Rowdy Bear Mountain, Gatlinburg

Rowdy Bear Mountain is home to more than just a few curious bears. Those looking for a grounded thrill ride can hop aboard Rowdy Bear's mountain coaster. This is gravity-operated, following a track of about a mile that winds and whirls down the mountain side. Riders control their own speed, so they can leisurely amble down the verdant mountain side, or race along the slick tracks at up to 30 miles per hour.
