Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster

Get ready to race at the Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster, the first and only true side-by-side racing mountain coaster in the United States. Located in Pigeon Forge, this one of a kind attraction turns the traditional mountain coaster experience into a head to head competition where family and friends can race for the finish line and ultimate bragging rights.

Unlike a traditional single-track mountain coaster, the Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster features two parallel tracks with synchronized launches. Riders race side by side through twists, turns, and drops while timed results determine who comes out on top. A live leaderboard keeps the competition going, and finish-line photos capture the winning or losing moment.

The coaster reaches thrilling speeds of up to 30 mph, but each rider remains in control of their own experience. Manual speed controls allow riders to adjust their speed during the downhill portion of the course, making it possible to take a more comfortable ride or release the brakes and go for a faster race.

The course is packed with standout elements, including three complete 360-degree spirals, an 80-foot double helix, a crossover bridge, and multiple drops. Along the way, riders can catch views of Pigeon Forge and the surrounding Smoky Mountain scenery while competing on the two intertwining tracks.

After dark, the racing experience takes on a completely different look. A custom LED lighting system transforms the track into a glowing, color-changing raceway, combining the excitement of a mountain coaster with an immersive nighttime experience.

The Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster is designed for a wide range of riders. Passengers must be at least 3 years old and 38 inches tall, while drivers carrying a passenger must be at least 16 years old. Two people can ride together in one cart as long as the rider requirements and combined weight limits are met.

The coaster can even operate in the rain, with carts that can be equipped with rain shields for wet-weather rides. Whether you’re visiting with family, challenging your friends, or chasing a faster time on the leaderboard, every ride offers another opportunity for a rematch.

Located at 115 Conner Heights Road in Pigeon Forge, the Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster brings speed, competition, and Smoky Mountain scenery together in an experience unlike any other mountain coaster in the country. Pick your lane, challenge your competition, and see who earns the bragging rights at the finish line.
