America’s Longest Mountain Roller Coaster, Which Takes You Down a 7,000-Foot Track, Is Open for Fall in New York
The longest mountain roller coaster in the U.S. is open for fall fun in Lake Placid, Upstate New York. Also known as the “Cliffside Coaster,” the ride, which first opened in 2020, is located on Mt. Van Hoevenberg, a cross-country ski, snowshoe, biathlon, and mountain biking center with over 30 miles of terrain. The complex was created following the 1980 Winter Olympics, and the coaster follows the alignment of the bobsled track used in both the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics.
