2. Rowdy Bear Coaster

Rowdy Bear Mountain Coaster in Gatlinburg

The Rowdy Bear Coaster is one of Gatlinburg’s favorite thrill rides among guests. Open year-round and lit up with stunning lights at night, this is an experience like no other. The alpine coaster travels at up to 35 miles per hour through the forest of Rowdy Bear Mountain. If the coaster ride isn’t enough excitement for you, take a ride on the Rowdy Bear Mountain Glider. With no other ride like it in the world, you’ll get a sense of free falling and hang gliding as you fly through the treetops. To have the best experience at Rowdy Bear, check the availability calendar on their website and ask about their unlimited wristbands. After all, one ride around the mountain is rarely enough!

3. Sweet Fanny Adams Theatre

Since 1977 the Sweet Fanny Adams Theatre is one of the most historical attractions in Gatlinburg. For decades, the theater has been bringing guests to tears with their musical comedies and impromptu performances. While staying with us on your next Smokies vacation, stop in for the late evening showtime. You may even get your 15 minutes of fame on the stage! An experience that is sure to leave you laughing all the way back to your room at our hotel.
