We originally…read moreplanned to ride the Alpine Coaster down the street, but the wait was over an hour, so we came here instead, and we're glad we did. The mountain coaster was a lot of fun, had a short wait, and was only about $15. My favorite part, though, was feeding the goats on the roof! You buy goat food inside the gift shop for about $3 a cup, ($1 refill) pour it into a bowl, then pedal a bike that carries the food up a conveyor to the rooftop. The goats are already waiting, and it's hilarious watching them compete for the food. It's a unique experience that's fun for both kids and adults. Definitely worth the stop!

We had fun doing this experience, and it's super cheap. The bike that carries the food to goats…read morewas a little awkward for adults (you can't adjust the seat) but I had laughs. Inside they have touristy souvenirs, and outside there was a couple in a booth by the exit selling "timeshares that aren't timeshares" that felt a a little sketchy to me. My bf got caught in a convo with the man and he was fitting tmi questions in. How often are you here? What's your income back home? What's your job? The goats were cute, esp the babies. It was a nice spot to get hands on with animals.

All the workers were polite and helpful. The actual mountain coaster was your typical mountain coaster for the area. Compared to other coasters I felt this was one of the shorter rides.

When you're riding together only one person has the brakes - not sure if they are really brakes. Also when the person tells you to go all in, you need to go as much as you can tolerate because that's the final stretch of rolling before it ends. Only downside is the ride is just 2-3 minutes.

You can definitely walk to the Island but it's a little bit of a trek. It's probably easier to take the tram, which seems to run pretty frequently. Parking is free. Once you finally arrive, there is tons of stuff to do! Shops, rides, restaurants, and bars are everywhere. It's all very walkable and it's got a good vibe. Overall, I'd definitely recommend that people check out the Island at least once if they're in the area.

Wow. Pricey, but great experience.

Super nice guy - professional and helpful (good tips) - friendly and welcoming. Sending us off with a God bless was a nice touch, although I could see that sounding funny to some folks, ha ha. (Dear God, please watch over us on this chair lift...) It was the kids' 1st time on a chair lift / ski lift, and it was a good one. Had to go open-air. No one freaked out. They even took selfies together on it. So sweet. Great views on the way down! Lift was rebuilt in... 2019 (?) after wildfires destroyed it, but they maintained a great old-school feel. Now! To the top. The SkyBridge. THE SKYBRIDGE. WOW. So so cool. Longest suspension bridge in North America, apparently. It was awesome, complete with grating and plexiglass at the middle. Amazing views. A little scary, sure, but so cool. Was stoked the kids wanted to walk across it multiple times. The trails up top are better than I expected. Not top tier Smokies trails, but better than expected. And more good views. Tulip Tower was cool, too. The overall SkyPark area was also beautifully landscaped. REALLY impressive - beautiful. Highly recommended.

Scenic views from Skypark abound and their is the Skyview Bridge which is a fun experience for children and adults alike. Built in 1954, the Gatlinburg Skylift is the oldest attraction in Gatlinburg. Originally a one seat attraction it was updated shortly after as a two seater, and now seats three people. Come to visit this wonderful attraction in the heart of Gatlinburg.

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!

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.
