Zorb Pigeon Forge

Zorb Pigeon Forge!

Very soon 203 Sugar Hollow Road at Stop light #1 in Pigeon Forge will have to be widened. Why? Because ZORB is NOW open.

Can you believe it? All the way from New Zealand to the Great Smoky Mountains, Zorb is rolling it's way right into the Number 1 slot for fun time family adventures, and outrageous things to do in Pigeon Forge.

Everyone keeps asking me if I have heard anything about when the Grand Opening is. Well, I have received some great news latley. Right from the top of the company. I am fully authorized to say that...ZORB PIGEON FORGE is now open for business!

The wait is over mate.

I have recently visited the Zorb site, and things are hoping and poping. Workers around everywhere, busy as a bee.

When I went by, the television show Good Moring America was there doing a little piece for their show. Cool!

Everyone was very nice and explained that things will be running smoooothly very soon.

I've also been contacted by Aliens from the head mothership orbiting over New Zealand, and the Big Cheese says Come on by things are rolling along...sorry, I had to say that.

Zorb was created in the early 1990's in Down in New Zealand by Andrew Akers and Dwayne Van Der Sluis by "accident". Their original intent was to make a big inflatable ball that would float on and across the water while you were inside. However after getting blown out to sea a few times they decided to just get inside and roll down hills, which turned out to be a blast. Zorbing was born.

Zorb Pigeon Forge will also offer "Hydro-Zorbing". Hydro-Zorbing is when they put about 5 gallons of water inside the Zorb ball with you(and up to two friends if you like) and roll you down the hill for a great way to cool off on a hot summer day!

They will be open year round. Even in the winter.

The pictures above show the progress that has been made. Everything is now rolling along.

There is a shuttle Van/Bus to take you to the top of the hill to do it again.

Zorbing is even in the Guiness book of World Records.

The fastest known zorb trip down a hill is about 52 kilometres per hour, set by Steve Camp of New Zealand. That's about 32 MPH for us here in the states. The longest Zorb ride is 570 metres or 1870 feet.

Who would have ever known that a giant plastic ball could be so much fun?

Zorbing is safe for everyone. Centrifugal force keeps you pressed up against the inside of the ball somewhat. You are not going to break anything.

Sorry, but at the moment I don't have any information on how much it will cost you to become a Zorbonaut. I plan to take a roll down the hill soon myself and as soon as I find out more details I will update this page.

Zorb is sure to become a huge hit in Pigeon Forge!
