Let the wind rush through your hair as you wind around the hills of Mercer County, West Virginia, on the state’s first-ever mountain coaster. The Brush Creek Holl’r Mountain Coaster is officially open!
Located at Brushcreek Falls RV Resort, just a short drive from the Princeton exit, this one-of-a-kind attraction is the first and only mountain coaster in West Virginia and can even be spotted from I-77.
What To Expect
This gravity-driven ride curves through scenic hills, offering front-row views of forested slopes and mountain landscapes.
The journey begins at the station building, where riders are seated in a cart, buckled in and given a safety check. From there, the carts climb 700 feet straight up the mountain before a small drop to the left kicks off more than 2,500 feet of thrilling track, lined with hairpin curves and exciting 360-degree turns.
Riders can reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour while twisting and turning along the track, but the pace is entirely customizable. With a hand-operated brake system, rides can range from a slow, scenic descent to a fast-paced, adrenaline-filled run.
Designed for both thrill-seekers and families, the mountain coaster delivers a memorable experience for all ages. Spanning approximately 3,200 feet, the coaster incorporates a coal mine theme that honors the region’s heritage.
