The awesome thing about Pigeon Forge is that there is always something new to experience in town! Therefore, it is no wonder why so many guests return year after year to the Smokies to see the latest additions! One of the newest attractions in the area is the Power Coaster at Rowdy Bear Ridge, a unique spin on the mountain coaster experience where you can ride side-by-side with a riding partner! Here are the top 3 things that you need to know about the Power Coaster at Rowdy Bear Ridge:
1. What to Expect
The Power Coaster at Rowdy Bear Ridge is an innovative amusement ride that is the first of its kind, so you won’t want to miss this unique experience! This attraction combines some of the fun features of a driving ride combined with the classic mountain coaster experience, of which you can find several examples throughout the Smoky Mountains! The ride vehicle consists of single car trains where 2 riders can sit right next to each other and share the adventure! Once you are buckled up and reach the top of the mountain, you control the speed of your ride back down with a throttle that controls how fast you go!
2. Times, Dates and Location
Rowdy Bear Ridge is located at 2155 Parkway in Pigeon Forge, which is just beside the Local Goat Restaurant and diagonal from the Titanic Museum. The park is open daily from 10 AM to 9 PM, making it easy to schedule a few rides between all of your other sightseeing activities throughout the Smokies! Keep in mind that there is also a sister park in Gatlinburg called Rowdy Bear Mountain that is open from 10 AM to 10 PM and features the Rowdy Bear Mountain Coaster! Try this mountain coaster and the new Power Coaster to see which is your favorite!
3. Ticket Information
There are a variety of convenient ticket options at Rowdy Bear Ridge, as the park is also home to the Laser Gun Coaster, Outdoor Axe Throwing and a Tubing Hill that is open all year round! While you can always purchase a ticket for any single ride, consider the Value Combo Wristband where you can choose any 2 attractions for just ten more dollars than the single ride price. The best value is the Value Combo Wristband that includes all 4 attractions, and the best part is that you can Mix and Match! Therefore, if you just want to ride the new Power Coaster four times in a row, go for it!
