About Rowdy Bear Mountain Coaster

This page is listed as Rowdy Bear Mountain Coaster, but the operator's own site presents it as Rowdy Bear's Smoky Mountain Funpark, a multi-ride park at 2155 Parkway in Pigeon Forge. The coaster is one attraction among several, so plan for a mixed afternoon rather than a single ride. The phone number is (865) 365-1883.

What is in the park

The Rowdy Bear site lists these attractions:

  • Hot Rod Racers: a coaster you control, with the rider setting the pace through the hills.
  • Sky Patrol: billed as North America's first alpine flyer ride.
  • Slippery Slope Outdoor Tubing: a year-round outdoor tubing hill with a conveyor lift to the top.
  • Slippery Slope Snow Tubing: the snow version, which the park says returns on November 7 this year.
  • Trigger Town Old West Paintball: a target-shooting challenge.
  • Rusty Hatchet: outdoor axe-throwing lanes.
  • Carnival Midway, Skyland Ranch and Junior Flyer's Clubhouse: smaller rides and play areas for younger children.

Ride restrictions are posted on the site, so check height and age rules for each attraction before you commit a group to one wristband.

Wristbands and tickets

Rowdy Bear sells timed unlimited-ride wristbands and individual attractions, and you can buy online to skip the line. Reviews on the site mention one-hour, 90-minute and two-hour options, but prices and durations change, so use the ticket page for current numbers. The park also sells a Smoky Mountain Park Hopper Pass that combines a one-hour wristband here with rides at Wild Stallion Mountain Coaster and Rocky Top Mountain Coaster; the park advertised it at $59.99 in fall 2026.

Fall events

This fall the park is operating as Rowdy Bear's Boo Park, a family-friendly Halloween setup with decorations, music and themed treats, plus Boo Park Bash on select nights, a special-ticket event with trick-or-treating, unlimited rides, character appearances and a scavenger hunt. Rowdy Bear is also partnering with Rocky Top on Zombie Invasion, a haunted coaster event on select dates in September and October.

Planning tips

  • Pick your wristband length by the age of your group. Younger children run out of rides faster than teenagers.
  • Summer tubing works well on hot afternoons. Snow tubing is the cold-weather draw once it opens.
  • The park is on the Parkway, so traffic and parking are part of the plan on busy weekends. The Pigeon Forge trolley stops nearby.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes, and expect to get wet on the tubing hill in summer.

If you came looking for a single stand-alone coaster, Rocky Top and the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster are the dedicated options. Rowdy Bear is the better fit for a group that wants variety.
