The new coaster is the Tennessee theme park’s largest single attraction investment to date.
Growing up, many of my weekends were spent at my late step-grandmother’s house on Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia.
He’s cared for wild animals for nearly five decades, and his innovative work led to the highly successful reintroduction of elk into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Today, more than 250 elk roam the nation’s most visited national park.
