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.
