Racing down the mountain on this incredible ride will give you a new appreciation for the beauty of the Adirondacks, and it’s the perfect destination to kick off a new season of outdoor adventures.

The longest mountain coaster in the United States officially opened in 2020, in the heart of the Adirondacks. With warmer temperatures on their way to upstate New York, now's the time to plan a trip to see what all the hype is about.

Lake Placid, which famously played host to the 1980 winter Olympics, is now also the location of the longest mountain coaster in the United States. The coaster runs 1.4 miles and overlooks these stunning Adirondack landscapes.

The coaster was designed according to the alignment of the Olympic Bobsled track during the 1980 Olympics. Riders can also control their own speed as they go down the track and soak in the scenery.
