The Branson Coaster in Branson, MO

My 8 year old son LOVED this. Re rides are only $8.

It has 2 tracks for 1 price! You can go as fast or slow as you want, and it'sreally smooth, no neck jerking or spine jarring ride! 1 or 2 riders. Will definitely do again on next visit.

Everyone in our family, including kids aged 6-14, had a great time on the coaster. Even those of us that are not fond of coasters enjoyed this since we could control the speed. I wish the pictures taken during the ride weren't so pricey ($10 each adds up for a big family), but people can take their own pictures when you are leaving the beginning of the ride. The person selling tickets wasn't sure how to use our Reserve Branson voucher, but he figured it out after consulting with others. My only real complaint is that the ride is short, maybe a few minutes. The ride should be longer or the price should be more affordable, in my opinion. Rerides are cheaper, about $8 per person, and can be purchased the entire day after the initial ride.

The weather was quite chilly the day we arrived to ride the Coaster. However, after you board the Coaster car and your adrenaline starts pumping, the weather is the last thing on your mind. It is a GREAT ride with a lot of turns. Since you control the brakes, you can go as fast or as slow as you want. But don't go slow - brakes are for wimps! :) The only negative (but worth it), is due to the speed and quick direction changes, your shoulder blades may not like you the next day. Both my mother and I were very sore, but again worth every minute of it.

The Branson Coaster is incredibly smooth and suitable for children and persons who may not care much for typical roller coasters as you are in control of when you stop and go. The "sleds" are comfortable and safe without any jarring or shaking. I just wish the basic ticket price allowed you to go twice because it's a ride I would want to do again and again.
