Welcome to Rocky Top Mountain Coaster!

We're proud to be Tennessee's Longest Coaster and the #1 Best Mountain Coaster in Pigeon Forge, voted by guests from 2022 through 2025! In 2025, we were also honored as the Best Outdoor Attraction - and it's easy to see why!

Located right across from Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, our ride lasts over nine and a half minutes, making it the longest coaster ride in Tennessee! Rocky Top is the only mountain coaster to feature four uphills, four downhills, four tunnels, and exciting themed sections throughout the ride.

Enjoy breathtaking views and thrilling curves during the day, then return after dark for a completely different experience - our night rides are lit by over half a million dollars' worth of dazzling lights! And don't forget, same-day re-rides are just $9!

We keep the fun going all year with seasonal events like Coasts N' Goblins every October, a Winter Wonderland ride during the holidays, and the only mountain coaster with a PARTY in the queue line!

Our huge gift shop is stocked with t-shirts, hats, souvenirs, and more. Be sure to snap a photo in our newest photo op - an 8-foot Adirondack chair that fits the whole family!

We can't wait to welcome you and your family to Rocky Top Mountain Coaster. Come experience why we've been voted Best Mountain Coaster, and now Best Outdoor Attraction in 2024!

One of the best rides in town. This coaster gives you ups and downs not just straight up then down. Riding in the night vs the day is totally different. Both were great. 2nd time visiting and will return. Rates are also good with coupons and military/public service and other discounts.

Super fun! I wasn't sure what to expect, so I took it easy but I won't next time. Could def. use some more spacing between cars, as I kept coming up upon the one in front of me due to the driver being really cautious. There's nothing wrong with that, but if you wish to go faster, you simply can't. Like sitting in traffic.

We had a great time on this mountain coaster! We went at night and loved the Christmas lights while riding. We were able to go up 18 mph and as slow as 7mph. My 10 year old who is scared of rollercoasters had a blast and wanted to ride again. Loved the music choices while waiting in line. All the customers were singing and dancing while waiting. I would definitely do this again on our next trip back!
