About the Coaster

The Rowdy Bear Coaster is a mountain coaster experience at the all new Rowdy Bear Mountain attraction complex in Gatlinburg. Guests control the speed of their own sled, which is attached to a steel track that twists and turns down the mountain.

For double riders, the combined weight cannot exceed 375 lbs per sled in dry conditions and 330 lbs in wet conditions. This is a fantastic experience that the entire family can enjoy and will be talking about for months after their vacation to Gatlinburg!
