Soaky Mountain Waterpark is 50 acres of outdoor waterpark in SEVIERVILLE, opened in 2020 across the highway from Wilderness at the Smokies — its sister resort, and a different park from Splash Country (Dollywood's, in Pigeon Forge); the three are never interchangeable and these films keep them straight. The season runs May into September. The 2026 tour at the top of this page was filmed on opening day, May 9, and covers every slide plus the year's food lineup.

The Smoky Surge wave pool, the BlackBear Rapids adventure river, the FlowRider surf simulator and The Edge racing water coaster anchor the 2026 lap. The 2022 ultimate guide adds the practical layer as filmed then: general admission $50 ($42 under 42 inches, military discounts offered), no outside food beyond one sealed water bottle per guest, cabanas worth reserving ahead, and a 10 a.m. rope drop that rewards arriving by 9:15. Parking runs $20 a car in 2026 ($25 for buses and RVs; free with a season pass).
Rafter's Rage
The newest raft slide debuted on opening day 2025 to a chilly 60-degree morning and walk-on lines; mascot Boomer gave it two thumbs up. The same film passes the other family raft rides — Rainbow Revenge and Blue Mountain Mayhem — and the Coyote Springs pool.
Winter clothes
In its off-season the park hosts Shadrack's Christmas Wonderland, a drive-through light show — the December 2025 drive closes the page. The all-slides POV compilation from the 2020 opening season is pure ride footage, cataloged as watch content.
