About Outdoor Gravity Park

<p>Outdoor Gravity Park offers a different thrill as America's only zorbing destination. Here, you'll roll down a 1,000-foot hill inside a giant inflatable orb filled with water.</p>

<p>The park features three distinct tracks, each offering unique experiences. The Red track combines curves and speed, letting up to three friends ride together. The Purple track delivers straight, high-speed runs perfect for groups, while the Orange track offers solo rides with intense zig-zags for adventure seekers. Everyone gets thoroughly soaked, so bring swimsuits, towels, and a change of clothes.</p>

<p>Don't miss the Fishpipe, an innovative rotating orb where kids as young as 3 can safely experience zorbing tricks. Between runs, visitors can cool off on the Slip n' Slide or grab a bite at The Downhill Grill.</p>

<p>Pro tip: Book your sessions online in advance. Walk-in visitors pay full price, and popular time slots often sell out, especially during peak season. Plan for about 1.5 hours if you want to try all three tracks.</p>

<p>This isn't your typical Pigeon Forge amusement park with long lines and crowds. Instead, you'll find an outdoor experience that combines water fun with gravity-powered thrills. The staff prioritizes safety while ensuring everyone has a blast, making it suitable for families, thrill-seekers, and anyone looking to try something different in the Smokies.</p>
