Are you looking for exciting things to do in Pigeon Forge? Whether you’re visiting with your family, friends, or significant other, a can’t-miss experience in the Smoky Mountains is riding a mountain coaster! You’ll love speeding down a track while enjoying spectacular views all around! Keep reading to learn more about 3 Pigeon Forge coasters you need to ride during your vacation.
1. Avalanche Snow Coaster
One of the best Pigeon Forge coasters is the Avalanche Snow Coaster. This mountain coaster zips through the hills at whatever speed you prefer! You control the speed, so you can choose whether you leisurely coast around the track or zoom downhill at top speed! Simply pull the handle back to speed up or push it forward to slow down. This is the only mountain coaster in Pigeon Forge where you can ride side-by-side in the cart with another rider. While you can ride this coaster solo, it’s even more fun with a friend or family member by your side as you make lasting memories together! Single riders need to be at least 51 inches to ride alone, and anyone 40 inches or taller can ride with an adult.
2. Ski Lift Shootout Coaster
The Ski Lift Shootout Coaster is the first of its kind in North America, making it one of the most unique Pigeon Forge coasters! This is a 2 seater alpine flyer ride, which means you are harnessed in with your feet dangling beneath you. Get ready to experience an exhilarating weightless feeling as you swing, dip, and soar high in the air around the suspended track! You’re also equipped with a laser gun, and your goal is to shoot as many targets as you can before the ride ends. The Ski Lift Shootout Coaster is a big hit with kids, teens, and adults of all ages! Riders must be at least 40 inches tall to ride with an adult or 47 inches to ride alone.
3. The Wild Stallion Mountain Coaster
Another one of the best Pigeon Forge coasters sits just outside of town in neighboring Sevierville. The Wild Stallion Mountain Coaster is the longest mountain coaster in the Southeast and provides riders with an 8+ minute ride that you’ll never forget! During the ride, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the town below and the surrounding Smoky Mountains. You control your own speed, so you can choose between a heart-pumping race down the mountain or a calm ride as you enjoy the fresh air and views. This is also an excellent coaster to ride at night to see the sparkling city lights below! You can ride alone or with another passenger as long as your combined weight doesn’t exceed the limit. Anyone under 54 inches tall must ride with an adult.
As you can see, the best Pigeon Forge coasters can be found at Rowdy Bear’s Smoky Mountain Snowpark and our sister attraction SkyLand Ranch. In addition to coasters, our attractions also feature a number of other rides and entertainment for all ages! You’ll definitely want to experience it all during your visit!
