Moonshine Mountain Coaster Live Camera – Gatlinburg

This live camera shows the Moonshine Mountain Coaster in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, one of the town's popular family attractions at the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Mountain coasters are a cross between a roller coaster and an alpine slide: riders sit in individual carts that run on rails through the forest, controlling their own speed with hand brakes as they twist and drop down the mountainside. Gatlinburg has become a hub for these rides, alongside attractions such as the SkyBridge, the aquarium and the Space Needle observation tower.

What you'll see

• Riders heading down the track
• Forested hillsides around Gatlinburg
• Visitors queueing and enjoying the attraction

The name nods to the region's moonshine heritage, as the Smoky Mountains have a long history of homemade whiskey, now celebrated by legal distilleries on the Parkway. The coaster runs in most weather, and summer, autumn foliage season and holidays are the busiest times. Evening rides through the trees are especially fun. The stream is provided by Moonshine Mountain Coaster.
