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!!

5.00They have a great winter deal, $35 per person for 1 day unlimited rides. $10 for the second day of unlimited rides. They had similar deal last year on Groupon and we really enjoyed it. We came in the morning and in the evening. The lines were long, especially in the evening( Valentine's weekend). But the kids were very happy. They always ask to come here again and again.

4.00Had a great time riding the coaster! The rides just never last long enough. It seemed like the majority of the time on the ride was when you were being pulled up the hills but loved that it was in the woods and nice ride coming down. Friendly staff.
Awesome Experience

5.00It was so much fun, I enjoyed being able to stop the coaster and look at the view around or slow down when it was going to fast for me!
Very Disappointing Activity

2.00We bought tickets online at Viator and still had to wait an hour in line to get the paper tickets to ride a 2 minute ride! This ride is $17 each for a 3 minute ride up the mountain and 2 minutes down if your lucky. If you are like my husband he got behind a lady that stopped and got no speed from the ride!! That being said the most disappointing thing was only one person manning the ticket line and they sell a $35 all day ride ticket. All those repeat riders skipped the line several times before we even got to do our one ride!!! A bunch of rude kids pushing us aside to ride again and again!! It took us 45 minutes to get into Gatlinburg for such a disappointing activity. Stay in Pigeon Forge and ride one of the many coasters in town and save yourself some time folks and stress folks!!
First purchased 1 ride online then came a second time and got a wristbands
