Fatty Friendly Guide to Gatlinburg, TN: Part One

Hey there, thrill-seekers and foodies! Welcome to Part 1 of Shapely's Fatty Friendly Guide to Gatlinburg, TN – tour ultimate roadmap to all things fun, flavorful, and downright fabulous in this mountain paradise. Strap in and get ready for some serious fun as we dive headfirst into the wild world of Gatlinburg.

Grab your sense of adventure and let's dive right into the first stop on our epic journey: the Wild Stallion Mountain Coaster! This ain't your grandma's rollercoaster, folks – oh no! With the power to control your speed by simply yanking that handle up or down, it's a thrill ride like no other. Plus, there's a camera onboard to capture your best "rollercoaster face" and a gift shop chock-full of snacks, souvenirs, and action shots to remember your wild ride by.

But wait, there's more! Just a hop, skip, and a jump away lies Tennessee Homemade Wines – and trust me, even non-drinkers like myself can't resist its fruity charms. With two tasting options – free or premium – it's the perfect pit stop for sampling crowd favorites like old apple and blackberry. Seriously, you won't wanna miss out on these flavor bombs, they'll make your taste buds do a happy dance!

Now, if you're feeling a bit peckish after all that excitement, fear not – we've got you covered. Our next stop: the Local Goat, where scratch-made craft food is the name of the game. From mouthwatering dishes to handcrafted beverages (and yes, even homemade ketchup!), it's a foodie's paradise and especially kind to burger lovers.

And last but certainly not least, we're taking our adventure to new heights with a visit to the Treetop Skywalk at Anakeesta. Whether you're soaring up on the ski lift or cruising in a van, the views are outta this world! And once you're up there, the fun doesn't stop – explore the bar, check out the gift shop, or dare to walk the rope bridge path for a thrill like no other. Just don't forget to snap plenty of pics – including a group shot with your crew!

So there you have it, folks – Part 1 of Shapely's Fatty Friendly Guide to Gatlinburg, TN! If you're loving the vibes as much as we are, be sure to leave us a comment and stay tuned for Part 2.
