Whistle Punk Chaser is a junior roller coaster in the Timber Canyon area of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Zamperla built it as one of its family coaster models, and it opened on May 21, 2017, the same year the park opened its Drop Line tower.
The name comes from two jobs on a logging crew, the whistle punk and the chaser, in keeping with Timber Canyon's logging-camp theme. Dollywood presents it as a first coaster for younger riders, with twists and turns that prepare them for the area's Thunderhead wooden coaster. The layout includes a helix and has no inversions, and riders are held by a lap bar.
Riders must be at least 36 inches tall.
