Coming Spring, 2027, Hocking Hills is getting its most exciting new adventure in recent memory. Welcome, the Hocking Hills Mountain Coaster. Touted as a family friendly excursion, this Ohio first is bound to draw crowds from near and far. Here’s what we know about Hocking Hills Mountain Coaster right now.

What We Know About the Hocking Hills Mountain Coaster

While additional details are expected to be released soon, several exciting features have already been announced.

The Hocking Hills Mountain Coaster will feature approximately 3,640 feet of track winding through a 55 acre parcel of land featuring the natural landscape of the region. While on the coaster, guests can expect to reach speeds of up to 26 miles per hour while enjoying a ride lasting approximately five to six minutes. The Hocking Hills Mountain Coaster is located off State Route 93 South on Ilesboro Rd.

Plans for the development also include a gift shop and additional family-friendly attractions, creating an experience that extends beyond the coaster itself.

The attraction is currently expected to open in Spring 2027.

What Families Can Expect

One of the reasons mountain coasters have become so popular across the country is their broad appeal and excitement.

Unlike many attractions that target a specific age group, mountain coasters offer an experience that can be enjoyed by a wide variety of visitors. Because riders control their own speed, each ride can be customized to match individual comfort levels.

Some guests may choose to enjoy a leisurely ride through the forest while taking in the scenery. Others may enjoy a faster-paced ride as they navigate the twists and turns of the track.

Make the Most of Your Hocking Hills Getaway

While the mountain coaster will undoubtedly become one of the area’s most exciting attractions, it is only one part of the Hocking Hills experience.

Visitors can spend their days exploring iconic destinations such as Old Man’s Cave, Cedar Falls, Ash Cave, and Conkle’s Hollow. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking, canoeing, kayaking, ziplining, and other adventures throughout the area.

For those looking to relax, local wineries, restaurants, breweries, unique shops, and nature-filled getaways provide the perfect opportunity to unwind and enjoy the beauty of The Hocking Hills.

The addition of the mountain coaster makes a weekend getaway even more appealing. Imagine spending the morning hiking a scenic trail, enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, riding Ohio’s first mountain coaster in the afternoon, and finishing the day around a campfire roasting marshmallows at your cabin.

That’s the kind of experience that keeps visitors returning to Hocking Hills year after year.

As construction progresses and more details become available, we’ll continue to share updates right here on HockingHills.com.

Until then, there has never been a better time to start planning your next Hocking Hills adventure and discover everything that makes this region one of Ohio’s most unforgettable destinations.
