Pigeon Forge's Newest and Biggest Thrills (2025)

The city of Pigeon Forge stepped up its game in 2025 as one of the nation's top destinations for adrenaline attractions, thanks to new attractions that deliver speed, height, and even family competition. With such excellence waiting for you, what more could you want? Our picks for the newest must-dos on your getaway are:

  • Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster: This dual-track mountain coaster offers timed runs, allowing family members to compete. Look forward to sharp turns and downhill stretches that get the heart pumping.
  • MegaZip at WildSide Park: WildSide Park is all about adventure, but one thing that stands out is the MegaZip. Soar at speeds of 55 mph on cables suspended 5,771 feet in the air for an unbeatable experience.

The crazy part about these new thrills? We're only scratching the surface for family adventures in the Smoky Mountains you can enjoy. If you want to push your limits, there is a whole world of extreme outdoor activities in Pigeon Forge to explore.

Dollywood's Must-Ride Thrill Coasters

When you think about thrill rides in Pigeon Forge, no list is complete without bringing Dollywood into the conversation. Dollywood is one of the top theme parks in the U.S. and owes no small part of its reputation to its many thrill rides.

While the less wild family members catch a show or enjoy the Dollywood train, you can enjoy Dollywood thrill rides, such as:

  • Big Bear Mountain: This launch coaster is exciting yet accessible, making it ideal for the younger riders in your group.
  • Mystery Mine: Do you enjoy the unknown? Go through darkened tunnels and steep drops on this heart-pumping ride.
  • Dragonflier: This suspended coaster offers smooth yet thrilling swoops, making it a favorite for kids and adults.
  • Thunderhead: Experience a classic wooden coaster that gives you sharp turns, airtime, and a relentless pace for pure excitement.

Don't forget to catch other Dollywood thrill rides like Wild Eagle during your visit, so you go home knowing you got the most thrills for your buck. No matter what, you won't lack ways to enjoy family-friendly outdoor activities in Pigeon Forge during your stay.

Balancing High Energy with Cabin Comfort

One rule that everyone should follow when seeking thrills on vacation is that you need just as much rest as you do fun. The best way to accomplish this is by staying in a Pigeon Forge cabin rental built for comfort.

Some excellent features you might want during your cabin stay include:

  • Hot tubs for soothing sore muscles.
  • Game rooms for indoor fun.
  • Theater rooms for a relaxing movie night.
  • Spacious decks to enjoy the mountain scenery.

A little bit of cabin shopping, and everyone in your group will enjoy high-level fun during the day and pure relaxation at night for a magical Pigeon Forge experience.

Best Cabin Types for Thrill-Seeking Families

If your family prefers fun and adventure over a quiet escape, it's important to book a cabin that matches the pace you desire. Some excellent options to consider include:

  • Cabins Near Dollywood: Reduce your travel time and maximize your Dollywood experience for nearly unlimited thrills.
