MCHENRY, MARYLAND –
Wisp Resort has the only Mountain Coaster in the entire mid-Atlantic, riders finish their 1,200 foot assent, then only one thing matters, gravity. It takes over, and off you go.
“Oh my gosh I almost had the heart attack, it was so much fun. Everyone should do it,” said Tammy Cole, a first time rider from Louisiana.
The Mountain coaster races you down 3,500 feet of track, making a 350 foot drop in elevation.
Through twists and turns, helixes and hills, the coaster maxes out at 29 miles-per-hour.
