(WBIR-GATLINBURG) You can now take a wild ride at Ober Gatlinburg even when there's no snow on the slopes!
The new Ski Mountain Coaster opened this week. It departs next to Ober's Snow Tubing Park and begins with a 1000 foot uphill ride through the woods that border Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Once at the top, riders enjoy 3750 feet of adrenaline pumping turns, dips, zigs, zags, corkscrews and G-force action adventures. Riders control their own speed, from up to 25 mph for those looking for a more exhilarating ride to a more relaxed pace suitable for all ages.
Tickets are available on-site at Ober Gatlinburg for $15 per ride or three rides for $36. The ride is approximately 5 minutes and 30 seconds long.
