    So much fun!!!
    Cindi P.

    So much fun! Lots in the area but this is by far the best !!long and fast! Worth the money

    Fun, safe for all of the family and its well organized! It was my first time riding something like this. We seen it advertised everywhere. I came with my boyfriends family, his siblings and their kids. When we parked there was a bit of a line. However, the line moved fairly quick. You buy your ticket, stand in line... and the ushers secure you onto one of the coasters. It's great for all ages! If your kid is small, you can ride with your kid. The views were nice and some parts went really fast! I'd definitely go again! The total ride down the mountain is pretty lengthy. I should've wrote my review earlier because the guy told me how long it takes to ride down the mountain.... approximately 10 minutes? Correct me if I'm wrong. But it's a nice ride down. Don't forget to smile when the signs say to smile because they take photos of you along the ride. At the end of the ride, you enter the gift shop where you can see all your photos. The photos were the normal expensive tourist price, but it's worth capturing the moment :) Definitely a "must-do" when visiting Pigeon Forge!

    A great dad joke for father's day.

    I wish I could give this place 10 stars. The first night we went it rained and we got this cool see through cover and then there was lightning so the 4 remaining riders in our party couldn't go. The manager gave us all more tickets to come back another day and when we returned two days later, they gave us each and extra ride and because it was father's day the two dad's in our party got free photos. Not to mention my husband and I agree it's the best mountain coaster we've ever been on. Even the line was fun because they played tunes and everyone was singing.

    Always wanted to try a mountain coaster ever since I saw one. Finally got to on my recent vacation in the area. My brother suggested this place out of all the ones we looked up and it was amazing. Your recorded the whole time and can buy the video or just a pic at the end.

    First-Time Riders - Great Experience! This was our first time on a mountain roller coaster and it did not disappoint! The ride is smooth, fun, and you get to control your own speed, which makes it great for both thrill-seekers and those who want to take it slow. There are several automatic uphill pull sections, and the rest is all you - twisting, turning, and flying through the woods with some cute little set-ups along the way. Not a lot of "mountains views" noted. You do need to pay attention to the slow signs throughout the track Tips: * If you're a first responder, nurse, or teacher, don't miss the discount - rides are only $9 for you (I unfortunately missed mine ). That's also the cost if you want to re-ride the same day! Overall, a must-do experience if you're in the area!

    Well it was a 4th of July birthday weekend and a co worker recommended trying this alpine roller coaster. There are many of them in Pigeon Forge Tennessee but he told me this one was the best because it's longer for 20 minutes. They are not your usual amusement park roller coasters because once you reach the top with cables you control the speed. It was worth the $18. Do try it as well as Dollywood

    My favorite views were the uphills!

    When I told people we were going on vacation to Pigeon Forge SO many people suggested that we do a mountain coaster, and boy am I glad that we picked this one!! It is advertised as the longest mountain coaster in TN and that is one of the reasons we picked it. It is also located right down the street from Dollywood, which is super convenient. The views were amazing and the track was so much fun. It included 4 uphills and 4 downhills and you really pick up some great speed on the downhills! They have audio playing at the top of the hills that tells you when to push your handles down to begin to pick up speed. We had such a fun time on our ride that we paid $9 each to go on the coaster a second time. Each sled has a maximum weight of 350 pounds, but we elected to each have our own sled and I really am glad we did. This was one of our favorite things that we did on our vacation!! It will be a must do when we come back to Pigeon Forge.

    Cool place for family photos

    We went here and my kids and husband LOOOVED it ! I'm afraid of heights so it was a no for me but I wanted to go soooo bad after my family did. All they talked about was how fun it was. We went during December so it was pretty cold but they managed. Rode this a couple of times and was better experience than Dollywood.

    This was pretty decent. I would give it 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4. We came here wanting to ride an Alpine coaster after being sorely disappointed at Oberlin Gatlinburg. We had wasted so much time at Oberlin that it got pretty late at that point, so we were grateful for the late closing time. I think the move is coming at night, it's fun the way it's lit up. It was Labor Day Weekend though and it was CROWDED with a super, super long line. Thank goodness for the ceiling fans in the waiting area, but they could use some more. Also thank goodness for the very fun and lively playlist going on, keeping everyone's morale up. Also shoutout to the safety videos playing, there was a lot of legitimately useful and helpful information conveyed there. When it was finally our turn, we got in our carts of either one or two riders. I ended up using the brakes in my cart quite a bit. The safety video said you could pretty much go as fast as you want (so long as you don't bump into the person in front of you), but I very much did not feel safe and like the cart was going to stay on the rails at full speed. I left a little shaken up after the ride. Overall, good experience. Would likely come back, hopefully with a shorter line.

    Fun Coaster For Kids! This is one of the coasters that let our 36" tall kids ride. It's a great time for the little ones. We rode 3-4 times because my 3 year old son was a little scared the first ride but then was so happy and wanted to do it again and again! For adults it's a cool ride too, obviously not six flags level or an insane ride of terror, but a cool ride. Friendly staff and fun ride.

    I came here to see my friend's memorial bench- and definitely brought the tears. I didn't realize they would have the pics on the board on the side and then the beach was beautiful. She always loved rocky top coaster mountain, riding it made me feel close to her. It was really fun, long, and well worth the price. I am so grateful to have something to visit and i will definitely visit every time i come! Sending love from Ohio

    We rode this coaster twice in one day. You get a half price discount for multiple rides. We experienced it during the day and at night.

    I don't like rollercoasters, but I loved this one because the ability to brake and check speed was awesome!

    Dollywood is a beautiful, clean park with great rides, friendly staff, and plenty of delicious,…read morereasonably priced food. While many compare it to Disney World, I don't think the overall experience is on the same level, even though Dollywood may actually have more rides. The biggest area needing improvement is parking. It took us nearly an hour to get into the park because traffic was backed up and all cars were directed into the Splash Country parking . We had to exit, re-enter, and ask an employee to open the cones so we could get into the correct entrance. Having separate, open (not closed with cones) clearly marked lanes for Dollywood and Splash Country would make the process much smoother. Simple fix . I also recommend upgrading to Preferred Parking. The standard parking tram lines were very long, while Preferred Parking lets you park much closer and walk straight to the entrance. Another improvement would be adding digital wait time signs at each ride. None of the rides indicated that so you could be in line anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours ! Having to open the app each ride and scroll through a massive list to see wait times in the heat isn't very convenient. Wait times on the app are also not available remotely as with Disney so you could properly decide the right time to go , can only can be seen when you are in the park. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and may return.

    My family and I recently visited Dollywood Theme Park, and we had a wonderful experience. The park…read moreis absolutely beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. Be prepared to do a lot of walking, as the park is divided into several themed sections, each with about four or five rides. Parking costs $25, so it's something to include in your budget before you arrive. One thing to know before you go is that if you want unlimited fountain drink refills, you'll need to purchase a refillable cup. The cup costs around $30, and you must scan it each time you refill your drink. One of the highlights of our visit was exploring Dolly Parton's museums. They were beautiful, informative, and gave us a deeper appreciation for Dolly's life, career, and accomplishments. I left the park a new fan! We spent about six hours at Dollywood and still didn't have enough time to see everything. There's so much to explore that you could easily spend an entire day or even two there. We didn't have a full meal while we were at the park, but we enjoyed several snacks, including churro fries, a pretzel, and nachos, which were all tasty. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend Dollywood to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly destination. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes, budget for parking and drink refills if you plan to purchase them, and allow plenty of time to experience everything the park has to offer! There are a lot of roller coasters if you like roller coasters.

So my kids went on the coaster and I watched and took photos. Then recently, I was forced to visit Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster for a work trip. It was either ride the dang coaster, or irritate the people who set up the trip, so I went. Holy cats! Alpine coasters are super fun! You kind of feel like you're going to fly off the tracks during the ride, but you won't. It seems safe enough, and the ride goes by so fast (it's definitely less than 10 minutes). Before you know it, you're done and wish you could go again. (I didn't, but I'm sure kids would.) You can control the speed, which is nice. At one point, I was feeling wild and crazy, and let it fly and zipped around the track at full speed. I visited with a small group on a weekday, and there was zero wait to start riding. Literally, we just paid and got right on.

Every penny count nowadays so I'll take it. If the child is under a certain height they require them to ride with an adult. *Insert my nerves kicking in about this* I will say it looks more intimidating that it actual is. No big drops and you can adjust the speed as you ride. I built my courage to go faster the second ride but the employee did ask for me to not hold up traffic like previous did! Good adventure!
