Loved the cable ride. You can control your own speed. Going through the woods was beautiful. Sad it only lasts for 6 minutes.

Mar 11, 2026 · Google ReviewThe first time, I stopped by with my bf and we had a wonderful time snow tubing. Then we came back and tried the smal roller coaster and it was amazing, super fun! We didn't expected to have such a great time there, but it exceed our expectations. If you have the chance, don't miss it!
