- Joe CBirmingham, United Kingdom1,247 contributionsPretty goodThis was our first mountain coaster, and it didn’t disappoint! We opted for a two-seat coaster, which was fun – and the entire course lasted around 6-7mins which we thought was great value. Unlike other coasters in Branson, this takes you deep into the Ozarks, with amazing views along the way. We really loved this, and would highly recommend for all ages, young and old – what a great way to ride through the Ozarks!We're thrilled to hear that the Branson Coaster didn't disappoint and that you would highly recommend it for all ages. Thank you for sharing your positive experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more mountain coaster fun in the future!Written November 22, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 21, 2023

The workers both inside and outside were polite and professional and went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time. Three individuals stood out to us. Christian, Trenton and I believe Eric was the name of the third. We will always come back. Especially after the amazing service we were provided this past time!!Colton, we're thrilled to hear that you had an A+ experience at The Branson Coaster during your yearly trip to Branson.

The manager at the coaster talked to the third party to tell them the issues and comped our tickets even though they weren't responsible for the issues that we had with our third party tickets. Such nice people and we really appreciate their kindnessCandy, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review!

- mrsaab93Shawnee, Kansas54 contributionsCoaster on the Branson StripMy 14 yr old daughter went on this coaster off the Branson strip. So fun! The entire facility is clean and the people are nice and want you to have a good time. You can buy a single ride or a 3 pack of rides. Looking back, I wish we did the 3 pack as the line of people was short and the ride was a blast. Need to be 56” (I think) to ride alone. You have full control of how fast or slow you want to go. You will need to complete a waiver before going. You will go on 2 courses on the same ride. Great times and we recommend!!We are so happy to hear you and your daughter had a good time! We appreciate you guys and love to hear how amazing our wonderful staff is doing. We hope to see you again!Written March 12, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 11, 2024
- Meco M3 contributionsSOOO much fun!!This was sooooo awesome!!! I am not really a thrill-seeking person, but I had sooo much fun. I really hate that the ride was so short...that would be why I would give it a 4-star. But we got to ride twice because they missed our photo. Check-in process was smooth and the line was not long (but we came during spring break...so I am not sure if that will change during the peak season). But overall good experience. And you can get some awesome discounts on Groupon.thank you for taking the time to give us a review! It could always be longer with a 3-pack lol...Written June 14, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 21, 2024

Our whole family had a blast! Would recommend purchasing a pass or multiple rides - the first one is pricey, but multiple rides get a discount and you’ll definitely want to ride at least twice. Line was pretty short when we visited (maybe 20 minutes). Not much to operating the cart and it’s nice to be able to control the speed. The staff gives really good instructions too. Worth a visit for sure!

Wonderful experience! My husband took both of our girls on a ride. It was 95 degrees today, so I waited in the store area with the child not riding at that particular time. The gentlemen(from England) working in the store was so pleasant. It’s hard to find employees who really care about their job and the reputation of the company. If I were the owner, I’d do whatever was needed to keep this friendly face onboard. He made us feel welcome, took an interest in my kids, and spoke to every single rider who came through the doors. Even after the printer malfunctioned, he smiled and maintained professionalism. We come to Branson multiple times a year, and will be back! Worth the price for the experience and top-notch staff!

Having been on many coasters like this. This while at points fast, is NOT worth the $17+ price point charged to ride. It is two very short tracks divided by a uphill pull then off to another short track. I did not time the ride but spent what seemed as more time being pulled than going down. A true DISAPPOINTMENT for sure. Don't waste time or money on this experience.

The best Branson coaster! My daughter has done several different ones down here and states this is the best. Sunday evening, busy but not crazy. Purchase 3 rides but after one ride there was lightning with 5 miles so they had to close without know when or if they would reopen today. We completely understand and appreciate this rule. They stated they run during rain but can not operate during lightning/storms. They did provide us with a refund. Staff was very friendly!! Daughter stated this coaster is longer and better than the others she road. Grounds are nice. There is parking behind. Only draw back is once you finish a ride you must get back in line. I wish the paid 3 pack riders could remain on until all rides are done. She would have got to do all 3 rides before the weather. Nice seating area for those watching. Did not use the restroom and it was very busy. Again, great experience and service.

My fiancé and I were visiting Branson and decided to stop at the The Branson Coaster. It had been raining off and on all day, but we waited until the rain stopped in the evening and were not disappointed. From the very friendly and welcoming cashiers (Haven and Matthew), to the helpful and enthusiastic ride operator (Haley) we felt very taken care of. They even overheard us mention how we were recently engaged and offered us a free picture from our ride. We will definitely be coming back on our next trip to Branson!

Scared of coasters. Young man named Ethan talked me into riding it. He said this coaster is different. He was right. This was like a very very fast go cart where you could slow or brake if desired. I loved it and didn't even have to brake once. If you are afraid of roller coasters. The Branson Coaster is the one for you. My husband (who isn't afraid but rather LOVES roller coasters loved it also. You need to make this a stop on your trip whether just a couple or have children, it won't disappoint.

Coaster is fun, but wish it was longer. It had two tracks that you go on as part of your ride. After you finish one it takes you back up and you go on the second as part of the same ride. Just so much fun you want more. I'm a large lady, and the coaster allowed me to ride with weight to spare. You have brakes that allow you to slow down or speed up based on your preferences. Fun!

This was our first mountain coaster, and it didn’t disappoint! We opted for a two-seat coaster, which was fun – and the entire course lasted around 6-7mins which we thought was great value. Unlike other coasters in Branson, this takes you deep into the Ozarks, with amazing views along the way. We really loved this, and would highly recommend for all ages, young and old – what a great way to ride through the Ozarks!

Just went tonight with three kids ages 8-10 and had a blast! We went for a night ride which I recommend because the lights and thrill of it at night were great! Staff was friendly, one female employee even noticed a young passenger was cold and lent her her own jacket for the ride!
Also, at 10.99-15.99 per ride (Coaster) one of the cheaper attractions on the strip. Would definitely recommend. Heck I might go again before we leave.

Do we need to buy park admission tickets on top of the price of the coaster? Also is the groupon accepted?
Written February 3, 2018
No, the Coaster is a stand-alone attraction. It is not part of a larger theme park and there is not an admission charge separate from the ride ticket.
