The Island is one of Pigeon Forge’s newest attractions. You can shop, eat, try some moonshine or ride the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel when you visit this hotspot.

If you end up parking on the event center’s end, no worries! The Island has a shuttle service that will pick you up at stations and take you straight to the Island. A few restaurants at the Island include: Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen, Dick’s Last Resort and Mellow Mushroom.

The Track also has a mini golf course, bumper boats and bumper cars for the family to enjoy. For those thrill seekers out there, there’s also the SkyFlyer. Height, ages and ticket prices vary depending on the wristband you purchase before you enter the park. You also have the option of buying your rides ahead of time.

Dollywood also boasts the world’s first hybrid coaster, the Lightning Rod. This coaster mixes technology with good ol’ fashioned physics.
