Ziplining in Pigeon Forge: America's Longest Zipline

Race down a mile-long cable at highway speed, 1,100 feet above the mountains.

MegaZip is a ziplining activity in Pigeon Forge where you soar down a single 5,771-foot cable, America's longest zipline, at speeds up to 55 mph, descending nearly 1,100 feet over the Smoky Mountains. The experience lasts about 2 hours and includes safety training, full gear, a practice run on a mini zipline, and a 45-minute ride to the top of Raven's Den mountain before the descent. You must be between 10 and 82 years old, 48 to 82 inches tall, and weigh between 50 and 280 pounds. Closed-toe shoes are required.

The experience

The cable itself is the draw: at 5,771 feet, it's over five times longer than a standard zipline and stretches across a single continuous run. You'll reach speeds up to 55 mph as you descend nearly 1,100 feet over the mountains. Four side-by-side lines let you race friends and family for bragging rights, and the setup means no stopping mid-air to catch your breath. Just one unbroken flight from top to bottom.

The day starts with check-in and safety training, then you'll gear up and practice the braking system on a mini zipline before the group heads up. A 45-minute ride takes everyone to the top of Raven's Den mountain, where the actual descent happens fast. The whole outing, from arrival to landing, takes about 2 hours. A live guide in English walks the group through every step.

What’s included

Is this one for you?You operate the zipline yourself from start to finish with a live guide managing safety and logistics, so this suits anyone who wants to feel the speed and control rather than watch it happen. The shared group format means you'll race against other zipliners on the four side-by-side lines, which works best if you enjoy a little friendly competition.
