Put on your HoloSpex glasses. And hope for a full-moon: It adds the perfect backdrop when you park your car and dance to the light show at Shadrack's Christmas Wonderland, about 90 minutes south of the state line at Bristol.
This gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains at Sevierville, Tenn., covers the parking lot at the Smokies Stadium, just off I-40 Exit 407.
Now through Jan. 8, Shadrack’s provides a dreamland of dancing lights, synchronized to match the moods of songs like Go Fish performing “Christmas With a Capital C,” David Foster’s “Carol of the Bells” and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra playing “Wizards In Winter.” All are broadcast on a FM radio station.
And HoloSpex?
Did that word throw you off?
Well, those are a kind of 3-D glasses.
You can get a pair of the blue-and-white specs through the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce.
Such glasses make city lights and decorative lights seemingly explode, or turn into snowflakes.
And that makes Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland even more fun, as you drive through a maze of LED lights, as the music plays, just before turning left and cruising the parkway through Pigeon Forge to reach the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at Gatlinburg.
Now through Feb. 29, Winterfest remains a bright-light bonanza, as both Sevierville and Pigeon Forge plus Gatlinburg celebrate the season with lit Santas and sleighs and reindeer along the streets. Look for displays of a riverboat and the North Pole plus roadside bridges in lights and tons of twinkling snowflakes.
