Rocky Top Mountain Coaster<\/strong>
\nMountain coasters in general are a must in the Smokies, but you\u2019ll have claimed 4 times the fun aboard the Rocky Top Mountain Coaster<\/a> in Pigeon Forge, featuring 4 tunnels, 4 uplifts, and 4 drops! Zoom around 20+ acres at up to 30 miles per hour, taking on 360 and hairpin turns along the way. Open rain or shine, the ride lasts over 9 minutes, and you can even go at night when the track lights up the forest course \u2014 it\u2019s a whole new experience!<\/p>\n

Pirate\u2019s Voyage Pigeon Forge<\/strong>
\nSwashbuckling pirate crews battle it out on the seven seas\u2026well, in a 15-foot deep indoor lagoon arena that is \u2014 still super awesome (and pretty impressive)! Cheer on the Crimson or Sapphire pirates as they attempt to defeat one another on deck, in the sky, and in the water for Davey Jones\u2019 sunken treasure. You (and ye hearties) will be amazed at the special effects, acrobatics, mermaids, live tropical birds, and even the 4-course feast at Pirate\u2019s Voyage Pigeon Forge, a dinner show attraction!<\/p>\n

Pink Adventure Tours<\/strong>
\nWith 60 years in the biz, Pink Adventure Tours<\/a> has finally expanded to the Great Smoky Mountains in Pigeon Forge! Boasting customized off-roading capabilities, the \u2014 pink \u2014 Jeep Wranglers are a top choice for exploring the area\u2019s rough (and beautiful) natural terrain. Cruise through the tall trees, across streams, down rocks, and into unforgettable memories with loved ones in the Smokies. Here\u2019s hoping you\u2019ll catch a glimpse of a white-tailed deer, adorable racoon, or even a black bear!<\/p>\n

SkyBridge<\/strong>
\nDid you say the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America?! If you\u2019re looking to go for a leisurely stroll 680 feet across a gorgeous valley reaching 140 feet high at the midpoint, then the SkyBridge in Gatlinburg<\/a> is the newbie for you. Part of the bridge even has glass floor panels so you can get a whole new perspective of the Smokies. Take the SkyLift up to the SkyDeck and complete your daredevil journey to the other side\u2026<\/p>\n
