5.00A Total Blast — Great Value & A Must‑Do! Moonshine Mountain Coaster was my introduction to the USA’s mountain‑coaster fun, and now I’m officially hooked. My girls are going to love this when I bring them back! I’ll admit it — my age was showing because the amount of caution I pulled on that first run was wild. But once you settle in, it’s an absolute blast. What really surprised me was the value: it’s not a quick “up and off” ride. You actually get time to settle into the track, find your pace, and enjoy the full experience without feeling rushed. I only wish I’d done the night ride too — that’s definitely on the list for next time. This is a fantastic option for families. They offer dual riders so the little ones can jump in with you, while the older kids can chase their own thrills solo. It’s the perfect mix of safe, fun, and flexible. The staff were amazing as well — friendly, patient, and really clear in explaining the whole process so you feel confident before you take off. That kind of support makes a huge difference, especially for first‑timers. Highly recommend a visit here. Go get yourself some thrills — this was honestly a highlight of my trip.

1.00Just a normal and expensive rollercoaster. A “tourist trap”- better to save the money for an amusement park with unlimited rides.
Get the multi-ride pass

3.00The ride is pretty quick. It was fun but I suggest the multipass or unlimited pass if you are going to spend any time here. We did one ride with no line. It goes quick. If I had waiting in a long line it wouldn’t have been worth it. The carts have cameras on them which is fun but just another way to get you to shell out tons of money.

5.00We booked for Moonshine Mountain Rollercoaster and paid half of what I would have if I bought the tickets at the place. And we had a great time. Wasn't a wait. We got right on the ride.
Great time!

5.00It was a great ride and the people that run it were super nice. I have never been on a mountain coaster before so have nothing to compare it to. Wish the ride were longer!
Family Fun!!
