The park uses approximately 10 gallons of water per run during the summer months for the HydroZorb experience.
The zorbing spheres are constructed from high-tensile, durable plastic designed to withstand significant impact and weight.
The site operates on a hillside specifically selected to maximize speed and duration of the roll.
Zorbing originated in New Zealand before being introduced to this Tennessee location.
Outdoor Gravity Park in Pigeon Forge is the only zorbing destination in the United States. The facility features four distinct zorbing tracks that span over 1,000 feet in length. Riders are placed inside large, clear inflatable spheres and rolled down a hillside. The park utilizes a unique 'HydroZorb' experience, where several gallons of water are added inside the sphere to create a waterslide-like sensation. Participants can choose between single, double, or triple rider configurations. The tracks are situated on a hillside with views of the Great Smoky Mountains. All zorbing activities are gravity-fed rather than motorized.
At the bottom of the hill near the finish line, where you can capture riders emerging from the spheres with the hillside in the background.
Bring a full change of clothes and a towel, as the HydroZorb experience involves getting completely soaked.
Wear secure shoes that can get wet or bring sandals with heel straps.
Book your sessions online in advance to secure your preferred time slot, as walk-ins are subject to capacity limits.
Do not arrive wearing heavy denim or non-waterproof materials, as these become uncomfortable when wet.
Operations are weather-dependent; severe wind or heavy storms may cause temporary closures. Seasonal hours may reduce operations during winter months.
