6 Fun Facts about the Most Popular Pigeon Forge Mountain Coaster

Posted: Dec 14 , 2017

Calling all thrill-seekers and Smoky Mountain lovers! How does it sound to race down the mountain, adrenaline pumping through your veins surrounded by gorgeous scenery? You won’t want to miss a chance to ride the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster. The coaster is one of the top attractions in Pigeon Forge where you’ll create memories that will last a lifetime. Here are six fun facts about the Pigeon Forge mountain coaster.

1. It only took 7 months to build!

The Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster took about seven months for complete construction. The location was decided upon based on the perfect combination of accessibility, views and room. To create the picture-perfect site, trees had to be cleared, the mountain was reshaped and stone was resurfaced. The ride opened in August of 2013 and quickly became one of the most popular attractions in the Smoky Mountain region.

2. It’s the longest downhill ride!

Are you ready to “ride the hill and feel the thrill”? The mountain coaster has more than one mile of track, making it the longest downhill ride in the United States. Experience the beautiful views of the Smoky Mountains like you never have before and get your adrenaline pumping during this 7- to 8-minute ride.

3. You can ride – rain, snow or shine!

No matter the weather, the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster is always open for business. Don’t let the poor weather ruin your plans to have a good time. The ride has an excellent braking effect that allows for it operate whether it’s 80 degrees and sunny or 50 degrees and rainy. It’s also open 365 days a year!

4. Fills your need for speed.

Feel the wind in your hair as you race down the mountain at top speed, or slow down just a little to enjoy the beautiful scenery around you. Unlike most attractions, the Pigeon Forge mountain coaster allows you to control your own speed. The sleds can go a maximum speed of 27 miles per hour. Be careful not to go too slow, though! To keep the ride running smoothly, be aware of your surroundings to ensure you don’t run into the rider in front of you or block riders behind you.

5. It’s the perfect nighttime attraction!

So, you’ve ridden the mountain coaster during the day, but what about after the sun sets? The mountain coaster is open until 10 p.m., giving you the opportunity to experience incredible night rides. The track has thousands of colored LED lights to make for an unforgettable ride.

6. Bring a friend or ride solo!

Two people can fit comfortably in a sled, so bring a friend or family member and cherish the experience together. Or, you can choose to fly solo on the ride. The sled is easy enough for one person to operate, just push forward to go, and let go to stop.
