Thrill seekers have a new reason to visit Massanutten Resort. The Shenandoah Valley attraction has launched Mountain Mayhem, Virginia’s first alpine coaster.
Mountain Mayhem riders will head downhill on more than 2,000 feet of track that features two, 360-degree spirals. Each run lasts about six minutes, and the speed is fully customizable. Riders can reach speeds of up to 25 miles per hour or choose to go at a more leisurely pace.
Mountain Mayhem offers both single and double rider options. For safety purposes, the combined weight for double riders cannot exceed 350 pounds and single riders must be at least 13 years old. The minimum age to ride with an adult is 4 years old.
“We’re excited to welcome members of our local community, as well as resort guests, to experience the all-new Mountain Mayhem, which truly is a cutting-edge addition to the roster of attractions available at the Family Adventure Park,” Kameron Tucker, mountain sports director at Massanutten Resort, said in a release. “This ride has been under development for quite some time, and we are proud to offer yet another way for those who visit us at Massanutten to enjoy a fun, memorable experience.”
Massanutten’s Family Adventure Park also features ziplining, rappelling, climbing, summer and winter tubing, and gem mining. It’s open Friday through Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The resort has also added a new hotel and expanded indoor water park, called ShenandoaH2O. The hotel is scheduled to open in October, and the water park is expected to open early 2027. 1822 Resort Dr., Massanutten
