The Wheel on the Island

If you've been to Pigeon Forge during the past year you probably noticed this gigantic Ferris wheel right in the middle of town. We decided to go down and check it out last night. Even though we didn't ride the wheel we discovered that the Island is a cool place to be!  

The Island is a new, still being developed, entertainment center in Pigeon Forge. There's lots of food of all kinds. Timberwood Grill, Mellow Mushroom, Auntie Ann's Pretzels, Cinnabon. There's French fries and yogurt, jerky and funnel cake, popcorn and coffee....  Well, you get the idea. For fun you can ride the wheel or try your luck at the arcade or the shooting gallery.

You can do some shopping at the two gift shops and pick up some cool souvenirs, or you can sit outside in the big rocking chairs and enjoy the music. 

The area is still under development and will soon add Margaritaville, the Resort and restaurant, Smoky Mountain Moonshine, as well as some other surprises. The next time you are in Pigeon Forge, check it out!
