The only single-rail mountain coaster in the United States!
Rail Runner
Rail Runner Mountain Coaster
Anakeesta’s Rail Runner Smoky Mountain coaster in Gatlinburg is the first of its kind in the United States! Fly down the mountain on this single rail track with 1,600 feet of downhill twists and turns at speeds up to 25 mph! Race through the trees at your own speed with a 400 feet elevation change! This exhilarating ride offers a thrill at every turn before enjoying a scenic uphill ride to the top of Anakeesta Mountain. We offer solo and tandem rides for guests with small children. By purchasing a Coaster Pass, you have the freedom to choose your own adventure – ride both the Rail Runner and the Hellbender once or choose your favorite Mountain Coaster twice! Review Rider Requirements before purchasing tickets.
*Please note that individual tickets for the coasters are not available so the Coaster Pass is your exclusive ticket to ride. By purchasing your ticket to the Hellbender or Rail Runner mountain coasters you accept the conditions of use and ride at your own risk. All claims for compensation are excluded.
Add-On Coaster Pass: $16.99
