Come Ride the Hill and Feel the Thrill! The Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster is the LONGEST DOWNHILL TRACK IN THE UNITED STATES, with over 1 mile of track and the ORIGINAL ALPINE COASTER in the Smokies! So if you are looking for an unforgettable experience on your vacation here in the Great Smoky Mountains, this is a must do! The carts are designed to carry one or two visitors in comfort but can be handled easily by one alone. The riders are in control of the velocity (up to 27 mph) and this gives them a unique hands-on experience! Rain, we have rain shields, snow or sunshine, no problem, as the excellent braking effect is unchanged so you can ride year-round! Age restrictions, weight restrictions may apply, parents may need to ride with small children. Our track has colored LED lights so you can experience our awesome Night Rides! The great "Uber Ride" is HERE!

I've ridden an alpine coaster in another country and was impressed how "smart" the carts are in the U.S. The levers are easy to control and automatic braking ensures no run ins with other vehicles. Unless the cart automatically brakes you, it is a fairly smooth ride. The view up the mountain is serene and I enjoyed being able to experience some green space. My children ages 3, 6, and 8 begged for more rides. Initially I bought a Groupon package (2 rides for just under $20). If you retain your receipt every ride after is $10 or $6 for 3-6yr olds. While we did not go at a high volume time, be mindful you can get behind a slow cart during peak hours. My first ride I was able to go full speed. However, my 2nd ride the cart continually braked due to a slower driver in front of me. Just be mindful you could encounter this at any alpine coaster.

Fast speeds, tight turns, popular thrill ride! Don’t be surprised if you want to ride more than once
Leave your hats in the car, and anything else you don’t want to lose! This is one fast coaster! It starts out as a nice, leisurely ride, as you ascend the hillsides and enter the woods. Beautiful views on the way up. And although you might not realize it, the coaster climbs pretty high. The real fun starts on the way down, as you start to pick up speed. And since you’re holding onto the brake handles at all times, you can control how fast you hit those turns! I chose to push forward on the handles and let that car fly at top speed, even through the turns, all the way down! Big thrills! My grandkids ages 5 and 6 got back on, right away, for a second thrill ride! Each car is big enough for one adult and one child. Adults would be better off riding one per car, since two per car might be too cramped! The whole ride lasts about 8 minutes, and there is a discount for second rides and military service. (Thank you for your service!) There are also discount attraction booklets, located nearby. So you will easily be able to find a discount ride coupon! Get there early. It’s a popular ride!
