Default Wednesday Gravity Coaster Night drive

Hi All. The Canadians are meeting at Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster, 867 Wears Valley Road, Pigeon Forge, TN, 37863.

Two Canadian groups are arriving from two different routes, arriving about 8:30 pm to the location to ride the coaster. The place closes at 10 pm and runs rain or moon shine. We'll be driving back to Fontana on Foot Hills Parkway. Cost is about $17/ride.

Feel free to meet up with us- no need to sign up. Look for a bunch of s2000's, Porsches, Lotus- many of them Ontario plated.

Hi Dave.

Curt and I are arriving from Devil's Triangle- check out the Kentucky Fried Drive on here.

Dhruv is bringing a big Canadian group from Asheville, NC (they're doing lunch there at Sierra Nevada). I'll send a note to Dhruv.

Here's our trip plan https://goo.gl/maps/VSuUR6G966KWzrxT8

We're gonna be heading to Sierra Nevada for a brewery tour around noon and then grab some food if you can meet us there.

Tammy and I are staying in Gatlinburg Wednesday and are planning on going through Ashville. Would you guys mind us trying to catch up with you at the brewery and be a part of the group? Not sure we'd be able to get there in time for the tour but lunch and the drive to Gatlinburg would be fun.
