Before you need to put on chains or snow tires for the ski season at Lake Tahoe, you need to check out this roller coaster down a mountain with incredible views of the lake.
Heavenly's Ridge Rider Mountain Coaster is where it's at for an adrenaline rush and fresh air. You take a scenic gondola ride up the mountain, and then coast down through the forest and natural rock formations on a coaster that seats up to two people.
Drivers have to be at least 16 years of age and between 54-84" tall. Everyone participating also needs to wear athletic shoes in order to ride the coaster.
A gondola & Ridge Rider ride costs $85 for one adult ride, $73 for one senior/teen ride, and $58 for one child ride. Heavenly also offers another activity bundle that includes one adult ride for the coaster, tubing, and gondola.
