3 Thrilling Mountain Coasters in Pigeon Forge That You Need to Experience

January 27, 2022

If you love thrill rides, just wait until you get a load of a Smoky Mountain coaster! Unlike traditional roller coasters, these attractions put you in the driver’s seat as you control the speed of your own ride down the mountain! Each of the vehicles are securely attached to a metal rail, so just use the simple brake lever system to slow down or go full throttle! Here are 3 thrilling mountain coasters in Pigeon Forge that you need to experience during your vacation:

1. Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster

The Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster was the first mountain coaster to open in Pigeon Forge and it set the standard high with more than one mile of track! Your adventure starts with a leisurely climb to the top of the mountain, but once at the peak its full speed ahead on your race to the bottom! Ride during the daytime hours to enjoy the surrounding scenery, then come back at night to see the cool lights that shine along the metal track! The braking system works in nearly any weather conditions, so don’t let a little rain or snow keep you away!

2. Coaster at Goats on the Roof

The unusual name comes from the huge gift shop right next door, which really does feature live goats on the roof that guests can feed! This mountain coaster offers some of the best views in the Smokies, as well as a downhill run where you can approach speeds of 30 miles per hour! Enjoy a solo ride on the coaster cart or double the fun by riding together with a friend!

3. Rocky Top Mountain Coaster

The newest mountain coaster in Pigeon Forge is the Rocky Top Mountain Coaster, which holds the record for the longest coaster in East Tennessee! The ride is unique in that it features 4 uphill lift sections, which makes going up nearly as much fun as going back down! While cruising down the twists and turns of the Rocky Top Mountain Coaster, you will experience several tunnels on over 20 acres of property! The night rides are even more spectacular as magnificent lights guide you through the dark of your downhill journey!
