The Mountain Mile & Tower Shops is one of the most dynamic new developments to open in Pigeon Forge with a 180,000-square-foot multi-purpose retail, dining and family entertainment complex that spans 174 acres.
The Mountain Monster, centered at the Tower Shops on the Mountain Mile, features three exciting thrill rides from a 200 ft tower that overlooks Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains.
Monster Fall offers a true freefall experience. Eight passengers ascend to the top of the 190 foot tower slowly, getting a birds-eye view of the surrounding mountain valley. At the top, riders are suspended for up to 12 seconds, then dropped without warning at speeds of up to 52 miles per hour, before slowing to a smooth stop.
Monster Dive is an aerial ride that drops two passengers from a 175 foot platform, then swings them out over the complex at 65 miles per hour.
Monster Launch features an open seat design where passengers sit back-to-back and are ‘slung’ 170 feet directly up in the air. And for the ultimate thrill, there is an option to add a flip at the top.
Enjoy a variety of upscale dining and shopping options at the Tower Shops, including prime national brands and local specialty shops.
