Real experience
Yane’s experience
Yane rode the Moonshine Mountain Coaster in Gatlinburg, through the trees of the Smoky Mountains. Each cart has a lever so you can brake whenever you want or let it go, and kids ride in front with an adult behind them.
The positives
- You ride down through the trees on a rail
- You control the speed with a lever
- Kids ride in front, so you can see them the whole way
- If it scares you, just brake and go slowly
What you should know
- It's at 306 Parkway in Gatlinburg, near Anakeesta, so you can do both on the same day
- Check the hours and the rules for kids before you go
