There's always something new to see and do in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains. And, for 2022, that's even truer than ever. From thrilling new rides to expanded attractions, you'll find plenty to enjoy and explore in the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge area.
What do you get when you combine a world-famous uphill water coaster – the MasterBlaster – with an even more legendary multi-sensation water slide – the Boomerango – and then double the slides for a dueling race to the finish?
You get The Edge, a heart-pounding new water coaster coming to Soaky Mountain Waterpark at 175 Gists Creek Road in Sevierville.
Designed by Whitewater, the company that developed both MasterBlaster and Boomerango, this exciting new ride will take you and your family on an unforgettable trip featuring luminous light shows, sudden steep drops, dramatic climbs, feelings of weightlessness, illusions of mega-speed, and the sensation that you're literally going "over the edge."
Along the way, as you hurtle through twisting tubes, you'll be surrounded by dazzling AquaLucent rings and stripes – a kaleidoscope of eye-popping lights and colors. And, as you race to the finish on dueling tracks, you'll ride over a zero-G hump, then encounter still more spectacular effects signaling the winner of the race.
Season passes are already on sale for this showstopping new 2022 coaster, so go online to order yours soon.

After the Christmas holidays, though, the focus is more on seasonal fun, as the nighttime landscape transforms into a magical winter wonderland. Take a leisurely drive along the Parkway and environs to savor countless sparkling lights and awesome, elaborate displays.
