This is a very fast single seat coaster ride and is part of the Ober Gatlinburg system of rides…read more The sky lifts and are part of the Ober Gatlinburg park as well. This is not a ride for the weak unless you break it a lot with the pull up handles. You are striped tight into the seat. It goes fast and it Is over in about 2 to 3 minutes. YOU control the speed. The faster you chose you go the more g-forces you will feel. It does Not go upside down but just takes a lot of sharp turns which give the g-force feeling of about 4 G's. This ride is extremely safe. It has a lot of automated safety features such as automatic breaking if you get closer than 180 feet to the car in front of you. In the unlikely event the seat belt came loose it will automatically stop as well. So you are not going to be able to do something unsafe or stupid on this ride. There are cameras that monitors the riders as well as workers posted in look-out booths along the route. I would do this ride and not the "sled ride" that had the concrete pad. This ride is very smooth. I rode it full speed with my braking handles fully released so that it would roll as fast as possible and it was so much fun.

The wait was short but the explanation of how to control the sled was shorter. No problem. You can ride the whole ride without the brake. I don't recommend that. You will be thrown around and beat up a little bit if you do that. If you get too close to the sled in front of you, the sled will brake automatically. That can ruin your experience if you have a scaredy-cat in front of you. Overall, lots of fun. Different. Too expensive.

I visited Ober Mountain in early January of this year and spent 2 days enjoyng activities…read more The first day consisted of participating in the fun pass, which gave us a list of activites we could do on the mountain like going to the zoo, ice skating, ice bumper cars, scenic lifts, etc. As an adult, the pass felt a little underwhelming but I can imagine a kid enjoying their time with this pass. I would recommend that you find a groupon/deal to get it at a cheaper rate rather than the usual $50/ticket they offer it for because I genuinely do not think it is worth the $50. I would definitely NOT recommend the fun pass for adults, but would for children (at the discounted price). Our second day on the mountain, we went snowboarding and that was a very fun time for my group and I. Ober has snow machines, so it is not real snow and instead is icy, artificial snow. I can imagine during the colder season, it may be softer and covered much more. I went in early January for reference. The employees are very nice with helping you strap in boots and understanding how to strap into board as well. I decided to do a lesson, which I would recommend for anyone who has not snowboarded before. Although I enjoyed my time, I do agree that it is fairly pricy, considering the size of the mountain compared to other resorts I have seen. I understand the weather determines which lifts are avaliable but the "snow" was ice, no where near snow texture. I think a day of snowboarding would cost roughly $150+ here for day pass and gear rental. My downsides for Ober are the price, the fun pass, and the snow.

One of the highlights was riding the Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway up and down the mountain--it was truly an experience in itself with amazing views. Once at the top, there was plenty to do. The kids loved the carousel and rode it multiple times every time we passed by. We also enjoyed the ice bumper cars, the wildlife habitat, and visiting Gatlinburg SkyLift Park. One of the most magical moments of the day was when it started snowing during our SkyLift ride--it was absolutely beautiful and something we won't forget. It was definitely very cold, but the scenery made it completely worth it. Unfortunately, the mountain coasters were closed due to the rain turning into snow, but there were still plenty of other activities to enjoy.

At the end of the session, when you return your tube, you get some marshmallows to roast in the fire pit. Loved this place and had so much fun!

When you reach the top the left side is the "easier" side up to the top and the right side is more stone stairs that is a shorter distance, but tougher climb. We took the left side going up and down. There are large rock areas along the way, which might make it difficult if you have mobility problems. Otherwise, it was a bit wet on the path in places, but it had rained a good bit of the day before. The whole path is a light incline the entire way up, but an easy decline on the way down. There are no sitting areas along the path when you reached the top there are two overlooked areas. The better view is the one all the way to the right there is a sign, noting the continental divide on either side of White side Mountain very cool. It was definitely worth the hike. It took us about 30 minutes to get to the top. I saw people with dogs and children a lot. It is a very family friendly activity.
