ZORB Smoky Mountains in Pigeon Forge Tennessee

ZORB globe riding is the latest and greatest adventure activity to come out of New Zealand. Yes, that's right – New Zealand - the innovative little country at the bottom of the world (next to the penguins) that brought you Bungee Jumping, Hobbits, and a range of other crazy things to do while on vacation!!

Left to our own devices down under, we managed to conjure up the latest adventure craze to hit the world...globe riding!!! ZORB is the market leader in the sport and we make sure you, our dedicated ZORBONAUTS, leave us with an abdominal workout to be proud of; a new beat thumping in your chest, new dreams to dream about, and a bucket list with the number one item crossed off!

ZORB Smoky Mountains is the latest addition to the ZORB family. Operating since late 2007, it is now stamping its mark on the US market. Located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, it is the only official ZORB site in the whole of the US and attracts people from afar afield as the West Coast USA and abroad.

The ZYDRO ride is our wildest ride. We throw you, up to two friends*, and water (make a note – warm water in winter, and cold in summer. Yes, we do look after you!) inside the ZORB globe and send you on your way down the hill. Free inside the ZORB globe, you - the ZORBONAUT – are free to slip, slide, and spin inside the globe for an action packed, wet ride down the hill.

Known as our 'astronaut-in-training' ride, the ZORBIT ride is a head over heels adrenaline rush that will have you coming back for more. Strapped into the ZORB globe in a specially designed safety harness, you are sent on your trip down the hill rolling head over heels, heels over head as the ground and sky go whizzing past in a beautiful mosaic of blue... green ... blue ... green ... blu ... gree ... blu ... gre...bl...gr...b...g...bgbgbg...while your body is subjected to the soft and relaxing feeling of weightlessness and g-force.
Slightly more strenuous on the body, the ZORBIT ride is the ride for those wanting to stay dry and get their adrenaline fix. It will have you wanting more. And more. And more. And more.
