Get ready to take flight this spring on MegaZip, the longest zipline in North America! This record-breaking, adrenaline-packed attraction is located at WildSide in Pigeon Forge and sends you soaring over the Smoky Mountains at speeds up to 55 miles per hour! It all takes place on one continuous cable, which is more than 5 times the length of a standard zipline cable! Here are the top 3 things to know about the new “MegaZip” zipline in Pigeon Forge:
MegaZip is an epic attraction that is sure to become the ultimate destination in the Smoky Mountains for thrillseekers! The zipline is smashing all records with its jaw-dropping length of 5,771 feet, and it features a nearly 1,100-foot descent for nonstop adrenaline! As if that doesn’t sound awesome enough, there are 4 side-by-side lines so that you can race against your friends and family members for some serious bragging rights! The self-braking system puts you completely in control, so take a leisurely ride to soak in the beautiful views of the Smokies or go full throttle as you reach highway speeds!

Another one of the top things to know about the new “MegaZip” zipline in Pigeon Forge is the ride restrictions, which are in effect for your safety! All riders must be at least 10 years old to zip, and a legal guardian must be present for anyone under the age of 18. Zipliners must also be a minimum of 48 inches tall and a maximum of 82 inches tall to participate, and all riders must weigh between 50 and 260 pounds. Finally, closed-toe shoes are required, so leave the flip-flops and sandals behind!
MegaZip is opening this spring at WildSide, a unique adventure park just 6 miles off the Pigeon Forge Parkway (the official address is 1099 Laurel Lick Road, Pigeon Forge TN 37863). The 900 acres of untouched wilderness at WildSide feels exactly like the Great Smoky Mountains National Park itself, and it features unobstructed views of Pigeon Forge and Mount LeConte!
