The Grand Exposition Coaster is a steel roller coaster located at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri that opened in April 2006. It is believed to be a replacement of Runaway Ore Cart. The Grand Exposition Coaster was built by Zamperla of Italy as part of a new area of the park dubbed "The Grand Exposition". The ride consists of little more than a small drop and upwards helix, traversed by the train three times for each ride cycle.

Experience

[edit]

Guests go through a short walkway, takes a left turn and into the station. The ride immediately starts with a small incline. After the crest, riders go through the small drop into the helix. Riders then make a right-hand U-turn into the station. Due to the small layout, the ride goes 3 laps per cycle.
