country Fair

---

Lemon Twist is a vibrant and classic spinning attraction that adds a zesty flair to the Country Fair section. Featuring oversized lemon-shaped carriages revolving around a giant central pitcher, this ride offers a playful twist on the traditional teacup experience. The primary benefit of Lemon Twist is the interactive control it grants; a steering wheel in the center of each lemon allows guests to customize their speed, choosing between a gentle glide or a high-speed spin. It is a nostalgic favorite that delivers a refreshing burst of fun and laughter for riders of all ages.

Parent Swap

Dollywood’s Parent Swap program, also known as Rider Switch, allows families with children who do not meet ride height requirements to enjoy select attractions without waiting in line twice. All members of the group enter the ride through the regular Guest line, where a Ride Host will assist with the Parent Swap process. One adult remains in a designated, secure waiting area with the non-rider while the rest of the group boards the attraction. After the first ride cycle, adults switch places so the waiting adult can ride. On select attractions, additional group members may be permitted to ride again. All Guests exit the attraction together following the Parent Swap experience.

Strollers and loose articles are not permitted.
