This year, Wilderness at the Smokies celebrates its 15th anniversary. And, in honor of the occasion, this popular Sevierville attraction plans a number of new additions, including a 40,000-square-foot expansion of its Wild WaterDome indoor waterpark.
Some additions will open as early as Spring 2023, while others are slated for fall completion. Meanwhile, Wilderness at the Smokies will continue to offer all of its current adventures, both indoors and out.
Have you ever soared above it all on a cloud coaster? If not, then now's your chance. This spring, Wilderness at the Smokies will unveil its new Rocky Top Glider at its indoor Forest Family Adventure Park.
Safely enclosed in your suspended single-seat vehicle, you'll roll along a lofty track high above the park's attractions. As you glide smoothly uphill and around tight corners – all with minimal G-force – you'll literally feel like you're flying.
Best of all, you'll get to control your own speed (up to a certain point) as you ascend up to 25 feet. It's an exhilarating airborne experience, yet it's 100% family-friendly and suitable for almost all ages.
