Wilderness at the Smokies in Tennessee to Offer Holiday Happenings in Fall & Winter 2022
Wilderness at the Smokies is a family-friendly resort located in Sevierville, Tennessee. In honor of its 15th anniversary, the lodge announced a huge expansion coming in the fall of 2023. The investment would add 40,000 square feet to the property with its new waterpark additions. Let us take a closer look at what this expansion will entail.
Coming Soon: Switchback Mountain
A brand new three-story water coaster named Switchback Mountain is going to make a big splash with thrill seekers. The water coaster will feature three steep drops, high speeds, and the premier of a new ride technology. It will be the first water coaster in the world that offers Reverse AquaLucent effects. Another new addition is the Forbidden Caverns Lazy River which will immersive tunnel with color-changing LED kaleidoscope lighting, mirrors, and projections. The third item in the expansion project is making the rooftop area larger by adding Lookout Lagoon, complete with a glass-edged pool. There will also be dining options at the Peak Rooftop Bar and Grill. There will also be cabanas for guests and an entertainment stage. The rooftop area will be elevator accessible.
