WildSide is the Anakeesta team's second act: 900-plus acres off Mill Creek Road at 115 Laurel Lick Road, built for mountain biking and guided UTV tours — and headlined since April 2025 by the MegaZip, billed as the longest zipline in America at 5,771 feet, with over 1,000 feet of vertical drop from launch to landing. Adventure Is Out There documented the place from before the gates opened, and four of this page's seven films are theirs: the sneak-peek build tour, the pre-opening field test, the grand opening, and the MegaZip's first runs.

PIGEON FORGE, TN : What's New At WILDSIDE In 2025 + Riding EVERY DOWNHILL MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL

Smoky Mountain Family's 2025 update rides every downhill mountain bike trail at WildSide and reports what's new in the park's second season. No usable caption track exists for this film, so it is cataloged as watch content.

NEW WildSide Pigeon Forge Adventure Park | Mountain Biking & UTV Rental

Adventure Is Out There's pre-opening field test of Anakeesta's WildSide: rental bikes or bring your own, beginner trails ridden on camera with intermediate and advanced lines left for braver riders, then a guided UTV tour. Filmed and narrated in English; only a Bengali auto-translated caption track was available, so it is cataloged here as watch content.

WildSide Pigeon Forge Grand Opening | UTV Tour & Zipline Announcement

Adventure Is Out There attend WildSide's grand opening: a UTV ride for Brie (who missed the sneak peek), the food, and the on-stage announcement of the zipline to come. Filmed and narrated in English; only an Arabic auto-translated caption track was available, so it is cataloged here as watch content.

The MegaZip

Two films ride it from different ends: the full briefing version — cost, weight restrictions, speeds, the practice zip, the ride to the top and the 1,000-foot-drop flight itself — and the family version, mother and daughter zipping while father films from base camp, UTVs and mountain bikes moving around them. As billed claims go, 'longest zipline in America' is the venue's own; the films state it as the park's billing and ride the full length either way.

Bikes and UTVs

Fifteen miles of trails were planned for the park: the field-test film rides the beginner lines on rental bikes (bring-your-own is allowed) and leaves the intermediate and advanced lines for braver riders, then takes the guided UTV tour. The 2025 update rides every downhill trail in the park's second season and reports what's new.
