    If you are looking for a great racing experience that goes around the sides of a mountain, then look no further. Stop by Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster when you get the chance. They are located in the beautiful Pigeon Forge area. It is owned by BJ McLeod and his family (yes, the race car driver). The people and staff are very nice. I was happy when I visited yesterday for their grand opening. Yes, it was busy, but the line moved fast, so I got to ride and experience the coaster attraction. Would I do it again? Yes, I would. It is fun, exciting, and the coasters are fast. Adult tickets (13 and older) cost $25.00. Youth tickets (8-12) cost $18.00. Kids (3-7) are free. All prices include taxes. When ready to line up, you will be in either the left or right lane to race against a family member, friend, or another paying customer. Staff will instruct you on what to do before you go on the track and race against the other person on the other side of the track. Keep in mind, these coasters are fast with a lot of speed. If you are pregnant, you will not be allowed to ride due to health reasons for yourself and your baby. You can steer the coaster with a stick that allows you to accelerate and decelerate. The coasters can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour on the track. The minimum height requirement for passengers is 38 inches tall and 3 years old, accompanied by someone at least 16 years of age. The driver must be at least 56 inches tall. To ride as a passenger, individuals must be at least 3 years old and 38 inches tall. The driver must be at least 16 years old to ride with a passenger or 56 inches tall to ride alone. There is no age requirement to ride alone, provided the height requirement is met. Two people may ride together if the driver is at least 16 years of age. The passenger must be at least three years old and 38 inches tall. The maximum weight limit is 375 pounds in dry conditions and 330 pounds in wet conditions. Rain shields are available for use in wet weather.

    I brought my family in to spend some mid-day fun time. The AC was welcome in the heat, and we spent…read morea lot of time in the arcade playing mini bowling and a ton of other games. The best one was the holowave VR zombie game. Its a nice setup and a blast with multiple people able to crosstalk and see each other. My son and I also did a bunch of cart racing. Once we figured out which carts were fast, it was pretty good. Packed tracks, lots of opportunity for aggressive driving. The staff were friendly and it was clean enough and the carts and games worked. Good times.

    Brought the kids here on vacation. Place is very expensive with all kinds of hidden costs. Which I…read moreexpected. The fast go carts are shity they bounce all over the place and none of them are the same speed by any means. The food was okay but very expensive. I wasn't going to leave a review because I had nothing good to say then I had a staff member who has trouble with English tell me I have to put my shirt on as I quickly ran inside to put my shirt on which I did then I came back outside and took my shirt back off outside. He came back outside and made me put my shirt back on. Outdoors rt here in America- can't be seen without a shirt off. The whole staff here is foreigners. I spent at least 450 bucks here with my two kids in just a few hours. I'm sitting here on a bench filling out this review and I'm seeing customers kids being rejected from rides that are clearly for little kids while overhearing them complain that nobody informed them their kids were too small to ride these rides when they were sold wristbands for rides.. Little kids crying because they can't ride rather than having a great time . Seriously fuck this place- SUPER unAmerican

    I kind of feel bad. The last time I was in Pigeon Forge with my children, I declined going on a…read moremountain coaster with them, because they just didn't look like my thing. 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.

    This was a very fun adventure even for a scary person like me. I purchased the groupon which was a…read moregreat deal for 2 for $23. I reviewed the pricing upon arrival and it was $14 for kids. 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!

    I cannot say enough great things about this place, we had such an amazing time and the guy that was…read morethere almost every day that we were there, his name is Steven. He truly made this place so special, and every time we came back, personally came up and shook our hands and thanked us for coming back. The last day, my wife even came out and rode with us, and he went up to her and shook her hand and welcomed her back, even though it was her first time racing with us, when she usually sat in the car to watch the baby. Steven, is truly a special individual, who you can tell truly loves his job. I would come back over and over again, as long as he was here, because he truly made the experience at this racetrack so awesome. On the second day, we brought our son, Austin, who is autistic and Steven was so nice and gentle with him, and helped us make him comfortable enough to where he was able to actually ride the go karts with me. Not only didn't bring me as a father to tears, it brought my wife to tears as well because it was the first time my son actually did something outside of his comfort zone, and Steven made it truly enjoyable for all of us. He did not look at us differently, because we had a special-needs kid, but instead gave us so much care and graciousness and made us felt like we were friends of his. I cannot wait to come back here the next time, and hopefully Steven will be here because he truly made this trip want to remember

    I like this race track. I just wish it wasn't so far from where I live. They have 3 entrances which…read moreis grandstands, tier parking and pits. Signs guide you to where you want to go. The first entrance is the grandstands. The second entrance is tier parking. The third entrance is the pits entrance. I review race tracks on 4 different categories: parking, concession stand, bathroom facilities and view of track. I chose tier parking which you can use your pickup truck to watch the race. I like this in the fact that you can back up your truck and pull the tail gate down, sit and watch the race. I brought my lawn chair and placed it in the back of the truck to watch the race in comfort. One important note is that if you want to park in this section, get here early because it fills up early. I saw some trucks pay and couldn't find a parking place. They have concessions stands in the grandstands, tier parking and the pits. So, it does not matter where you want to go, you can get food and drinks nearby. They have nachos and cheese, hamburgers, cokes, hot dogs, candy, cheeseburgers, hot chocolate, sweet tea, coffee, pop corn and etc. There's usually no lines at the concession stand or not much of one. They have bathroom facilities with running water, paper towels and soap to wash your hands. They have garbage cans throughout the track grounds for your garbage. I saw no lines in the bathrooms. My view of the track was great as I was able to see the race cars all around the track. There was nothing blocking my view of seeing the race cars drive around the oval dirt track. Parking and leaving: There was no problem parking as it is self parking from what I saw. There was no traffic problems leaving either It seems they have big races here and they don't race every weekend. Like them on Facebook to view their schedule. The first time I came here they had the All Star Series here in which the number 157 Mike Marlar won the race. The second time I came here they had the World of Outlaws racing series here in which Scott Bloomquist won the race. They will also have the Lucas Oil Series here in a few weeks visiting. The third time I came this year Donald McIntosh won the Ultimate Super Late Model series race. I went to the pits and talked to Ray Cook's pit crew member who said they had a brand new race car that has never hit the track and they been working on it several weeks. Sadly, it was totaled in this race on 6/18/2016. What I don't like about this race track is that they don't water the track down enough. Therefore, it is extremely dusty that I can't stand it. I can't enjoy the race with all the dust getting in my eyes, all over my truck, all over my clothes and in my chair. Oh, yes, breathing in the dust makes it almost not enjoyable at all. They just need to use more water in wetting the track down and I bet a lot more race fans will show up. It's a shame that they have all these big races here but you can't enjoy the races with all the dust.

    Smoky Mountain Speedway is not a good neighbor. They don't try to make sound barriers and they have…read morelate races in the middle of a residential area even during the middle of the week. It's unbelievable. I live three miles away. I feel bad for those who live closer. I don't recommend a business who doesn't care for their neighbors.
