Expect weather delays

Lines may close for rain or high winds—book with a flexible afternoon or a backup day in Sevierville/Pigeon Forge.

Declare health issues

If you have back, heart, or pregnancy concerns, notify the operator before booking; the tour advises against participation for these conditions.
