SkyLand Ranch

SkyLand Ranch is a mountaintop farm attraction on the Parkway in Sevierville, best known for the Wild Stallion Mountain Coaster and big Smoky Mountain views. Built around a Wild West and Appalachian farm theme, it mixes thrill rides with animals, hayrides, live entertainment and seasonal festivals.

The ranch sits at 1620 Parkway, across from Tanger Outlets on the main road between Sevierville and Pigeon Forge, so it's easy to work into a day of shopping and sightseeing.

Wild Stallion Mountain Coaster

The Wild Stallion is the headline ride and one of the longest mountain coasters in the region. It winds down the mountainside through twists, turns and dips, with Smoky Mountain views by day and the lights of Sevierville by night. You control your own speed, so first-timers can take it easy while thrill-seekers let it fly.

Ride it in the daytime for the scenery, then come back after dark for a completely different experience.

Views from the top

The upper ranch is known for its scenic chairlift, the WagonWheeler swing tower and the Legacy Lookout, all with sweeping views over the Parkway and the Smokies. Check with the ranch to see which upper-ranch attractions are operating during your visit.

Festivals and entertainment
