Skydiving in Pigeon Forge
Are you a thrill seeker? Pigeon Forge Tennessee
has just the activity for you! Skydiving is gaining
in popularity and, depending on your level of
bravery, Pigeon Forge has a couple of options for
you to choose from to enjoy freefalling.
If you’re just testing the Skydiving waters, perhaps
you’ll enjoy
Flyaway
Indoor Skydiving. You’ll love the vertical
indoor wind tunnel that allows you to experience the
thrills of skydiving without having to go hundreds
of feet up in an airplane. It’s a perfect way for
visitors that have fears of heights to experience
skydiving without ever taking a foot off the ground.
Flyers have to attend a twenty minute training class
to learn how to control themselves and safety
procedures. A second class is taught about the
equipment preparation, which informs flyers on the
equipment type and the purpose of each piece of
equipment. Flyers will be given a suit, helmet, and
other safety features. After a short review period,
a group of flyers will be able to enter the tunnel
with an instructor, and each flyer will receive at
least three minutes to fly in the tunnel. A new
class starts every hour and half-hour. Early during
the day is said to be the best time to fly. For
information such as prices and hours, check out
their website.
Skydive East Tennessee is the company for you if
you’re interested in actual skydiving. Flyers will
reach 11,000 feet in the air, freefall for 45
seconds and then float back to earth for about 5-6
minutes. The views of the mountains and Douglas Lake
will be even more breathtaking from thousands of
miles in the air. Skydive East Tennessee has a lot
of helpful information on their website, such as
what to do the day of your jump, reservation
information, prices and so much more.
