Outdoor Summer Tubing & Snow Coaster
The outdoor tubing hill is a highlight, especially since it’s billed as the longest and fastest outdoor tubing hill in Tennessee. You’ll race down over 500 feet of track with a 70-foot drop, and speeds can reach up to 35 mph. It’s a rush that’s likely to appeal to thrill-seekers and families with older kids (though notably, children under 2 aren’t allowed, and safety measures are probably in place).
The Avalanche Snow Coaster offers a different kind of thrill—here, you get to control your speed, which adds an element of skill rather than just gravity. Many reviews praise its fun factor, with one person noting, “It’s a great ride for both kids and adults who want a little control over their experience.”
Axe Throwing & Target Practice
If you’re into trying your hand at something a bit different, axe throwing offers a chance to see if you’ve got a steady hand. Hitting over 50 targets on the Ski Lift Shootout Coaster adds a playful challenge. It’s casual but fun, and perfect if you enjoy testing your accuracy or just want a break from the rides.
Zipping Through the Hills & Swinging on the Ski Lift
The Ski Lift Shootout is a unique feature—swinging through the course and aiming at targets adds an interactive element that’s different from traditional amusement park rides. Reviewers have shared that it’s good fun and offers a different kind of thrill, especially for those who appreciate a bit of skill-based activity in their outdoor adventure.
