Branson is known for its thrilling attractions, and visitors looking for a unique and family-friendly outdoor adventure are increasingly turning to the area's mountain coasters. Built into the natural slopes of the Ozark Mountains, these gravity-powered rides combine breathtaking scenery with exhilarating drops and vortexes. Riders navigate the mountainside in bobsled-style carts, enjoying an exciting adventure with stunning views. Unlike traditional roller coasters, mountain coasters put riders in control of their speed, allowing each trip down the track to be as leisurely or adrenaline-pumping as they choose.
The Branson Mountain Coaster
Taking full advantage of the Ozarks’ rolling terrain, The Branson Coaster delivers a one-of-a-kind adventure as America’s first double alpine coaster. Riders can choose a solo journey or share the excitement in a two-person sled while racing through the scenic beauty of Branson’s hillsides.
The adventure begins with a thrilling 100-foot elevation drop before sending riders twisting and turning through a series of curves. Just when you think the ride is over, a mechanical lift carries your sled into the second half of the experience, where even more twists, turns, and adrenaline-pumping excitement await. The grand finale features a sensation similar to free-fall, making for an unforgettable experience.
The Runaway Mountain Coaster
Experience one of Branson’s most exciting outdoor adventures aboard The Runaway, the signature attraction at Branson Mountain Adventure Park. Stretching nearly a mile through the scenic Ozarks, this mountain coaster combines breathtaking views with heart-pounding thrills as riders reach speeds of up to 30 mph.
As you wind through the hillside, you'll navigate sharp turns, dramatic drops, and two exhilarating 360-degree horizontal loops, all while taking in the natural beauty of Ozark woodland. If you're looking to add excitement to your evening plans, The Runaway Mountain Coaster offers nighttime rides illuminated by colorful lights, revealing the hillside in a whole new way.
Copperhead Mountain Coaster
The newest addition to Branson’s lineup of mountain coasters, Copperhead Mountain Coaster delivers a breathtaking ride with sweeping views of the Ozarks. Featuring more than 3,350 feet of downhill track, it boasts the longest downhill mountain coaster ride in Branson—and the highest in elevation.
For an extra dose of excitement, return after dark and race down the illuminated track beneath thousands of LED lights, transforming an already exhilarating ride into a truly unique nighttime adventure.
