The Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster is on the way from Pigeon Forge to Wears Valley – to the west of Pigeon Forge.

In full disclosure – as of 2026, this is the only alpine mountain coaster we’ve experienced – other than the one that is at Ober Gatlinburg.

Why? Well – Groupon! The Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster almost always has a Groupon available for two rides on this coaster for roughly $20. The typical cost for most alpine coasters in the area is $20 per ride – and they may discount the second ride. So – two rides for the price of one by using their deal.

The Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster has a large parking lot with plenty of room. Something to keep in mind though – this is a popular coaster and can take 45 minutes to wait in line for your turn. That is from our experience when we typically visit in early March during Spring Break.

This is a great mountain coaster with several loops. Riders control the speed as they descend the mountain – although you shouldn’t fully stop. The track does have safety built in place that will ensure all carts stay a certain distance from each other. Otherwise, the cart will stop on it’s own.
