I hear it's a lot of fun but I have always avoided it.

Not the biggest fan of Maggie Valley / Ashville area either. ALL are nice but when I go to the mountains, I want quiet. Six Flags, just West of Atlanta, is my favorite Amusement Park. I USED to love Myrtle Beach but that has gone down hill. When it comes to the Mountains, just gimme a porch to sit on and a Nature Trail. LOLOLOL I sound like my Dad!!!!!
