Each cart is capable of holding up to two people so younger children can also enjoy this unforgettable experience. Cart riders must be at least 38” tall and be 3 years of age or older and cart drivers must be at least 54” tall. If two people are riding together, the driver must be at least 16 years old and the taller person should drive.The maximum weight per cart is 375 pounds in dry conditions and 330 pounds in wet conditions. 

Bags and purses are not allowed on the coaster so be sure to lock away any loose items prior to getting in line to ride. Lockers are available onsite for convenience. Once your belongings have been secured, head to the loading ramp and get ready to load into your cart.

Employees are helpful and will guide you through the loading process and ensure that you are properly buckled in. Once in your cart, sit back and enjoy the ride to the top. The ride down the hillside is a thrill and the hand brake gives you full control to coast at your desired speed. If you want to elevate your adventure you can take a ride at night. Georgia Mountain Coaster is an activity that the whole family will enjoy and there’s still so much to see and do in downtown Helen after you’ve taken your thrilling ride through nature!
