A live action adventure ride that is loaded with special effects and is fun for all ages. You'll experience a catastrophic earthquake once you are strapped in your seat and the car moves out of the station. You'll see another train on the same track heading straight for you, as well as see sidewalks buckle, ceilings cave in, and watch the track sink into the ground.

Never Again!!!

We visited Gatlinburg and decided the first night just to walk around and do whatever. Don't make the mistake of wasting your money on this attraction...and I use the word attraction very loosely!!
 
 
 
 
 
It's better than the reviews say it is!
By BrianB, 08/19/09
After reading the reviews here, I considered this a "Must Do" and I have to say, it was just as great as the reviewers said it would be. This thing is so cheesy, it's hilarious. I loved it. I still laugh every time I think about my ride on "Earthquake". If you think half the fun of a vacation is telling your friends funny stories after you get back home, you need to do this attraction. My friends loved my story about "Earthquake The Ride"!
 
 
 
 
 
Do not waste your money!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/22/08
As everyone has already mentioned... this was the biggest waste of money! We go to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge every Christmas. After passing by this attraction after 10 years, we decided to ride it. The cost was outrageous. The ride only lasted 2-3 minutes and was lame. The ride is old and falling apart. It should be shut down. The owners should be ashamed for stealing peoples money. That is what it is stealing! The ride does not look like it does on the outside, it is very misleading. We got off the ride and told people waiting in line not to waste their money. We told everyone we saw. We could not believe it!

This place has been around for years. I have been to Gatlinburg many times. This ride was a waste of money 20 years ago and it is still a waste of money
 
 
 
 
 
What a tourist trap
By DAHL, 07/22/08
There are good attractions in Gatlinburg that are fun and enjoyable. This is not one of them. Expecting a ride similar to Universal Studios Earthquake we went on this ride. Its short, expensive, and the effects are lame at best. The owners of this ride should be put in prison for theft! STAY AWAY-You've been warned.

Don't Waste Your Time or Money
By unknown, 06/27/08
This in my opion was so pathetic. My husband and I really looked forward to this and was extremely disappointed. The out side of it looks better then the inside. They put you in a train looking ride. You slowly move forward and backward a couple times, they have a recording of a guy saying stuff about the earthquake, they blow a little fog and water and have a really fake gorilla in a box which they tilt to try to scare you. I am easy scared and I was like, is that it. Trust me this is a waste of time and hard earned money.

very dissapointing
By Lindsay, 06/11/08
Our kids were so excited to go on this ride... Then we got on... It's pretty sad when a 6 yr old isn't having fun on a ride. Outrageous prices made it even worse. I would never recommend this to anyone and i will go tell people in line how awful it is the next time we are there!!

Waste of Money
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/09/08
It cost $33 for 3 adults and 1 kid. The ride lasted 2-3 minutes and was a joke. The seats tilted a few times and the car went back and forth. There was NOTHING exciting about this ride. VERY DISAPPOINTING !!
 
 
 
 
 
Earthquake
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/28/08
This was the worst and most pointless ride. It was dark and boring because you didn't see half of the stuff going on. All it did was shake and have the lights flicker.. nothing at all like a real earthquake.
