5.00My family of 6 had a really really fun time on this coaster. We rode at night and that definitely added to the excitement. It’s eerie going up the hill in the dark in the woods! Do your best to go full speed on the way down- so fun! Check Groupon for possible deals. We were able to save $20
Great ride!

5.00Good value ride for a bit of family fun, very safe ride climbing up the mountain then winding down at speeds of around 30 miles per hour a good laugh. At the end great to see who was the fastest down the slopes not always who you expect :)
It was okay

3.00It was an hour long wait for literally a five minute ride. My teen and I felt it should be twice as long and then, it would be so much fun! It was a def made for all ages to ride it.
Best time ever

3.00This was a good and fun mountain coaster. My family of 7 rode 5 different mountain coasters. We had so much fun. This was a smooth ride, it just went by too quickly. It’s the perfect ride for someone who wants to try a mountain coaster. Everyone who worked there was so friendly.
Fun time

Decent Ride, Helpful Staff, But Overpriced for the Experience

3.00I purchased this experience for myself and my girlfriend as a surprise during our trip to Gatlinburg while visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I originally planned for us to ride on Thursday night to enjoy the coaster with all the lights on. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm caused the ride to shut down, and I never received any notification that it was closed. The website also did not provide any updates about the shutdown, which was frustrating. On the positive side, the staff were very kind and accommodating. They honored my Thursday tickets and allowed us to use them the next day, which I appreciated. As for the ride itself, it was fun but honestly just okay. It felt a little too short for the price, and while both my girlfriend—who loves roller coasters— and I enjoyed it, we were still left wanting. Overall, I’d say it’s worth doing once if you’re already in Gatlinburg and curious, but it’s not a must-do. The staff made the experience smoother, but the value for the price just wasn’t there for me.
