    I really enjoy your channel. I am blind and also autistic and really love the sound of the coasters. My dad and I go to Gatlinburg and pigeon Forge a lot to ride him but we haven’t rolled some of these so we’re going to try to find them and write them and then I’m gonna post them on our TH-cam channel when we do. I really want you to know I love your channel this is awesome thank you for making a person like me have a happy day. This is the best I’ve seen yet. Mom and dad and I watched it together and they explained how the coasters worked which made me smile from ear to ear.😮

    We live really close to Pigeon Forge, TN, so my 23 year old daughter and 70 year old father are going for an adventure together for a day trip. I am so glad I ran into this video you have made. When planning things to do in this town it is easy to get overwhelmed. This makes it much easier to plan appropriately per ages. Thank you for solving my worrying. You worked hard and did a great job. Thanks again.

    The Ripley's coaster used to be Hungry Bear. We loved it because you got as many rides on the coster as you could in an hour for one price. We went during a dead time and made MANY trips down. :-)

    So far, I've been on the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster and the Goat Coaster with the latter one being my favorite of the two. My goal is to ride at least one new mountain coaster every time I am in the area until I've done all of them.
    By the way, you missed out on at least three others; the Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster, the Tennessee Flyer at Ober Gatlinburg, and the Rail Runner at Anakeesta. A new one also opened in Pigeon Forge not too long ago called the Lost Mine.

    • @SmoakinThrills
      @SmoakinThrills  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Two rides per person? Do they have measures put in place to stop tightwads coming with two kids and dividing the ride between two kids? And no way of being able to bring four kids and putting two kids into one cart? One person per cart, two rides per person? And no way can an adult ride with a kid - single riders only!
      In your imagination, take some of the best bits of each coaster and create a massive marathon one in a VR environment - with the option of daylight or night time with an even more fantastic light show than that - it’s VR, so you can do anything! It’s also in the setting of your own home, so no need to drive for miles, no queues, no need to spend loads of cash or anything - also no height restrictions!

    I got scared watching these for the first time on other channels, but yours made me relaxed, because you're talking as you're going down. Somehow relieves the stress, maybe I could actually get on these one day, I think I could handle it! I'm curious how they get the cars back up the mountain. I also noticed ski lifts going up, is that how you get to the top of these rollercoaster sites?

      Bears and mountain lions don’t go out of their way to mess with us. Most interactions with them are over food or because WE wandered into THEIR house.
