Located along the Parkway in the heart of Gatlinburg, Moonshine Mountain Coaster offers an exciting mountain adventure for visitors of all ages. As the first mountain coaster built in Gatlinburg, this family-friendly attraction delivers a unique combination of thrilling speed and beautiful Smoky Mountain scenery.
Your experience begins with a relaxing uphill ride as the coaster pulls you to the top of the mountain, giving you time to take in the peaceful surroundings. Once you reach the summit, the real fun begins. Riders control their own speed using easy-to-operate hand brakes, allowing you to cruise leisurely through the curves or race down the track at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.
The track stretches more than 3,000 feet through the mountains and features twists, turns, and dips that create a smooth yet exhilarating ride lasting about five minutes from start to finish. Each coaster car accommodates one or two riders, making it perfect for families, couples, and groups looking for a fun and memorable adventure together.
One of the most unique aspects of Moonshine Mountain Coaster is that it operates both day and night. During the evening hours, the track is illuminated with colorful LED lighting that transforms the mountain into a glowing light show, creating a completely different riding experience after dark.
Whether you're seeking a heart-pounding thrill or a scenic ride through the Smokies, Moonshine Mountain Coaster delivers an unforgettable Gatlinburg experience that will have you wanting to ride again and again.
