At nearly 4000 feet in downhill length - that's over a mile of track - it's one of the longest alpine coasters in the USA. You can control the ride, that reaches speeds of up to 27 mph if you go all out and don't use the brakes. This video was filmed at full speed throughout the ride.

The Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster is located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Also called mountain coasters, these gravity-operated rides installed on a hill or mountain utilizes a track made of stainless steel tubes. The sleds are designed to not come off of the track during the ride and riders control their speed by applying or releasing brakes connected to levers on each side of the sled.
