Who’s Ready to Zip Longer?Â
We are adding a third zipline to our already exhilarating Dueling Zipline Adventure! By extending the course you will now be able to zip over the Chondola and take in amazing aerial views of Gatlinburg’s sparkling downtown as well as the National Park. The third zipline will be ready to ride in time for Spring Break fun!
Construction Progress Report:
  Anakeesta Mountain Coaster is currently being installed. The team from Brandauer, the world leader in coaster innovation, is onsite to install the first-ever single-rail coaster in the United States! Our unique coaster sits low to the forest floor and allows you to race down the mountain at up to 25 miles per hour or go slower and enjoy the scenery. In addition to extending our zipline, we are adding several fun elements currently under construction at Anakeesta. Â
Anakeesta Restaurant and Bar – We are in high gear on the construction of our full-service restaurant and bar and sunset deck. We will feature a diverse menu of Southern favorites as well as craft beers and cocktails. The sunset deck will offer covered seating to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Mt. Leconte Range, as well as epic sunsets and the sparkling lights of Downtown Gatlinburg.Â
Garden Walk – Additionally, our arborist is busy designing a stunning Garden Walk featuring an array of flowers, greenery, and landscaping to stroll through on the east side of the mountain. These new additions are scheduled to be open by Memorial Day so start planning your summer visit!
