I'll be going back to Pigeon Forge in September. I didn't have a chance to explore the Island much last time we went due to a lack of time. This video gives me a great outlook and an idea on things I'd love to do there. Thanks sooooo much for the awesome footage. Greatly appreciated!
Thanks Present, glad this helped! We hope you have a great time in September. We will have a lot more videos covering the best places to eat and things to do so don't forget to subscribe here 👉 bit.ly/3f6Peoa
This place is a must-do every time my husband and I are in the area. We love walking around, the Soarin’ ride, and grabbing drinks & a pizza at Mellow Mushroom. Also love the Crime Museum (and the free parking!)
I will be down there in September and I been watching videos for the last couple of weeks. This will be my first time to pigeon forge. So your video is helping me plan my trip.
Glad our videos are helping, we should have many more videos filled with great places to eat and things to do in Pigeon Forge. We hope you have a great time here!
Ryan, I always enjoy your videos. I took my 8 year old great grandson to the Island in June. We parked and rode the trolley over, however, we encountered many rude people at the trolley stop. We were literally knocked away by people who were just arriving and pushing many of us back. We finally got on the fourth trip around. Needs to be a system in place for first come, first served. We did SkyFly and he absolutely loved it. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for this video. Pigeon Forge is a great stop to make when roadtripping. I got a road trip coming up with my son. Leaving Detroit and headed to Atlanta Georgia area. It's about a 10 hr drive, however... we are going to take an alternative route, I'm going to stop in Louisville, Kentucky... spend a night there, wake up and drive to Nashville, hangout there a bit, grab a bite, then head to Chattanooga, visit the Aquarium there, before we reach our destination in Georgia. Coming back, I want to stop in Pigeon Forge, so my son and I can ride the new Soarin ride there, grab a bite to eat before we head straight back to Michigan. Can't wait.
Love the videos. My wife and I just returned to WV from Pigeon Forge on Thursday evening. I see that we’re both Firefighter Paramedics. We would love to relocate there. I’ve been looking into jobs there. It’s awesome to be able to see so many of the attractions. I’m ready to switch from being a Mountaineer to becoming a Volunteer. 😁
I was a full time Firefighter/Paramedic until PTSD ended my career. That prompted us leaving FL & moving to The Smokies which has been very helpful/healing! Appreciate your support, I hope it works out for you Eric!
@@AdventureIsOutThere I’m sorry to hear about your PTSD. I have issues too. I’m trained in WV as a Firefighter, Paramedic and Police Officer too. I’ve been a part of a lot of things over the last 30 years. We want to come to visit again soon. It might take a while for the move however. Housing seems to be a tough hurdle there. I hope things work out for us on relocating. We enjoy both your content and video production quality. I’m happy you’re doing well now, brother! ❤️🚑🚒😁
@@ceclay1 www.22zero.org helped a lot. I was trained by them & can help military/first responders 100% free. All done with a zoom call if you know anyone that could use help! Stay safe out there!
Thanks for showing us the Island. It was always so busy and there was no place to park because there were so many cars. We were so curious as to what was there. Now we know. We will have to make room for it the next time we visit.
Thanks Mark! Dollywood Drone/Fireworks show & summer festival food review & an 11 Mile bike ride through Cades Cove coming out the next few days! ~Ryan
From a fellow EMS brother from Gordonsville/Carthage, TN......Thank you for all of your videos! We live here and my kids LOVE going to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. Everytime we go, we find something new to do. We have visited The Island so many times and this video showed me things I never even knew were there!! DEFINATELY gonna check out the cookie place......you know us medics are about food!! LOL Keep putting out these videos, brother! (My son is now wearing me out about the RideMakers shop......lol) We will be visiting in October this year!
@AdventureIsOutThere We are on the last day of our vacation and we tried alot of the activities you have suggested! My wife LOVED Dollywood and the Luminights!! My son loved the Ridemakers and my daughter loved the Hatfield and McCoys dinner show! I just loved doing this with my family!! Thanks so much for your suggestions, brother!! Maybe next year we can meet up with you guys!! Take care and God Bless, brother!
If you do tastings at Ole Smoky they give you coupons! My boyfriend and I went recently and did two in two days and got a pretty good amount of coupons and were able to get a shirt and a jar of moonshine for a decent price.
I was planning on spending a weekend in Pigeon Forge to check out Dollywood. I'll be checking this place out too. Might head down to Gatlinburg and check out the attractions down there too. I didn't realize before I started researching the area that there is SO MUCH to do there. Might have to stay for a week to see all the things I'd like to see.
Love the video I'm actually heading up that way on Saturday. Just noticed in your video I didn't see the store I love to go to called All Sauced up, is it no longer there
I don't believe anyone would stop you from taking a beverage from Yee-haw or Ole Smoky & walk around with it. Glad to know it was helpful, we hope to do an updated tour here soon Steve!
The summer I would stop by after Dollywood’s fireworks and drone show, I want to say they typically run the fountain show until about 11. Thanks Dozer!
Planning a family trip at the end of June. How long do you say we would spend walking around the island? Is it something we can do in the evening or should we plan half/full day?
If it were Brie & our 3 kiddos, I would say WE would spend a half day. Every person is different with what they like to do. I hope the tour gives you an idea of what you would like do when you visit. Have you checked out our top 10 things to do in PF & GB video yet Josy? ~Ryan
Correct SkyFly is a separate ticketed attraction from the main Island Ride ticketing center. Here is a full overview of the SkyFly Leslie: th-cam.com/video/l3FlMHJUUrs/w-d-xo.html
They have a few amusement rides. There is a small kids train near the island at The Tower Shops at The Mountain Mile Denise - th-cam.com/video/YQACC5IJf8Y/w-d-xo.html
@@AdventureIsOutThere Thanks. I used to work there as a ride attendant. The train was my favorite. It rides all around the Island and one parent could go w the kids.
Your videos are so informative and immersive. Thank you. I just want to say that in the two years since you made this one, you have increasingly over-annunciated the narrative, which is hard to listen to. This one sounds like natural speech and is far more pleasant. Just an observation. Thank you so much for posting these.
@@AdventureIsOutThere it’s not a bad place. Very generic but we love the local places and holes in the walls. Maybe you should do a video on that. We’ll be in gatlinburg and pigeon forge in October 👍
@em1ownerify top 10 hole in the walls has been on my agenda for a while. I just need to find a way to duplicate myself like Michael Keaton in Multiplicity 😁

The Puzzle Shop is great. Not just puzzles but a bunch of tabletop games as well.
It is a neat store Rob!

Sky Fly was AWESOME !!!
I work on the Island and I have to say it is a great place to come on vacation. I really recommend the arcade if you have kids.
I'm 52 and still love a mean air hockey game with my 50 yr old younger brother!! 😂 Arcades never get old!!

Thanks PT, we love The Island in Pigeon Forge too!

We’ll be there the end of may. For a week. Looking forward to seeing a lot of this there soon. Thanks for the video. You did a great job doing it
Thanks Robert! New rides have been added, we will be doing an updated tour soon!

Great video!!! Definitely visiting soon💜
Glad you enjoyed it, we hope it helps Andrea!
We went there in the first week in August 2022 for 6 days. Paula Dean is a must place to eat
Thanks for showing us the Island. It was always so busy and there was no place to park because there were so many cars. We were so curious as to what was there. Now we know. We will have to make room for it the next time we visit.
Our pleasure Joe!
going to Pigeon Forge in May, haven't been for about 5 years, looking forward to all the new things there
Awesome, we hope you have a great time here! -Ryan & Brie
Been many years since I was there and this is all new to me! Worth the trip!

Our pleasure, we hope you have a great time Deborah!

Heya!!!!! It's been really long since I've been commenting on your channel! How's your day going? :D

There certainly isn’t a shortage of things to do here in The Smokies!

Thanks Tim!
Es un parque de diversiones muy bonito
Sin duda podemos pasar momentos agradables
That was a very helpful video - QUESTION at the Island can you walk around with alcoholic beverages. We are coming in October.
I don't believe anyone would stop you from taking a beverage from Yee-haw or Ole Smoky & walk around with it. Glad to know it was helpful, we hope to do an updated tour here soon Steve!
What’s the bungee jump thing called?
Can you do dog friendly places to eat and go to in Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge?
Thanks
Once again awesome videos really appreciate them. How late does the fountain show go is it possible to catch it after Dollywood closes?
The summer I would stop by after Dollywood’s fireworks and drone show, I want to say they typically run the fountain show until about 11. Thanks Dozer!
What's the close
hotel to stay there on Christmas ???
looks like a good time
Yes, there are lots of great fun things to do at The Island in Pigeon Forge! 🏝🎡

Do they have a stage that people perfirm on?
Sky Fly tickets are at the store itself and not a part of the ticket rides available at the ticket booth, right?
Correct SkyFly is a separate ticketed attraction from the main Island Ride ticketing center. Here is a full overview of the SkyFly Leslie: th-cam.com/video/l3FlMHJUUrs/w-d-xo.html
Are there alot of tourists in August..wanted to go right before the kids go back to school
I would say the busiest is between Christmas & new years. It is generally just busy from spring break to Christmas. ~ Ryan & Brie
Do they have something for someone that can't walk that far. Do the have electric wheelchair
I have never seen them have any type of wheelchairs/ecv's. You could always bring your own.
Where is the video on the island hotel
Full Margaritaville tour video coming soon Bev!
I wish I can moving to Pigeon forge
Do they still have the train ride ?
They have a few amusement rides. There is a small kids train near the island at The Tower Shops at The Mountain Mile Denise - th-cam.com/video/YQACC5IJf8Y/w-d-xo.html
@@AdventureIsOutThere Thanks. I used to work there as a ride attendant. The train was my favorite. It rides all around the Island and one parent could go w the kids.

Thank you so much for posting these.
I try my best to be clear & accurate. Can you give any better example? I am trying my best to be clear & accurate and non blab on about non-sense.
Does is cost money to go to island?
There is no parking or admission cost to access the island. You would need to pay to ride the wheel/rides. I hope this helps Janet!
No
I’m going there tomorrow
I swear it’s just myrtle beach in the mountains
Never been to myrtle beach so I wouldn't know 🤷♂️
@@AdventureIsOutThere it’s not a bad place. Very generic but we love the local places and holes in the walls. Maybe you should do a video on that.
We’ll be in gatlinburg and pigeon forge in October 👍
@em1ownerify top 10 hole in the walls has been on my agenda for a while. I just need to find a way to duplicate myself like Michael Keaton in Multiplicity 😁
This place is where that one time shilo bro record
Me who literally won the monster jackpot on that one game first try: WHAT THE HOW DID I DO THAT
Maybe if we run out of other things to do, but does not look that exciting to me.
We love the island!
I see everyone heading down in sept...less people..cant wait too less kids😁
idk why this place is called the island if it does not have island vibes it pisses me off sometimes
The name makes you mad???
@@AdventureIsOutThere people are silly
I cant believe you wasted this much time on this tourist trap.
It’s free 🤷♂️
The Island is a joke and waste of time!!!
You all have made my long- time desire shorten.Cannot wait to see it lol Frank & Carol
