Are you headed to the Great Smoky Mountains this summer? Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are, understandably, popular summer travel destinations for families all over the south (we go over this in our Pigeon Forge Budget Travel Guide). It is so beautiful and there are so many fun things to do there.
One of those fun things to do is the Moonshine Mountain Coaster! If you haven’t heard of it, you may know it by its previous name, the Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster. The Moonshine Mountain Coaster is a great way to see the Smoky Mountains in a whole new way.
They have single and double-rider coaster cars. They go down the mountain on a specially-designed silent track. You can use individual brake handles that control your speed. So you can enjoy the ride any which way you like. If you just want to enjoy the great views, you can. But you can also reach speeds of up to thirty miles an hour!
And if you want an all-new experience, try it at night. Then, you can enjoy a ride with glowing LED track lighting!
This is an award-winning mountain coaster mentioned by many publications and websites. Awards and recognition it has received include:
- Winner of the 2025 Best Mountain Coaster Award given by the Best of Pigeon Forge
- Named one of the Top 7 Mountain Coasters in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge by Visit My Smokies
- Named one of the 4 Thrilling Mountain Coasters in Gatlinburg That You Have to Experience by Stony Brook Cabins
- Listed in the 4 Mountain Coasters in Gatlinburg You Have to Try by Sidney James Mountain Lodge
So this is definitely something you’ll want to try!
