The mountain coaster at Rowdy Bear is not your typical roller coaster because you get to control the speed of your ride down the mountain! After stepping into the coaster cart for a solo ride or with a partner, simply push the handles forward to go and pull back to slow down! Your adventure begins with a leisurely climb up the mountain on the steel track, but don't get too comfortable; once you reach the peak, it's full speed ahead as you twist and wind your way down through the woods! This attraction operates in virtually any weather condition and is even open at night for some added excitement!


2. Mountain Glider

Rowdy Bear Mountain is also home to the world's first mountain glider, a unique attraction that combines the elements of free falling and hang gliding! During your ride, you are strapped into a single seat that is suspended from an overhead coaster-style track. Hold on tight as you soar through the air like an eagle on this action-packed adventure! The mountain glider is located on the third level of the building, so just listen for the screams of delight to find the entrance! You can purchase a single ticket for the mountain glider or a combination ticket that also includes the mountain coaster.


3. Climbing Wall
