About Ripley’s Mountain Coaster

Ripley’s Mountain Coaster is a single-rail mountain coaster right on the Parkway in downtown Gatlinburg. Riders take the coaster cars up the hillside and then glide back down through the trees, controlling their own speed along the way. The ride stays open into the evening, and many riders like to go after dark when the track is lit up. Ripley’s often runs promotions such as a Kids Ride Free All-Day pass with a paid adult admission and discounted combo tickets that pair the coaster with other Ripley’s attractions in town. Because it sits in the middle of the downtown strip, it is easy to fit a ride in between shopping, dining and other Parkway attractions.
