Grand Opening of Holiday Valley's Mountain Coaster

Get ready to scream with excitement this Saturday at the Grand Opening celebration of the Mountain Coaster at Holiday Valley’s Sky High Adventure Park. Be at Tannenbaum, Holiday Valley's West Side (where Sky High Aerial Adventure Park is located), on Saturday, August 20th at 10 a.m. with at least $6 in your hand for a ride on the coaster.

From Holiday Valley's Press Release:

The Mountain Coaster is similar to a roller coaster with cars that ride upon a track. One or two riders load a car and travel 1,865 feet up the hill parallel to the Spruce Lake lift. At the apex the car begins its thrilling 2,490 foot descent zigzagging and spiraling down through the woods. There are 15 curves, 12 waves, 2 jumps and a giant spiral along the length of the ride. The average grade is 15.2 percent with a maximum of 23.6 percent. Riders can accelerate or decelerate using handles on the sides of the car.

The Mountain Coaster will operate daily through September 5th and then weekends through at least October 9th. The coaster will also operate during the winter season. The cost of a single ride is $6 during the summer season.
