Yo /travel/ so for spring break I'm driving to the smoky mountains from Michigan. Is there anything really cool I should check out in the area?

If you like amusement parks, Kings Island is close to the freeway between Dayton and Cincinnati. If you like history, Carillon Historical Park in Dayton has a couple of neat things, like one of the original Wright Brothers airplanes. They have one of the strangest carousels I've ever seen, as well.
Also, once you get to the Smokies, check out Dollywood. They are opening a huge new ride when the park opens later this month called Lightning Rod, which is the world's first launching wooden roller coaster. All of its rides are set inside a mountain valley and use the uneven terrain extensively. The food is excellent, too.

To build on what he said, Dollywood is a solid park. In fact, both the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg areas are great with a ton to do. Just keep in mind they are fairly touristy. Like Myrtle Beach in the mountains. I don't think there is much nightlife there, but you won't struggle to find things to do during the day.

Different poster. It's operational, but I believe the season for the railroad ended after Christmas and won't come back until the weather warms back up.
