Absolute blast. The staff is so nice and helpful. The coaster is so much fun. About 4 mins total. I highly recommended especially in the off season for the all you can ride wristband. We would have went a few more times if it wasn't so cold. read more

We wanted to check out a mountain coaster before we checked out and went to this one our last night there. Going at night was awesome to see it lit up and added to the vibe. Other than that, this coaster was over extremely fast. I felt you spend more time going up rather than going down. If you can get a deal, go for it. Full price? Possibly best to shop around for the fact it was over within no time. read more

I thought this went further and was like a scenic ride but it's just a roller coaster. Either way it was so fun. You can control your speed. You get a deal if you go 3x. Do it, you won't be disappointed. The staff were helpful and fun. read more

Really fun and I love that they take videos/pictures for you while you go down, but the ride feels a lot shorter than they advertise. And I wish they increased the time in between each person riding by a little. If you get too close to the person in front of you, your cart will automatically slow down, so you spend a lot of time not going as fast as you could. read more

We got a groupon for this place and I didn't realize it was in Gatlinburg. If you know anything about Gatlingburg you know the traffic is atrocious and it's a huge tourist trap. We waited in line to get our tickets for about 15 minutes. Then we waited in the line to get on for about 40 minutes. Go to the restroom first because get ready for the wait. But the bathroom was disgusting, reeked like a porty potty smells. Online it says that the ride is 5 minutes but its really 4min and 18seconds if you go full speed. The coaster was fun but kind of short for what you get. I wouldn't recommend paying full price because that is just craziness and not worth it. Kind of like Disney.. you wait an hour in line for a short ride. There are a lot of these kinds of coasters in the area. I do think this one goes faster on some corners than others though. read more

My first mountain coaster! My wife and I had stopped here a few times during our stay in Gatlinburg. The staff were very friendly when checking you in. The coaster was a blast; I felt we got a good amount of riding through the mountain but close to the heart of downtown Gatlinburg. read more

Magical First Mountain Coaster Ride - At Night! We had never been on a mountain coaster before, so we weren't sure what to expect--but wow, what a ride! We chose to experience the Moonshine Mountain Coaster at night, and it was such a great decision. The track is beautifully lit with colorful lights that made the whole ride feel like a glowing adventure through the mountains. Being able to control your own speed is a big plus--perfect for nervous newbies like us, but still thrilling if you want to go fast. The staff was super friendly, everything felt very safe, and the carts were comfortable and easy to operate. If you're visiting Gatlinburg, don't miss this! And definitely go at night for the best experience. read more

This is a super fun experience in the smoky mountains, with fun for all ages. Buying the combo pack for two rides is a good deal, but beware it expires after 48 hours, even if the coaster is closed early during that period. read more

Coaster was fun but waaaay short they tell you it's a 5 min ride, it was less than 1 minute long. It was Easy to ride & the line was relatively short right after they open at 10am. Waaaaay over priced $56 for 3 riders to go 1 time each for 3 minutes total read more

So much fun! Price point is high for a short ride, but I think it's comparable to everything in a big tourist area, PLUS you're able to ride again for only $8 each ride all day. We went early enough in the day that we were able to ride three times in less than 25 minutes all in. Large carts, so accommodating for everyone in your group. Free parking is a perk as well. read more

Although i didn't get to ride because i am pregnant. My daughter and my partner really enjoyed this experience on our visit to Tennessee! They offer tickets on Groupon but also have the option of $2 off i believe after your first ride. They space the riders out at a nice time and distance so the carts don't interfere with each other. Although these businesses are all over Gatlinburg, i would come back to this one for the speed and the views. read more

The Rundown: a mountain coaster with an entirely downward experience that gives you high speeds but a brief overall journey. The Review: Of course one has to experience a mountain coaster when in the area! We decided on Moonshine as they offered coupons (bringing price to ~$16/person). If you are military, they offer you added discounts which is great! You'll immediately be impressed at how high and large the coaster appears - but know that it is pretty much only what you can see. Other coasters may have some "side" journeys, with multiple lift hills. This location has one single large lift. Also they unfortunately charge you extra if not paying in cash so that was a disappointment. When stepping in you will realize these carts are more on the high tech side. You'll find cameras to capture your journey which offers you a unique keepsake! The incline was impressive - there were some creepy dolls stuck to trees even though it was almost Thanksgiving. so I believe they decorate and do a Halloween experience. Something to keep an eye out for. The ride itself once the lift is complete is definitely on the shorter side. It's one downhill experience, so overall this track runs on the shorter side (maybe 5 min max, ~3-4 is probably lift hill). I was hoping for some extra track beyond what we could see. Overall it was an okay experience, but for the price I would probably check around as I know others that are longer with additional theming exist. That said, being strictly among the trees was quite thrilling in it's own way which you may not find elsewhere. read more

Purchased the all you can ride in one day pass. Wasn't fond of the video camera mounted on each sled with the intent to have another money grab at the end to sell you a video of your reaction during the ride. Just hope they don't use mine for profit, because I didn't consent to it. I'll be checking periodically. There was a camera setup on the trail to snap your picture and guess what, to sell that too. For what you pay to ride, the place can afford to offer 1 picture for free. All about money so that's doubtful. Overall had a great time. read more

Moonshine Mtn Coaster was an awesome ride. We went after dark and the lights around the track were amazing. The staff was helpful and put any fear at ease, they answered all your questions and gave you a quick but confident crash course on operating the car. Moonshine Mtn coaster is a shorter ride than others in the area, but in my personal opinion- the nighttime experience and the speed makes up for it! *if you a Veteran or Military make sure you ask for the discount on your 2nd or more rides as they are discounted after your first one!! read more

This was a good day for me. I wasn't able to ride anything at Dollywood and this mountain coaster is a multi track. Weight limit is 375 which was great because I got to ride. It's maybe $13 per person to ride. You get into the coaster, put on a seat belt and you have levers on left and right side. You push them forward to move forward and pull back to slow down and or stop completely. They have a camera on the left side in the front that videos you the entire time. It has a memory card in the slot of the car that records your views the entire time. They take you up a very steep hill and then let you go. At first it's nothing to be scared about and can go full speeds, which speeds I think are up to 45 mph, which is interesting coming off a mountain in a single car outside v/s in a vehicle. You have some loops that make you think twice about full speed ahead but it was fun and I would do it again, since it's one of the only ones that I can go on. They provide you an opportunity to see your video at the end. You can purchase the video for 14.95 in which I did for both me and my son. The whole experience cost me nearly $60 but worth it. You can come back the same day if you keep your ticket and ride again for $8. Not a bad deal when you think about it. We had not wait when we arrived and just got on right away. read more

I am a very large woman, and at the time I rode this I was 335 lb, size 24 pants (have lost since). I was nervous as heck about it tearing up or flipping backwards but it was smooth sailing!!!!!! I wish I would've let myself go faster!! read more

Very friendly, which always makes it more fun and the coaster was fun but this is a very short ride for the money. There are other coasters in town that are two and three times as long and much more worth paying for so I would not reccommend. read more

This was a lot of fun but definitely a money trap Not only do you pay for the ride but then you have the opportunity to buy a video of your ride and a picture. If you end up buying both, it's a minimum $42 (including the ticket) They do give a discount if you ride it again but no discount on the videos/picture. Even though it's a coaster, there are no drops like roller coasters at amusement parks so even people who don't like typical roller coasters can enjoy the ride. You can also choose to go fast (around 29 MPH) or you can go slower (around 15 MPH) or in between. You have the ability to slow down the car or go full speed which is nice. Overall super fun- everyone enjoyed it and the kids would have ridden over and over if they had a choice. Definitely worth checking out at least once. read more

One of the best coaster experiences we have had. It was awesome at night as you wind your way up the mountain in piece and quiet with beautiful lighting. The safety features were top notch so you never felt you were in danger as you speed your way to the bottom. I only wish I was here prior to Halloween as they had a cool haunt from what I heard. I highly recommend this coaster if you're a fan or beginner. read more

Moonshine Mountain Coaster - The beginning of a great ride! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Hands down the best coaster we've ridden in TN. It's smooth riding and really neat at night with the lights and the little scenes around. I would say it probably lasts about 8 minutes. read more

Super fun! Our six year old loved it, and we went full speed. It goes around 30 MPH, and the ride is roughly 5-7 minutes (the first few minutes are going up hill). The line looks short, but does take a bit of time to get through. For three of us (four rides total since our daughter went twice), it was around $45. She loved it so much she wanted to go back the next day! read more

The staff was super friendly on a COLD, WET, SNOWY morning! We really wanted to do it and waited for the best weather during our trip - unfortunately that didn't happen. We rode on a Sunday morning at 1000am and the air temp was 27, mist and snow in the air. Talk about a brisk ride down. The military discount takes the price from $17 to $10. Re-Rides are $8 on the same day if you save your receipt. It was my first time on a mountain coaster so I have nothing to compare it to. I am an adventurous adrenaline type - It was a lot of fun - not scary, but fun and exciting. Highly recommend - just know that the ride up is about 4 or 5 minutes and the ride down is about 3 minutes long, so it it is not a long time. read more

Moonshine Mountain Coaster is a MUST DO! We braved the mountain yesterday (Saturday) afternoon and was able to pay and get onto the ride in little to no time! Pete, one of the employees, was such a great pleasure to have him working! He was talkative and charming and was a definite addition to the ride! With his big white beard...it looked like he could be "Mr. Moonshine" himself! The ride itself was fun and an experience that ALL Gatlinburg-goers should plan on experiencing. Gave it 4 stars, instead of 5 stars, because the old male employee at the bottom of the coaster was just plain RUDE. This guy (black & gray hair) should follow Pete around and get trained on customer service or get a job where you don't have to deal with the public. read more

Moonshine Mountain Coaster - Backdrop photo opp - Amusement Parks Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

I recently had an incredibly disappointing experience at Moonshine Coasters in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, primarily due to the unprofessional behavior of Beth, the manager. As my family was leaving, we were shocked when Beth began yelling at us from the balcony, demanding that a car be moved, even though it did not belong to us. She threatened that the car would be towed if it wasn't moved immediately. The aggressive and unnecessary way she communicated left us feeling unwelcome. After being treated so rudely, we decided to request a refund for the second ride we had paid for but no longer wanted to experience. Beth's attitude was dismissive and unprofessional, and at one point, she told us, "I don't have to give you a refund." Her lack of customer service skills and basic courtesy was astonishing. Beth's behavior not only ruined our experience, but it also drove away other potential customers. We witnessed families turn around and leave after seeing her yell at us from the balcony. One family even stopped us to say they would not spend their money here and that the way Beth acted was ridiculous. This kind of unprofessionalism is unacceptable, and I strongly urge upper management to reconsider who they have in such a customer-facing position. A manager should represent the business positively, and Beth's actions are doing the exact opposite. Moonshine Coasters could be a great place to visit, but not with someone like Beth running the show. As Beth, the manager, said herself, she did not care about a bad review or customers leaving. If I could give zero stars I would!! All bc of BETH THE MANAGER!! read more

What an amazing time!! Unlimited rides and an amazing operator. Pete kept us laughing and made our time their memorable. Fun and exciting time.

There is no shortage of options to choose from in the area when looking for a coaster. I'm glad we decided on Moonshine Mountain Coasters. We spent a good deal of time trying to find the one best suited to the needs of my "differently abled" daughter who has some physical limitations. We got a good deal on a wristband for unlimited rides Pete was the employee who was working the ride. He truly made the experience wonderful. He was kind, patient, and accommodating. He addressed my daughter and son-in-law to be by their first names. IMO, the experience worth every penny. Truly the definition of southern hospitality. read more

They renamed this mountain coaster this year, as well as replacing the whole track. It's one of the shortest mountain coasters in the area, making it overpriced. Some of the longer coasters are actually cheaper. It's a very short ride, it would be good for beginners who may be scared. Just not worth the price in my opinion. read more

We are visiting for my sons birthday and he was really excited to ride a mountain coaster. The ride itself is an enjoyable experience but the people operating the rides should probably not be working with the general public. Easily annoyed, hesitant to answer questions or be helpful and I have to assume hate their jobs. Getting into the ride, the lever instructions were unclear so i asked for clarification which was met with annoyance and getting off the ride, the operator was practically yelling at us to hurry up and get off but it's a little fidgety riding with 2 people, getting unbuckled and getting off while the ride is moving. We went before it was even busy, we saw maybe 6 other patrons when we arrived. We had plans to purchase the video at the end but discovered we had no card to scan and you can't get your video without it. When I inquired with an employee, it was too bad and no way to get it now. Thankfully the employees rudeness didn't damper my sons experience but it's a shame to come to a family friendly tourist attraction to be met with unhappy and rude employees. I tried to submit my comments to their website but "validation failed" and my message couldn't go through. Figures. read more

This was a great experience! So glad we chose this coaster. Pete was so good and very helpful. So personal with everyone in our party. Made everyone feel great about whatever speed they wanted to go. Everyone rode multiple times and the video is so fun to watch over and over again. Thanks for a great experience! read more
