If you are wanting to try something new on your next vacation to Pigeon Forge, you will have plenty of choices! There are a ton of new activities and restaurants coming within the next few months that you won’t want to miss! We have a list of 4 new attractions in Pigeon Forge that are coming soon!

1. Wildwood Grove Expansion

Dollywood is expanding again! You’ll be transported to a hidden land where bears, frogs, and fairies live in Wildwood Grove. Everyone in the family will have something they can enjoy, from new rides to a kiddie play area. A few of the new rides include the Dragonflier, a ride that makes you feel like you’re flying on the back of a dragonfly and Treetop Tower that takes riders up to the tops of trees and slowly floats down like leaves. A Wildwood Tree sits at the center of the new area covered in butterflies that light up, creating a perfect place to take pictures. In Wildwood Creek, the kids and adults can wade in water to cool off in the summer heat. This new attraction will be accessible through Timber Canyon and is expected to open May 10, 2019.

2. Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show

If you love dinner and show attractions, you’ll definitely want to go to Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show when it opens. Pirate enemies fight each other in the air and in the water, where two life-size boats float in a 15-foot-deep, indoor lagoon. You’ll get to experience acrobatic competitions, tropical birds, and even see mermaids! During all the entertainment, you’ll be served a four-course feast that includes a creamy soup that even the pickiest eater will love. This new attraction in Pigeon Forge will be adjacent to The Island. It is opening June 6, 2019.

3. Mountain Monster

For the adventurer in your family, you need to visit the Mountain Monster, which will be located off Teaster Lane! It will feature three thrill-filled rides overlooking the Smoky Mountains on a 200-foot tower. This attraction will be located at the center of the Mountain Mile & Tower Shops where retail shops and restaurants will be located for guests who are waiting to experience the rides. The Mountain Monster is slated to open in 2019.

Looking for high-flying fun in the new attractions in Pigeon Forge? You won’t have to look any further than the Flying Theater Experience that is coming soon to The Island! This attraction is supposed to open in early 2020. Guests will come into the theater and take their seats. Once the ride starts, they will realize the floor is gone and then are suspended in the air. It will feel like you’re flying through the air with the unique “pitch and heave” engineering design. During the ride, you’ll soar over famous landmarks throughout the United States. This is an experience you won’t want to miss!
