Entry to Anakeesta is required to access mountain coaster.

Anakeesta’s new single-rail mountain coaster is the first of its kind in the United States! As a single-rail line, riders can ride lower to the ground on a single track creating a thrilling and unique experience as you race through the trees while flying down the mountain. It also allows you to control your own speed so if you prefer a slower pace you can do that too! The Anakeesta Rail Runner takes you on an exhilarating downhill ride with a 400 ft. elevation change and can hit speeds of 25 mph. The ride begins with 1,600 feet of downhill twists and turns and ends with a scenic uphill ride back to the top of Anakeesta Mountain. Our Rail Runner carts feature back and headrests for a comfortable and safe ride.

Zip through the treetops on Anakeesta’s Dueling Zipline Adventure. Stretching high over the forest floor, all three zips offer beautiful views of the Smokies while zipping side-by-side, right next to friends or family. Along the way, you’ll be able to test your courage at our two challenge stations where you’ll rappel off our platforms and enjoy a controlled descent to a cushioned platform below.
