ZORB Smoky Mountains — Attraction in Pigeon Forge

splish splash i was taking a bath in a crazy plastic ball of ice cold water then someone pushed me down a hill and i got waterboarded rolling down the hill! and that tells you a lot about what its like to zorb at this place. it was good but be careful about zorbing without a shirt. theres a door with a zipper and i'm pretty sure if you caught your nipple on it, that thing's gone. shoving people into balls and rolling people down hills, they're pretty good at that. organization, not so much. there is not really any direction here, rules are never adressed and it is just up to you what you wanna do. show up when you want or don't go at all. nobody cares. toilets: clogged with toilet paper. somebody jammed at least four rolls of toilet paper. it's like somebody forgot a towel and dried themselves with toilet paper and just jammed it in the toilet when they were done. you gotta find the sunny spots, when its 45 degrees it's really cold so you have to stand in the sunny places. at the top of the hill, grass was warm and good. little rocks were in there though, worried they might pol the zorb. balls filled with frigid water. 95 degrees? what temperature system are they using? that seems like freezing at least. employee sprayed everyone in line with freezing water. it was cold. when we got in, we screamed. zipper was not zipped up before we were already rolling down the hill. i said "wait its not zipped" but we were already rolling. you can't bring shoes. you can't bring towels. it's 45 degrees and you're soaking wet. you can't have any items of comfort. although, it does make the bus ride up much more enjoyable because it feels so warm. lady behind us was worried because she wanted to bring her towel up and i had to tell her she couldn't. why isn't there heated floor? website says maybe water was 95 degrees at some point but it's not anymore. maybe there was a dash between so it coild be between 9 to 5 degrees. if you are claustrophobic at all, don't go. some of the orbs look brand new and clear and some of them are yellow and dirty like an old florida man. better to go solo, 3 people is a little rough. you might get beaten. should not be in a orb for more than 5 minutes. to simulate the zorbing experience, have someone blast you with a garden hose, roll you down a hill, and thrash you with a zipper. i like when you exit the ride and it feels like you've been birthed by the zorb ball in a flood of ice cold water. i now know what it's like to be a newborn baby calf in a dirt green field of cold water and zorbs. reminds me of neo in the matrix getting dumped out of a sack of fluid. maybe it was in the matrix or in something else, maybe the poltergeist. cement was very hard and hurts feet. not smooth. too many feet. smooth out that cement and give us water shoes. stairs was full of sharp rocks and slippery. figure out the rock issue and stop putting sharp rocks where people's feet are going to be. there was a suicide van in the parking lot in case you have a really bad time and want to end it all i guess. i wonder if it was there if you had a really bad time. maybe my wife should have visited it. maybe it was there to transport suicidal people and make them zorb to renew their zest for life. the van was driven by kathy bates. i saw my track coach there, not sure why. maybe he was trying to outrun the balls or was training somebody. it takes about 3 times before you enjoy it so don't give up. first couple times pretty bad but you might kinda like it by the third time....

Not worth the money. Zorb balls were yellowed and old. Zero visibility. The staff were the worst (except for ladies at the check-in.) The boys “helping” customers get in and out of zorbs and the man bus driver never looked at or even acknowledged the customers, reluctantly offered terse one word responses if asked a question, never offered advice or help, and were all incredibly rude. We paid $241 for three of us to roll three times each. That’s the same price as a waterpark, where we’d have endless rides and all day to experience them. By the way, if two or more people roll together, that counts as one roll per person. So for three of us, that’s a $60 roll. Are you kidding me? There are a TON of more fun and affordable things to do...

Very fun & excellent service, but WAY too expensive. If the price were practical, business would be booming. The day I went (a beautifully sunny June day) we were the only people there. I feel like with how short the ride is, maybe $20 for 3 rides down the hill would be reasonable. That's still on the pricey side, but I would probably pay it. $50 should give you unlimited rides all day, not a single minute long ride. It's like paying for a day pass at Dollywood but only getting to ride one ride. Does that make sense? I feel like it doesn't make sense economically, there's so much opportunity to...
