Timber Ripper Mountain Coaster
Starting at
$13

The Timber Ripper Mountain Coaster is Central Vermont's favorite four-season attraction, offering a scenic and exhilarating ride through alpine forests and along the contours of the mountain at Okemo's Jackson Gore.

The roller coaster ride, manufactured by Wiegand, features maintenance-free stainless steel tubular rails for a smooth run down the mountain. Sled-like cars carry two passengers in comfort but can be handled easily by one alone. The riders are in control of the speed, and this gives them a unique hands-on experience, encouraging repeat visits.

Please Note: Products online must be purchased in advance, at least one day ahead. Please visit our ticket windows at Sunburst Six or Jackson Gore for all same-day purchases. The "window" rate will apply.
