This Theme Park Was Just Named No. 1 in the U.S. by Tripadvisor

"Recognized by Tripadvisor as the top theme park in the United States and ranked No. 11 worldwide, this Smoky Mountain destination in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee blends family-friendly charm with thrill-ride offerings and live entertainment. Visitors praise its numerous roller coasters—including several scaled for smaller children that still excite adults—stunning grounds and generally affordable prices. The park traces its roots to a 1961 attraction on the site and was expanded in 1986 through a partnership with Dolly Parton and the Herschend family. For guests, it also offers promotions such as two-for-one adult tickets and a Weather Guarantee that provides complimentary return admission when rain forces closures or restricts attractions." - Michael Cappetta Michael Cappetta Michael Cappetta is a travel writer with over 10 years of experience in journalism and television news.
