Ride a coaster that really puts the “top” in Rocky Top
Riding a mountain coaster is all about being among the mountains and combining the thrill of the experience with the beauty around you. Rocky Top Mountain Coaster in Pigeon Forge delivers on these fronts, as it gives you ample time to appreciate the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains and delivers plenty of excitement for the entire family.
Savor the beautiful Smoky Mountains scenery on the way up …
One of the main reasons why Rocky Top Mountain Coaster is different from some other coasters in the area is that it features four different uplifts spaced throughout the coaster course. As you slowly ride up these parts of the track you can take your time to look around at the mountain vistas nearby and really develop an appreciation for the natural beauty of this area. The entire ride lasts more than nine minutes, so you know that you’re not just paying for a quick trip that will be over before you know it.
And experience some thrills as you come down
Of course, every time you go up you must come down, and that’s where Rocky Top Mountain Coaster brings the thrills. The track features some downhill drops where you can really gather some speed, and they are interspersed among other exciting elements such as tunnels and hairpin turns. As you zoom through some of the beautiful 20 acres of the course, you’ll feel like you’re in the midst of a real mountain adventure.
Include the Rocky Top Coaster in your fun-filled family adventure in the Smokies
Rocky Top Mountain Coaster may be action-packed, but it’s also appropriate for a family outing. Everyone age three and older who is 38 inches tall is allowed to ride, and those under 56 inches tall must ride with another person who controls the sled. The sled features variable speed control, so you can customize your ride depending on how fast you and your family would like to go. Whether you’re a young one going on your first coaster or just a kid at heart, you’ll find the experience at Rocky Top Coaster well worth the trip.
