Ober Gatlinburg is proud to announce the addition of an exciting, year round adventure attraction, the Ski Mountain Coaster, which opened August 31st 2015.
Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park and Ski Area is a fabulous setting for the coaster, which is nestled just below the peak of Mt. Harrison. Ober Gatlinburg has partnered with ADG, Inc., of Cohoes NY, the leading manufacturer of mountain coasters and slides in the US, to bring this attraction to the top of Ski Mountain Road. The ride lasts approximately 5 ½ minutes and covers approximately 3750 feet.
The Ski Mountain Coaster departs near the Tubing Park and begins with a tranquil 1000 ft uphill ride through woods that border the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Once at the top, riders are whisked down 2750 ft of adrenaline pumping turns, dips, zigs, zags, corkscrews and G-force action adventures. Although the mountain coaster can be exhilarating, it is the ultimate family experience and is great for any age. Children, parents and grandparents can comfortably enjoy the ride and choose their own pace down the mountain. Enjoy the high-speed adventure, hugging every turn and dip as you zoom down the mountain at speeds up to 25 MPH, or choose a more relaxed pace suitable to your enjoyment level.
Designed for comfort, the unique ADG Mountain Coaster carts provide a more secure and comfortable ride with room for two riders, higher back rests and shorter brake levers for easier handling and control. Whatever speed is chosen, the ADG coaster is top rated for safety and designed with a built-in collision avoidance and seat belt monitoring system.
