In mid-June, Rowdy Bear Mountain officially launched the Gravity Coaster. This spiraling alpine coaster cuts through scenic woodlands and offers gorgeous views of downtown Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains.
The Gravity Coaster is self-propelled, which means that passengers can control their own speed. Darebevils can push their cart to the limit to zoom down the track, while folks who are looking for a more relaxing ride can go slow and soak up all of the area's breathtaking natural beauty. The Gravity Coaster reaches a top speed of 30 miles per hour and the entire ride typically takes 5 - 7 minutes, depending on how fast you decide to go.
While riding The Gravity Coaster during the day offers the best mountain views, nighttime rides on the coaster are a unique experience that you don't want to miss. In the evenings, the coaster is surrounded by thousands of colorful lights that passengers can admire as they whizz down the track.
The Mountain Glider
In late October of 2017, Rowdy Bear Mountain will open one of the most hotly anticipated rides in Gatlinburg: The Mountain Glider. The first ride of its kind, The Mountain Glider will allow guests to soar through the forest canopy like a bird. Passengers on The Glider will be suspended in a harness and can experience the ride in a seated position or with their arms stretched in front of them like Superman. The Mountain Glider will feature two parallel lines, so you can race a friend or family member through the trees.
