We have ridden most of the mountain coasters in The Smoky Mountains. They are so much fun! On our last trip to the Smokies, we rode the Rocky Top Mountain Coaster in Pigeon Forge, TN. My kiddos said that it was their favorite mountain coaster. It lasts about 9 minutes and has 4 uplifts! And, they could control the speed so they could go as fast or slowly as they wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the photo above, you can see that there is plenty of seating outside. You can pick a bench at one of the picnic tables or a rocking chair and wait to see your family\/friend make their way down the mountain coaster. This is also a great spot to snap a photo or video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the newer coasters in the Smokies and it is very popular. You purchase your tickets and then get in line. There may be a wait but they play fun music which helps the time go by quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
