1. Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster
Pigeon Forge is known for its great mountain coasters. The Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster is an equally as exciting and unique addition to the bunch.

Each car holds two people, and you can control the speed by using the handbrake. Challenge your friends and family and see who can speed down the twists and turns the fastest! Don't forget to take a peek at the stunning mountain views.
2. MegaZip at WildSide
Another one of the great new attractions in Pigeon Forge is MegaZip, an incredible zipline located at the WildSide adventure park! After visitors are hooked up to the line, they will launch from a platform that is 2,472 feet off the ground and then descend over 1,000 feet. The whole cable is 5,771 feet long. This makes it the longest zipline in the United States! As for speed, you can go as fast as 55 miles per hour. However, the speed is controlled by a self-braking system, so you can go at your own pace. If you’re looking for more thrills and beautiful scenery, you don’t have to go far.
