TripAdvisorTripAdvisorIt was fun having control of your own ride. The ride up the mountain is so peaceful. The ride down is a real thrill. Our whole family had a blast. We all rode twice.
TripAdvisorMy 6 y/o son, 5 y/o daughter, wife and myself had the opportunity to ride the Mountain Coaster at night. I had ridden it previously during the day several times but this time with my son strapped in with me at night made it that much better. We screamed the whole way down. Wife and daughter loved it too!
TripAdvisorWe went with my mother, who is 63 and I thought it was very kid/senior friendly. All ages could do this and have a blast. My mother said she will definitely ride again, as the view was beautiful and the wind in your hair took all your worries away.

TripAdvisorEven my 5 year old grandson enjoyed it. It was a really fun coaster!! Loved that I could control our speed.
TripAdvisorFun times and Smiles for all. One of the best values in Branson. Rode during the day and then came back for the discounted 2nd ride at night when the track was lit up.
TripAdvisorI’m 61 and it was a blast if you like speed and roller coasters. I would definitely do it again and the scenery was beautiful
TripAdvisorLittle one loved the coaster, did it at night the lights were awesome! Will be back to ride again. Lots of fun
TripAdvisorIt’s a must do. It is so pretty at night with the lights. We will do it again when we come back to Branson.
TripAdvisorVery fun, had trouble with ticketing but it was resolved soon enough. We went after sunset and the lighted track was fun and terrifying!
TripAdvisorIts a life time experience one should really give it a try. For sure people will enjoy view is fabulous
TripAdvisorI bought the driver with rider ticket. My son is 4 and absolutely loved the roller coaster ride! We took advantage of the second ride for $10 dollars and went back that night to ride with the track lit up. The ride itself is so much fun! All the staff was nice and helpful! My only “complaint” would be more ticket package options for multiple rides. I’m sure we would have gone more than twice if there had been more tickets options for multiple rides. It could get expensive going more than twice if you have to pay the original price again on the 3rd ride. Overall a great experience, and we will go back!
TripAdvisorThis was my first time ever doing this and it was seriously amazing. I did the night right and it was so much fun!! I will definitely be going back to do a daytime ride as well so I can see everything. 10/10 definitely would recommend to anyone looking for something fun and exciting to do!!!
TripAdvisorFun, exciting, love being pulled up the hill and flying back down. Seeing the businesses along the strip on hwy 76.
TripAdvisorIt was so much fun I can’t wait to come back! Everyone was so nice and the prices wasn’t outrageous:)
TripAdvisorExperienced the coaster in the dark. The ride was amazing! Very friendly staff. Best attraction in Branson
TripAdvisorFun little ride. A little costly. Sign said 16$ but charged my husband 18. When I asked they said 16 was with a coupon?
TripAdvisorBeen going to Branson for 40 years! This is one of the coolest things to do in Branson. We were in and out in lest then an hour.
TripAdvisorHad an amazing time, the staff was so fun and friendly. Runaway Mountain Coaster is the best coaster in Branson!
TripAdvisorWe rode at night and the track is all lite up with neons! Very cool!! Our 6 year old got to ride twice once with each parent and she was looking for another way to ride again!!
TripAdvisorOur kids, 9-12, plus the adults could have done this all day! Its THAT fun! Completely safe & the attendants were great with the kids. We'll be back for another round next year.
TripAdvisorIt’s important when traveling to have a good bed to be comfortable. Slept great on this bed and pillows. The breakfast on weekends was also later than average so got to sleep in some so we were refreshed for the last leg home.
TripAdvisorThe ride up was relaxing and peaceful, the ride down was as fast as you wanted or could use the brake to extend your ride! Was not disappointed!
TripAdvisorAmazing!! Highly recommend. Friendly staff. Very scenic and it was worth the price of admission. Great for all ages
TripAdvisorFamily of 4. Mom, Dad, 16 year old and 13 year old. Had so much fun the first time we decided to ride again. Would recommend
TripAdvisorI had done this in Gatlinburg, so of course had to do it in Branson. Did not disappoint. Fun times!!!!!
TripAdvisorThe staff here were VERY friendly, and the coaster was a lot of fun. We did the coaster twice, once to get the hang of it and again to see how fast we felt comfortable going. We felt perfectly safe and left with big smiles.
TripAdvisorIt was my first ride on this type of coaster. I partnered up with my wild, thrill seeking 8year old. We both laughed and loved the entire ride. It was a long way up but so worth the ride down. Challenge yourself and don't use the brakes!
TripAdvisorGreat trip for the entire family. Loved that we could control the speed of the coaster. Kids had a blast. Thank you.
TripAdvisorAwesome ride! Did 2 times on same coaster (with my 11 yr old,) then we both did our own. Peaceful ride to the top then adrenaline rush back down - Loovveedd it! Will do every time we go to Branson! Zana is sweet helpful lady inside and the 2 cute funny guys that set us up on coasters also know the coaster from the bottom up Thumbs ☝ Awesome ride!!!
TripAdvisorIt was a lot of fun! Definitely will be doing it again! I loved the Halloween decorations too. Also the staff was very friendly!
TripAdvisorWe want them to come up with an unlimited day ride. We will be back every time we are in Branson. We loved the wilderness views and the amazing ride. CAN NOT WAIT TO GO AGAIN!!!
TripAdvisorWe had fun on this ride. You can control your speed. Was really worth it and will go back. The staff there is really good
TripAdvisorWe took our 7year to ride the coaster. She loves thrills. My wife not so much, but she did it anyways. There is a nice scenic pull to the top, then off to the bottom at your own pace. The lines were very short, weather was great and the ride was a blast. We all had fun for a fairly decent price.
TripAdvisorWe had an amazing time on the Runaway Coaster! We took our 7 and 3 yr old and they loved it so much we had to ride it a second time! Great experience! Friendly staff!!
