When you’re looking for thrilling things to do in Pigeon Forge, mountain coasters are always at the top of the list. However, not all coasters are created equal. At Lost Mine Mountain Coaster & Mini Golf, we’ve designed an experience that combines speed, scenery, and storytelling into one unforgettable ride through the Smoky Mountains.
Here are four unique features that make our Pigeon Forge mountain coaster a must-ride attraction.
1. Reach Speeds of 30+ MPH While Controlling Your Own Experience
One of the most exciting things about riding the Lost Mine Mountain Coaster is that you control the speed of your cart. Every sled is equipped with a self-controlled brake system, allowing you to decide exactly how adventurous your ride will be.
Looking for an adrenaline rush? Go full throttle and experience thrilling speeds of 30+ miles per hour as you race down the mountain. Prefer to enjoy the scenery? Slow things down and take a relaxing glide through the trees.
This unique feature makes the coaster perfect for everyone, from thrill seekers chasing excitement to families who want a more serene ride through the Smokies.
2. Over a Mile of Track with Incredible Smoky Mountain Views
Our mountain coaster isn’t just fast—it’s also the longest ride in the area. The track stretches over a mile, winding through the hills and offering beautiful views of the surrounding Smoky Mountains and downtown Pigeon Forge.
As you climb and descend along the track, you’ll experience a mix of twists, turns, and scenic moments high above the ground. Whether you’re riding during the day with mountain views all around or at night with dazzling lights illuminating the ride, the scenery is part of what makes our coaster so special.
3. An Extra-Long Ride Time (9+ Minutes of Fun)
If you’ve ever ridden a mountain coaster that ended too quickly, you’ll appreciate the difference at Lost Mine.
Our Pigeon Forge mountain coaster offers a hair-raising 9+ minutes of pure adrenaline and speed or meandering rides lasting much longer, depending on how fast you go.
The experience includes four uphill lifts and downhill runs, creating a dynamic ride with plenty of twists and excitement along the way. Instead of one quick drop, you’ll enjoy several thrilling segments that keep the adventure going from start to finish.
4. An Immersive Themed Mining Environment
Our coaster isn’t just about speed—it’s about storytelling. The entire attraction is designed around the theme of a mining operation in the Smoky Mountains.
As you ride, you’ll pass through a fully immersive themed environment featuring mining elements, tunnels, and playful secrets hidden throughout the course.
Keep your eyes open as you glide along the track, you never know what you might spot along the way! The theming helps create an experience that feels more like an adventure than a typical mountain coaster.
Experience the Lost Mine Adventure
With 30+ mph speeds, over 5,400 feet of track, 9+ minutes of ride time, and immersive Smoky Mountain theming, Lost Mine delivers one of the most memorable attractions in Pigeon Forge.
Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or a group looking for fun, it’s the perfect way to experience excitement and scenery all in one ride.
