I i’ve been there before btw it was scary
Love yalls shop
Nice interview here
We just stayed in this exact place last week and had a great time. Fantastic service, clean everything, walking distance to park and downtown. Looks the same today as it did in your video. Breakfast was included and consisted of a pancake machine and microwaveable sandwiches, breads, toaster, yogurt, coffee, juices, cereal and milk.
Im Leaving today to go to the smokey mountains and I'm super excited to try this ride!
Today in 2024 I hurt my back really bad😢 I was jumping from that thing you see behind the guy, jumping on the trampoline to the other one and back-and-forth fell down the other one that’s not in the screen and in the written about a foot in before I was gonna hit that thing right behind him the platform my spine started to hurt and it’s been hurting all the rest of the day by the way it’s vigil 2024
@@geoffreydavis8136 sorry to hear that
It's easier to believe reindeer can fly. Did he live-catch all the freshwater fish and keep them in a separate container with moving, oxygenated water? What did the predators eat? Eight people kept them all fed and cleaned up dung? Eight people of the same family would have succumbed to inbreeding birth defects within about 3 or 4 generations not to mention most the animals would have as well. Come on people snap out of it and a big fat jolly man cannot deliver presents to every child on earth in one night and shrink to go down their chimneys. This thing might have been big enough to carry a fraction of the food that would have been needed then maybe another one to house and transport the thousands of workers that would have been needed to feed, clean-up after and to medically care for the millions of animals that would have been on the other, much much larger vessel. Quit making children believe in this nonsensical fantasy.
It's HISTORIC. Not updating to suit your taste.
@kerbydickerson9886 Watch the entire video for context. At 11:49 I explain it well. Hairs, dirt and unfinished paint/construction is completely different than it not being my "taste".
When did this happen? Is this on the Parkway? Nice!
@@melindakhristine9417 yeah on the parkway. It went up this year.
I can't stand the locals up there they're most atrocious despicable people it's like they're IQ of crayon and they're rotten and they're the worst people I've ever worked with and the most problematic socially inept bunch of people like they're inbred and their bunch of overprivileged pratts that own the places and let their rotten relatives manage them and make everybody's life a hell.. USA cabins is the worst dilapidated unworking rundown cabins overpriced and I got bed bugs just working there their laundry facility
Can honestly admit but I find those little coffee makers make the worst coffee. Powdered creamer just doesn’t do it.
We watched your video in prep for our honeymoon trip and just rode this a few hours ago! Thanks for helping us find the best coaster in the area!
This looks lame and slow
Definitely not my favorite
Groovy thanks sharing!
Why is it so hard to find the dam roads change names two or three times roads going in every direction ????
Now this is my favorite hotel. Stayed here many times never a bad experience. They have probably the best hotel breakfast in Pigion Forge but the prices have gotten ridiculous that's why I am going to stay at the Best Western the next time we go too Pigion Forge. I hope they don't have roaches like you said it had when you were there. Maybe they sprayed for bugs and remodelled by now.
Too true. Love all the hotels back on Teaster but prices are out of control.
Wow kinda picky how much was the room go stay at the Hilton and pay around $250.00 a night and I bet you could probably find something wrong with that room also if you pick everything will a Magnify glass.
😆 It was $190 with tax and had a roach and the sheets were moist. Didn't take a magnifying glass for that. Would it have been better to say it was great? I'm guessing this is one of your favorite hotels and you're mad because I didnt like it.
@@SmokiesPlus No I am not mad I have never stayed there but am going to your review was 3 years ago I have read the current reviews I said current review the place has been remodeled since your bad experience the price I just booked it for is $100 a night and most of the current reviews says it's a great place to stay I will post a review when I get back.
@catfish24 ok, good luck. I'm sure it's fine. That's what's crazy... reviews were great when we stayed too. Expected it was solid.
I'm not a roller coaster gal at all but this looks fun. How much control do you have with the handle bars? Can you control the speed around sharp curves? That's when I had to look away. Even driving in a car I slow down around sharp turns. Lol. Or does the coaster control you? I wish someone would explain how that operates so scaredy-cats like me might want to try it.
Yes, you have control... Push forward to go faster and pull back to break. BUT you don't want to go to slow and have someone come too close to you. :) Pull back a little and it should slow you down enough.
@@SmokiesPlus Thank you so much. I may have to try it.
This coaster to me seemed kind of boring.
I’m gonna try it next week with my little one. Thanks for the vid
Now I'm sorry. Thats not the one we went to. It was off the stripcalled Grandmaws kitchen.
Im from Pittsburgh so im not exactly a stranger to Appalachia but I've never ever been on such a mountain ride. Thanks! WOW that was long!
With my dad from kynzyl
I've been on this mountain coaster
We stopped by last week during vacation and were disappointed that it was gone and replaced with a tattoo parlor. 😭
😞
I plan on going between tomorrow and the following week so exciting!
Hey! I may have already asked you this, but have you heard of Brown County, Indiana? It’s like the Midwest’s smoky mountains and the town Nashville, IN in brown county is like our Gatlinburg. You should definitely check it out!
Plan on going this summer!
@@SmokiesPlus awesome! You should make a video about it
Thank you for this im going the 16th-20th in June and the future forecast says rain and thunder storms all them days. Even got Dollywood tickets ahead of time for the 17th kinda wished we waited to see what weather was going to do before buying tickets, lol.
Have you ever stayed at Redroof Inn Knoxville east
No, I haven't
This one is easily the *best* Alpine Coaster in the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge area, rode it three times, including one at night, super super super fun!
That pie is frozen distributed by Edwards and by schwan's foods😮 those pies are $11 a piece for a whole pie, I wish you had said how much they charge you for the slice
Ii live a part of portsmouth
I went here like 10 times beacause i live at ## ## ### ###### #### ######### ####
Thanks so much for sharing this, we ordered Letters from Papa, looking forward to it. Looking forward to more podcasts too!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the podcast and that you picked up the book!
How high is this? I'm a daredevil but here lately with seeing all these deaths from unsecured rides it kinda scares me lol but I love high rides .lol
I think I read its about 190 feet.
This was great, keep them coming!!
Thanks man
Appreciate it brother
Really nice interview 😊
Thank you!
AEESOME MY daughter is there right now !!!
AATS plug!
I must say i'm very intruiged by the premise of the underground Cades Cove civilization idea. This whole issue is one that is close to our hearts.
Such a pleasant interview. It's awesome to immortalize the stories that would possibly fade away with the passing of time as Sarah has with her work. Great podcast Bob.
Great video Bob!
Thank you!
Wow - amazing view of the clouds! I don't I've ever been that close to clouds where they were moving that fast. Very cool.
Cool little stroll. 😎 I would prefer having a room on the back of hotel, over the river.
Great review. Shocked at the lack of attention to cleaning the rooms especially at their price point.
That hat tho!
I don’t think getting two beds to try out is crazy. We have been to multiple hotels where the beds were comfy in one room, then we came back another trip and the beds felt as if they were made from concrete. We even had one room where one bed was soft and the other bed was hard as a rock! Chain hotels are so absurdly inconsistent with quality. You get to the point where you would rather pay an extra $50-$100 a night to stay at a nicer hotel and know you will have a good experience.
Where and what kind of parking is there at the Island?
There's a huge free lot off to the back. You can enter from Teaster. You'll see a huge sign for the Island across from the Home2 hotel
Better carry bear spray and a gun in bear country. Had a black bear try to attack me in Sevierville at my cousins glad I had a gun
I miss Pigeon Forge, need to get back soon.😊
