The problem it helps solve

Finding something with a bit of adrenaline in Gatlinburg that kids can do too.

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

Who may find it useful?

Families visiting Gatlinburg who want an outing with a bit of adrenaline.
