Pigeon Forge Gets AWESOME New Attraction

So you think you're smart do you? Well then, you should visit the newest attraction to come to Pigeon Forge, Tomb. Located in the popular Walden's Landing Shopping Center, it was developed by Ned Vikers. The attraction itself resides in a “pyramid” fully equipped with guides in costume. When guests come in, they are taken out in tour groups and explained the storyline. The sole purpose of the attraction is to solve multiple tasks and puzzles over the course of a half hour testing your strength, memory, and intellect. Not only are you racing against the clock at some points, but you can also trigger other boobie traps.

The challenges start off fairly easy then increase in difficulty. The guide helps you along the way should you need any help. All of this takes to an Indiana Jones-like backdrop. Guests travel from one dark, eerie chamber to the next. Their advancement is based on their ability to solve the challenge they are faced.

I really enjoyed this attraction. I thought I would do fairly well at solving the puzzles, but I found the “kick in the pants” refreshing. Everything about this place was unique and stimulating. This is exactly what our area needs. I especially liked the friendliness and excitement that the workers showed. It has my vote and I recommend it to anyone:) Check it out...http://www.tombadventure.com/

The Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Show: The Reviews Are In

Sounds like this show is a must see during your Pigeon Forge vacation!

Hooray "Hatfield & McCoy's" Finally Here!

Well, it has been 6 months since it was first announced that the much loved Black Bear Jamboree and Black Bear Jamboree Christmas Spectacular would have their last season. Opening day, May 26th, has came and went and things are going SPECTACULAR! Now, both David Fee and Jim Hedrick are known for their creativity and quality when it comes to putting together a production. Never in a million years did anyone have a clue as to what was to come when they decided the shows would be replaced by Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Show. Ideas were tossed around and sketches passed about, but all seemed so unreal. These two men took their dream and held on to it till the very end. The imagination of Fee and Hedrick is an inspiration to ALL ages.


All of Sevier County and guests traveling through witnessed your seemingly average theater morph into a feud-friendly setting consisting of two worn down cabins complete with graves, clothes line, and chicken coupes. It sure took a whole lot of elbow grease and manpower to look that Country. If you have ever had the pleasure of reading Snuffy Smith Comics, you could very well picture what the theater now looks like. Personally, I couldn't tell you whether the outhouse or the junked truck out front was the proverbial "icing on the cake." All of it comes together so perfectly like some kind of hillbilly wonderland with the jubilant twang of Bluegrass to comfort you as you walk toward the doors. I refuse to reveal what splendid and creative secrets lie behind the entry way. This is something you HAVE to see for yourself to believe.

Healing With Helicopters

With much regret, I admit, I was among those who know nothing about Helicopter Awareness Day. I have had the great pleasure of crossing paths with the owner of Scenic Helicopters, Dan Haynes, on a few occasions. He is incredibly personable and extremely high energy to say the least. "Busy" is a word that is not foreign to him by any means. Not all that long ago, at a meeting, he announced the impending Helicopter Awareness Day. Dan then went on to explain that the proceeds go to benefit Children’s Hospital. As it turns out, his father, the late Hal Haynes, had suffered and been cured of Polio as a child. Children’s Hospital had provided the care that Hal needed in order to recover from such a tragic illness. This event, which has gone on for 24yrs, seems one part tribute to dedication/skill of Children’s Hospital and one part celebration of the life of Hal Haynes, who brought so much to this area concerning helicopters.

This past Saturday, once again, was Helicopter Awareness Day. Scenic Helicopters raised funds by collecting $10 per golf ball; however, with that money the person donating could win any of 3 AWESOME prize packages:

Grand Prize, won by Brad Childress, was worth over $1250 and included a Grand Helicopter Tour for 4, king suite at Springhill Marriott for 2 nights, 2 rafting passes with Smoky Mountain Outdoors, and a gift cert. to Conner's Concepts Restaurant.

Second prize, won by Nick Garera, entailed 4 Splash Country passes, 4 Smokies passes, 2 Titanic passes, a gift cert. to Conner's Concepts Restaurant, and a gift cert. to NOC Great Outpost.

Third prize, won by Travis Bradley, included a season pass with Smoky Mountain Outdoors, 4 Smokies passes, 2 Titanic passes, and 4 Comedy Barn passes.

A helicopter dropped a massive amount of golf balls which determined the winners of the prize packages. The event was hosted by Lumberjack Feud and The United Way of Sevier County's Danny Devaney. Also, the beloved Skidz the clown made an appearance. Overall, the event was a great success. It made over $5, ooo and was a pure delight for those who attended. The best part, not to be overlooked, was that it was all for a FANTASTIC cause!
