The BRAND NEW WATERPARK EXPANSION IS NOW OPEN! The main attractions are the one-of-a kind lazy river – Kaleidoscope Kavern which features an immersive tunnel where the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains surrounds your senses as you float down the river surrounded by kaleidoscope lighting and captivating sounds.
When guests float down the new Kaleidoscope Kavern Lazy River, they will enter a unique tunnel where they will be surrounded by a dreamlike universe made of beautiful projections, dynamic lighting and nature sounds inspired by not only the Smoky Mountain region but also our magical planet.
Ridge Runner, is a three-story water coaster that will feature three steep drops, uphill blasts, high speeds, and the premier of the world’s first slide with Reverse AquaLucent effects with colorful, spellbinding patterns. These special tubes also allow light to filter through, adding brightness to the Wild WaterDome.
According to Pete, our Managing Director, “Ridge Runner is really amazing! To get riders’ adrenaline pumping, the water coaster begins with a heart-pounding 22-foot drop at 29 mph before propelling the riders up into a right hairpin turn inside the first Reverse AquaLucent section. A second drop follows into an open flume, followed by an uphill blast into a sharp left turn inside another Reverse AquaLucent tube with different patterns. For thrill’s sake, the coaster will repeat a third time into a final set of patterns inside another Reverse AquaLucent tube. To round out the sensations, riders will loop through a dark tube before finishing in an open flume.”
These new additions to an already incredible waterpark, make the Wilderness at the Smokies the must visit family attraction in Tennessee. Make plans to visit ASAP!
