of this video almost right next door to Three Bears is the new space race adventures with plenty to do for the family right as soon as you walk in the door you're met with this Hightech VR experience it looks really cool can't wait to try that out but I think the main attraction here is the otherworldly P putut Golf Course Space Race really did a good job of setting this course apart from others in the area there's a ton of things to Feast your eyes on around every corner and it's rain or shine well depending on what this Cloud inside may [Music] do they also have this huge immersive VR space as well that has several games to choose from a full Cafeteria on site along with some arcade games to play as [Music] well we're still headed north arm Parkway and now we're pulling into Lumberjack Square where they just welcomed a new oldtime photo looking towards the Lumberjack Arena from the park parking lot you would squirt around the right hand side to find the studio this is four Bandits oldtime photo and they're at a new location they've been in town for a while this is our favorite studio in town we had a blast getting our old time photos done next we're headed towards Veterans Boulevard where we'll hit Dolly's new heart song Lodge it's easy to get to especially if you're familiar with the dream Mo it's right behind that property the heart song is beautifully situated with mountains in the background this is a huge property beautiful mountain lodge Dolly stated that she wanted this property to be more Lodge than Resort but admitted it is both it has Dollywood level attention to detail every space here is beautifully and thoughtfully [Music] curated this is the intersection where you turn into heart song and dream more you notice there's some construction going on this is a continuation of Jake Thomas road that leads over to the lant center on teer this new conductor Road will give visitors to the area easier access and a new route to travel between teer and properties along Veterans Boulevard speaking of teaser we've already introduced you to this new attraction along that stretcher Road however lost M Mountain coaster and puput has something new for visitors to the area area in 2024 since experiencing this coaster earlier this year we've talked about it being our favorite coaster in the area and now one of the best just got better because they have introduced new Rider facing cameras on their carts so now if you want to take your lost mind coaster memory home with you you have the option to purchase the video after the ride next up we pull off teaster and head to the big boat on the parkway the Titanic but not for the museum they actually just opened up a brand new custard shop right next to the boat there are a ton of sweets and goodies in this place that is sure to be a hit with any kid in the group immediately stepping into this building the first thing I noticed was that they did seem to capture the excitement that people must have felt before boarding the Titanic the waffle cones are made by the relative of a survivor of the Titanic correct yes and of course One does not simply go to the Titanic custard shop without trying some of the product so custard was served on the Titanic first class had Frozen Custard second class was ice cream so so so we're getting we're getting the first class treatment right here with this custard right look at that we continue following these beautiful blue skies to Tanger allet where we'll find our next new [Music] thing Experia ocean journey is an amazing immersive experience that visitors of all ages would enjoy as soon as you enter the attraction it gives you the feeling of submerging deep into the ocean and you don't come out till it's done these immersive features are all around you schools of fish swimming huge fish sharks whales the whole nine yards [Music] last year saw the closing of the China and gift Mark and the connected Christmas shop it's always sad to see things like this go but this year coming soon kenam and Answers in Genesis which created the ark experience in Kentucky is bringing a VR experience to Pigeon Forge called Truth traveler this will be similar to The Experience you're about to see here which is at the ark experience in Kentucky however representatives from The Arc experience said they wanted to add additional scenes from history into this experience in Pigeon Forge I'm just going to take a guess that you're probably going to see in true kab fashion dinosaurs and people living in the same periods of history in this VR experience is sure to be interesting whenever it comes our way last but not least something we're certainly excited about is the 2024 40th anniversary classic cookie cookie Festival there's going to
