Tennessee Flyer Mountain Coaster review: While there are a ton in the area, this one's unique in that it's not a Wiegand like almost all the others. This one's from Aquatic Development Group, and noticeably more bumpy than others. You do start at a much higher elevation, though. I was able to walk right on for a Saturday morning, but the ticket booths were closed. So I had to backtrack into the larger complex near the skating rink to buy tickets. You also do need to pay to park at Ober Gatlinburg. We were there on a slow day to spend about 30 minutes at the coaster, and it still cost $10. Tram-only rate from downtown Gatlinburg at the time I write this is quoted at $29/person. So the value isn't exactly great.

This is terrible! The abrupt stops are extreme and cause alot of pain! The stop atbthe top it much worse! The seatbelts don't fit right and you feel like your going to fall out on the very banked corner turns. The coaster looks like it has been repaired multiple times on the track and it makes it very bumpy. It was definitely not a pleasant ride for me. I will be going back to the Sky Ranch coaster it was WAY better!

Do not waste your time or money. 1.5 hrs wait for a short, harsh ride. The karts auto brake if you get within 80 feet of the next rider; the stop is abrupt, constant, and unpleasant. Cost $45 to waste over 1.5 hrs of our vacation. Just a poorly executed tourist trap. Zero stars; do anything else with your time and money.

I've been on a few mountain coasters.. Helen GA, and the Ripleys mountain coaster are my more recent ones. The leading ones seem to be from Wiegand. I noticed the coaster here is not Weigand, but from a company called ADG. I build things for a living, and have had formal education in manufacturing processes, so I know how to spot things.

From the unnecessary cart stopping jolt just after you get on the coaster, to seeing the uneven connections that cause the coaster car to do a little jiggling, this ride was not smooth in the slightest, like I have seen every other alpine coaster I've ridden.

There are five (and a sixth coming) other mountain coasters in the area. I would encourage you to look at other coasters unless some kind of renovation or fixes are done to make this coaster have a...

This is by far the worst coaster we've experienced. The ride is violent. The coaster car bounces side to side on the track the entire way down. The track has some connection points that look down right sketchy. I've never used the brake on the other coasters I've ridden, but I was using the brake on this one. My 14 year old was in front of me and was waiting for me to get done riding and the first thing he ask me was if I still had all my teeth because of how horrible the ride was. Don't...
