World's first zipline roller coaster comes to Tennessee in heart of the Smoky Mountains

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. — Calling all daredevils!

The world's first cable-to-rail zipline roller coaster has opened in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, right in the heart of the Smoky Mountains.

The "Flying Ox" takes you on a 1,000-foot ride 80 feet in the air, and you won't just go in a straight line -- you'll drop and soar through the air around 15 miles an hour. The ride is part of Paula Deen's Lumberjack Feud Show & Adventure Park, featuring other activities like the High Woodsman Challenge, Timber Towers and Loggersports.

“With the addition of the Flying Ox, Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud Show & Adventure Park is the only location in the world where thrill seekers can ride a cable-to-rail zipline roller coaster,” said Vice President of Marketing Josh Mayberry, in a press release. “Lumberjack Square strives to provide a unique experience where guests can watch a lumberjack show then try their hand at some of the competitive events they see performed by the professional lumberjacks.”

Tickets for the park start at $29.95 per adult and $24.95 per child (only children ages 5 and up are allowed in).
