Mustang Mountain Coaster

Great fun even in the winter! Wonderful views. They have doubles and singles with a weight limit of 330lbs on doubles. There is a braking system so you can go as fast or as slow as you want (but it's much more fun to go fast!).

Run, don't walk, to Mustang Mountain. We bought the 3 ride pass for each adult and our kids rode with us. It was so fun! Staff is friendly, patient and welcoming. The coaster goes fast but it's easy to control if super speed isn't your vibe. My son wanted "all gas, no brake" so that's what we did as you can see in his "I made a mistake" face. We bought tickets in advance but it was easy to add-on. We went on a Friday and there was no wait.

It was fun, but a little pricey for the short ride experience. The views from the coaster were great! The ride was fairly exciting. Kids will love it. I wouldn't say it is worth going out of your way to go there, but if you're in the area and looking for something different to do, give it a whirl.

Had fun, but my oldest son got stuck behind a parent/child riding together. They wouldn't let him go again either, just said "sorry". He got completely stopped in the middle of the track and had to coast slowly down the entire track (boring). Pretty disappointing since we spent over $180 there. Thankfully we bought the 3 pack ride, so he got to experience it twice. Wish they had dealt with that better. Just be prepared to be stuck behind little kids or parents with kids and have it be more like sight-seeing than a thrill ride. I do not recommend it for anyone over the age of 8 for the reason they'd be extremely disappointed if they had to crawl down the track the entire time following a slow rider.

This is a fun activity but the experience is limited by the crowds, lines and parking. First, the ride is fun. You as the rider control to some extent how fast or slow your pod goes. You can slow your speed with a brake or let gravity take over by releasing the brake. The ride is on a single tract (no passing!) and a lot like a roller coaster. Because at least one of the pods in front of you is likely going slower than you, you can't really go as fast as you want. The poor logistics and silly high cost are the reason for four stars. $25 for a single ride seems steep to me. There is not enough parking. So on arrival there is a good chance they will instruct you to follow a shuttle half a mile or so to a different destination to park. Then the shuttle takes you back to the ride site. That is a 15 minute or more ordeal. Once there, the lines aren't well marked. There is a line to get back on a shuttle. One to get tickets. A third to get on the ride. It wasn't obvious which was which to a first time visitor. Further, if you get a pass from a local resort the process is even more confusing. We spent at least 30 minutes in a line before getting on the ride. Then had to get in a line to get on a shuttle to take us back to our car. The biggest positive about the ride is the views. Do not assume you will be able to ride it like a roller coaster for the most part for the previously stated reasons. So go in expecting to go mostly slow and take in the view. The views are nice. Kids will likely want to do it multiple times. Most adults will be good with one ride. Shorter kids must ride with an adult, though. Each pod can fit one to two people. Consider this before purchasing tickets. They have a multi-ride pass for $40. I think it is worth doing but I would try to go at a time that isn't busy and see if the place you are staying has free or reduced cost passes.

Had an amazing time at the Mustang Mountain Coaster! The views of the surrounding mountains were absolutely stunning, and the ride itself was way more fun than I expected. You control your own speed, which is great for families or first-timers, but it also means you can go fast if you're feeling adventurous. The staff were super friendly and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. Definitely a unique Colorado experience — fun, scenic, and something I’d recommend to anyone visiting the Estes Park area. We even rode it twice because one trip wasn’t enough!

We arrived on Monday to Estes Park. We had to wait for our Hotel room so we had a few minutes to kill. I found this place that was 2miles away. I rushed my husband to drive before they closed at 4pm. Although it was only about 5 minutes ride, it was so much fun and enjoyed the view. Highly recommend.

The views were spectacular. The ride was eh. 2.5 minutes of the ride were spent on the climb. The "fun" part was less than 1.5 minutes. Definitely not worth $25.
