Guess what, North Carolina?!! Our second alpine coaster just opened a couple months ago and we couldn’t be happier to have two mountain coasters in North Carolina to whirl us through the mountainside. Let’s check the new one out:

The Scaly Screamer Mountain Coaster opened in late September 2021 at Scaly Mountain - also known as Highlands Outpost in Scaly Mountain (map below).

Scaly Mountain Screamer boasts of being the longest mountain coaster in the state and it includes some thrilling 360-degree turns that just may make a chill run up your spine.
