New Zip Line Attraction Unveiled at Dollywood

Dollywood in Pigeon Forge is introducing a new attraction next month that will make zipping around their 150 acre theme park easier than ever. The new SkyZip attraction, a ride in which guests can pick from among 5 zip-line treks ranging in length from 100 feet to nearly 1,000 feet, including a 100-foot swinging bridge.

This is the first multiple station zip-line experience to open at a US theme park. The elevated and inclined zip line is safe and secure for guests as it works with a pulley & seating apparatus allowing visitors to zip from one point another propelled by gravity.

The unveiling of this new attraction coincides with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park 75th Anniversary, which is a bonus, as this tour will also provide an environmental and historical tour of undeveloped and unspoiled property surrounding Dollywood hosted by specially trained adventure guides.

The SkyZip tours are themed, depending on your launching point. Fliers can launch from a perch above the park's region called Wilderness Pass and soar to Dollywood's famed triple spiral-looping roller coaster, Tennessee Tornado, and beyond. Or Fliers can take a trail that takes adventurers breathtakingly close to Eagle Mountain Sanctuary. After a brief hike, the adventurers can zip above Craftsman's Valley, home to Dollywood's talented artisans, and back to the same point where their adventure began.

The SkyZip does require a fee in addition to regular Dollywood admission. It is operated by Hawaii based Skyline Eco-Adventures.
