Description

The Runaway Branson Mountain Coaster is the first & longest alpine mountain coaster in Branson and the Ozarks.

This Alpine coaster is one of the most talked-about thrill rides in town with a 5-star rating on TripAdvisor and numerous Best of Branson accolades! It is also the foundation of the area’s newest outdoor attraction park, the Branson Mountain Adventure Park. Mountain coasters are a relatively new attraction in America and we’re pleased to bring one of the best to the heart of the Midwest.

Our Branson Mountain Coaster features more family-friendly thrills in town – more dips, more turns, more zigs and zags, and more ups and downs. A true American-made experience, the Branson Mountain Coaster races down the Ozark hillside weaving in and around trees, through nature, and soars high over a creek leaving you breathless and ready to Runaway again!

This was fun experience! We had intended to go to Copperhead Coaster but it was having issues and late opening and we were on a time schedule so drove the 15 minutes to Runaway. There were 4 in our group ages 66-78. The tickets were $20.00 each for solo rider. There are many coupons available so you can save a couple bucks. Take the sign that says ' if you like don't bring it on the ride' literally as my husband's ball cap flew off. oops. The ride does joggle you back and forth quite a bit so be prepared to be a bit 'sore' but its short lived. Yes we would all do it again!

"Best ride of the trip!"

We chose to do the Runaway Coaster at 935 State Highway 165 in Branson, Missouri. We purchased tickets ahead of time through AAA and then purchased “rider only” tickets once we got there. This was an amazing experience for the family as a whole. The option of controlling the speed of the car takes away the terror but leaves in the thrill for everyone because it can be adjusted to each person‘s comfort level. All of the employees were helpful and friendly. Once we had completed the ride all ages, from 6 yrs to 72 yrs, wanted to repeat it several times! It was truly the only Branson ecperience with which everyone was EQUALLY thrilled. Thank you for offering such a safe and empowering experience. (This was the first roller coaster ride FOR THE KIDS …. it was a perfect introduction to the exciting roller coaster experience!) Recommended for families of all ages.

We LOVED this coaster and we have ridden several different ones. It is super fast! There was a bump in the rail that made you feel like you were going to fly off but it just added to the excitement!

This was so much fun! Six of us ages ranging from 9 - 63 flew down hills, around curves through beautiful ocean scenery! I never touched the brakes and it was exhilarating! I've ridden all three in Branson and this one is THE BEST!
