What could be more exciting than a white-knuckle roller coaster ride through the forests of the Smoky Mountains? Easy: A roller coaster ride through the Smoky Mountains that incorporates amazing lighting effects you can control while riding.

When designing lighting for the Rocky Top Mountain Coaster in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee,Morlights designers set their sights on two goals—creating a thrill ride experience that perfectly integrates advanced lighting technology, and letting their imaginations run wild.

The results are truly stunning: As the coaster careens over 20 acres of mountainous terrain,vertical LEDs line the route from start to finish, with the ability to shift from color changing twinkles to rainbow sparkling effects to strobes. Endlessly customizable, the design allows for holiday color changes, syncing with video and musical content, and guest interaction via Twitter—post with a special hashtag and watch the light transition to your requested color as you ride.

Putting the design in the hands of the end user is just one way in which Morlights’ technical mastery informed the project. Morlights-designed custom controls enable limitless options,allowing the ride to be customized for any event. Yet staff operating the coaster can control the lighting effortlessly, with custom programmed, user-friendly modules.

Morlights’ creative vision and technical prowess have helped the Rocky Top Mountain Coaster give thrill-seeking guests a jaw-dropping experience—that’s never the same ride twice.
