Panorama opens new mountain coaster
Resort invests $3 million into new summer attractions
Panorama Mountain Resort welcomes riders onto the brand new Wild Rider Mountain Coaster today, as the popular family destination opens the first of two exciting new attractions launching this summer.
With wild twists and turns, and spectacular mountain views throughout the one km track, the mountain coaster is set to be a must-do attraction for thrill-seekers and families alike.
Designed, produced and installed by Austrian-based experts SunKid GmbH, the mountain coaster operates on a custom-built monorail system.
Visitors will ride the Discovery Quad chairlift to the start of the coaster. Winding through the forest and picturesque mountain landscape, riders will descend 166 vertical metres at speeds of up to 40 km/h on a journey with twists, turns and drops before returning to the village.
“We are incredibly excited to introduce our new mountain coaster to our guests,” said Steve Paccagnan, President & CEO of Panorama Mountain Resort. “It is an unforgettable ride! With our spectacular mountain backdrop, the coaster brings an exhilarating family-friendly experience to visitors looking for a unique way to enjoy the outdoors.”
The second of Panorama’s new summer attractions is scheduled to open soon. Featuring four levels of fun, the Timberline Traverse Aerial Ropes Tower stands 60 ft high and offers visitors the chance to test their skills across 50 obstacles and challenges suspended in mid-air.
“It’s about embracing the spirit of adventure. Both these attractions are compelling additions to our resort’s summer offerings and continue to enhance our mountain adventure park with activities from kids camps to the coaster, a high-flying ropes course, lift-accessed biking and so much more,” said Paccagnan.
The two attractions are a $3 million investment into Panorama’s program of attractions and continue the resort’s commitment to enhancing the visitor experience with over $32 million in capital investments in recent years.
Panorama’s summer season runs from mid-May (weather permitting) to the start of September.
