Lost Mine, on Teaster Lane since 2023, is the most themed of Pigeon Forge's mountain coasters: the ride tells the story of a mine overtaken by bees, whose honey drew the bears down into it — a story carried in sets, signage and over a million dollars of lighting along the track, as filmed. The mini golf plays the same story, and hole four plays inside the mine itself. Even the ticket is in character, styled like a mining-company share certificate — $19.07 with a $2 coupon-book discount, as filmed.

Adventure Is Out There's series entry (#9) gives the theming the credit for its ranking — the ride as narrative, not just descent. Peach State Prime review both halves and land on 'genuinely cute' for the honey-mine theme; Yankee in the South, riding in 2025, call it a little scary and a lot of fun — an experience as much as a ride. Night and full-ride POVs close the page, including Front Seat POVs asking outright whether it is the most themed alpine coaster in town.
The mini golf
The golf gets its own hole-by-hole film testing the venue's 'best themed course in the Smokies' claim against the bears-and-bees story, raccoon gag included. There is a gift shop and a gem mine on site, noted in the J & B film.
