At the top of the Smoky mountains lies a cozy little amusement park called Ober Gatlinburg. Plenty of rides to have fun including the Alpine slide and the Go-Karts, but today's post is all about the cherry. As in flavor. Cherry flavored sno-cones.The beauty above hit the spot on a warm summer day. The shaved ice was not clumped in a big chunk, and there was an ample amount of cherry syrup to give the sno-cone great flavoring. All in all, a pleasant experience.
The cost is the only drawback. Being on top of the mountain, you are literally a captured audience. You either pay the price, or you go thirsty. I opted in and shelled out $3.00 for this sno-cone. (Ahh yes, I remember as a little kid buying sno cones for a nickel at Idora Park and Geneva on the Lake.)
Ober Gatlinburg cherry sno-cones receives 2.75 shots out of 5 and recommends them on hot summer days.
LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL
We live in Arizona and took a trip back to the east coast for the first time. We stopped at Gatlinburg and wanted to ride the Alpine Slide. It rained and we were about to leave and it cleared up and we got to ride after all. It was the best time up there. My son talks about it all the time! Almost every paper he writes in school is about Gatlinburg. He wants to move there and loves it. It was a wonderful trip and Gatlinburg was a top highlight of the trip!
ReplyDeleteRealworld, I'm glad you and your family had a great time in Gatlinburg. We have also had a blast at many of the places there.
ReplyDeleteThe slide was great.
