OMG! The part at 7:25 in the video... when the camera appears to leave the front and hover above you. Ummm... how is that even possible? **Mind Blown**
Hey, I’m from Colorado and grew up on Alpine slides in Colorado too. I’ve also been on the mountain coaster up in Vail. Now I live in the south, I can’t wait to try this one in Gatlinburg.
I loved how the bus stopped so you could get a good look at the bear! That was a lovely touch on the way to ride Anakeesta's Hellbender Mountain Coaster.
@@JK-g62Black bears typically don't bother humans unless they are provoked or feel threatened. I've been within 50 feet of a black bear, as were at least a dozen other people, and he was just chillin' in a tree. He didn't care about our presence at all. I imagine it would be very different with a grizzly or polar bear, but black bears are pretty relaxed with humans. 🙂
Hi, we're from Scotland and came over to the smoky mountain area a few weeks ago. We love your videos, and you've showed us some great places and fun things to do. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to do many of the things we wanted to. But we still done a lot! We've been to the States many, many times but our first trip to pigeon forge and area. SO.....we're coming back next year! Yay! We were disappointed we never seen you doing your blogs - you seem to be everywhere! Perhaps next time! We would love to go on the ANAKEESTA HELLBENDER MOUNTAIN COASTER! 🏴🇺🇸
I was part of the building crew that built this coaster and the bird venture which they are still doing maintenance on they are planning on removing the slides already because someone got hurt on them and it's too dangerous for kids it was a fun experience building on the park
Thanks for the great video of the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster. Last week, my husband and I took the chairlift. We saw 2 cubs in a tree on the way up and 2 larger bears near the construction dumpster!
This ride would be really awesome and somewhat spooky at night. The views on this ride are absolutely incredible. The beautiful woods that you ride throughout the coaster is amazing. This is more of a scenic ride than a 🎢🎢rollercoaster🎢🎢, but that's not taking anything away from this ride. The views are worth it 1000%!
Anakeesta is such a beautiful addition to Gatlinburg. Our last visit was just a few weeks ago and it was a glorious, sunny day. I love seeing the bears mingling around through all the excitement. We missed that. Thank you for taking us along on your visit.
Anakeestas Hellbender Mountain Coaster. I’ve been loving all your videos. Oct 2024 will be our first time going to Gatlinburg ,Pigeon Forge. So excited! We would love to see a bear in the wild. We are from Oregon.
Now that looks like FUN! I like that the “Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster” goes downhill all the way down without short down then back up like the other coasters and two rides for $16.99 is a pretty good deal! Thanks for the great content!
anakeesta hellbender mountain coaster! looks so much FUN! we go to TN every year and i always look forward to all of the coasters! gatlinburg NEVER disappoints me.
Oh wow now that looks nice, thank you for showing new things , making a list for next year and the trees looks gorgeous and seeing the bears i love it, thanks for showing "Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster" God Bless
I know my hubby would love this!He has ridden 2 others right nearby there. Him and I could ride Anakeesta Hellbender mountain coaster while our daughter looks at all the shops lol. I’ll leave the bear spotting to being inside our moving vehicle 😂.
Your video on the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster is fantastic. Looking forward to riding it in June. Hoping it is a little less rough than the Rail Runner. Thanks.
Those Bears love Annekesta. Last time I was there Momma was trying to bring her cub's up to Annekesta. Love that they got a coaster now. Great video Ryan.
Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster Excited to ride this one next time we go~Gatlinburg/PF is our home away from home💜thank you for sharing this and your sweet family’s adventures
I am going to Anakeesta next week. This looks like a must do! So much fun! I will actually be within walking distance to the entrance! Thank you for sharing this ride! Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster is a must do! I hope I see a black bear (but have seen many before). But I hope I get to ride this!
We can’t wait to see Anakeesta! Hannah cracks me up! ‘Full speed……come on Lady!” But I am team black bear. I’ll leave Jim to ride Anakeesta’s Hellbender Mountain Coaster!! Thanks
This week is our 45th anniversary, we stayed in Gatlinburg and it was beautiful!! There was very little going on in Pigeon Forge though.. my how times have changed.
Thanks FFA...Soli Deo gloria! We hope this video helps other families better know what the Hellbender Mountain Coaster at Anakeesta is like! I know for some people having a clear visual helps them not be as nervous about trying something new!
Last time I was there which was not long ago. Me and my daughter was taking the lofty up and bear walked right under us about ten feet from our feet ..pretty cool to able to see one that close and not have to worry about getting mauled.
Annakeesta hellbender MTN coaster......looks like a great curvy coaster. First I would love to see the bears, 2nd then do the coaster! Was so cool seeing them around the construction equipment up top!
Going on thanksgiving ❤ would love to try this. Taking my son for the 1st time since his granddaddy's early departure from us 😢RIP DADDY/Grandaddy- this was a special place he took his BFF (my son). We haven't been since he passed away. Thanksgiving won't be the same as our family is now broken. Sooo since there's no Turkey dinner for us, I decided to remember my dad by taking my son up there. We are watching your videos to find things to do. This is my 1st time hosting our very small fam trip. Nervous but hopeful. Money is tight but it's the thought that counts. Anakeesta mountain hellbender Coaster 🎉🎉his death . He was 53 years young! Rip Sam c Smithson Could use Some happy memories this time around. To answer the question: I'd love to see bears plus ride the coaster!! 🎉❤🎉❤
What a beautiful view! Over the summer, my family spotted 3 black bears at a cabin we were staying at in Gatlinburg!!! My girls would love to ride Anakeesta’s Hellbender Mountain Coaster!! Thanks for sharing!!!
My husband and I are going back to Gatlinburg in December for our anniversary. Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster looks like a blast! We’ll definitely have to try it!
We went to the Smokies in 2021 and visited Anakeesta. We took the chair lift up and on the way back down we took the truck. Good thing we did because the chair stopped working. It was down for a long time, people were stuck on it.
If you watch any of our Anakeesta videos you would notice we always take the rambler (truck). People love the chairlift, but we like to be able to simply walk of the truck if it ever broke down for a period of time!
I hope to ride the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster some day. Maybe next time I am there. I have never been to Anakeesta yet. I loved seeing tbe bears and the view from up there was incredible! Absolutely beautiful! What a great adventure!! There are alotbof adventures out there and alot more adventures to be had.
Thanks for showing awesome places like this. I'm from Western Australia and on my last holiday to America I wasted SO MUCH money at places like Disney World. I'd MUCH RATHER spend my time and money at lovely smaller places like this.
Our pleasure! We would love to visit Australia some day, I would definitely quote crcodile dundee many times if we did and try to find 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney!
Omg Adventure family…I can’t wait to ride the “Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster” in the fall time! I will be going there for my birthday next month and I AM STOKED! You guys are amazing. Thank you so much!
Anakeesta looks like a lovely amusement park. Loved that mother and daughter interaction. So sweet. Don’t ever stop loving each other! Hope to maybe someday. See you at my second home, Disneyland. 😄 - The Disneyland Neighbor
We began visiting Gatlinburg in 1989 and continued going regularly for the next 25 years. Our last visit was in 2021 and prices for everything are past ridiculous now. What was a affordable vacation for working class people has become no different cost wise, than a trip to Disney World.
Well, if I want to ride the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster, it had better be a dry day, haha! Thanks, Ryan and family! It was so fun to hear everyone get so excited about the bear.
Anakeesta hellbrender mountain coaster! I'm really looking forward to a trip in April to the Gatlinburg area that I'm planning with a friend. Your videos have been great in helping decided on which activities we want to do, thank you!!
Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster looks like so much fun. Congrats on 70k and I'm sure your channel will continue to grow fast. Your coverage is very thorough. We plan to visit again in December and thanks to your family, a few new adventures are on our itinerary.
We were there last week. Hellbender was down for 3 hours, so went on the other one twice. We did see a bear in the dumpster down below Hellbender though!! Very exciting!!
Ryan has come a long way from being afraid of coasters to going full speed down the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster! Proud of you man and I hope I get to ride soon! ❤
I still have struggles feeling trapped, I tried riding the gondola on the way up to Anakeesta last time and realized I do better with the open vehicle. God is good, I am thankful for getting better!
@@AdventureIsOutThere I totally understand that feeling. Cleithrophobia is the scientific name for the fear of being trapped and it used to be quite the hurdle for me riding coasters etc too. Keep up the great videos 👍
Great video. I was told by the staff there that you cannot ride a vehicle to the top of the mountain. I was told that you can only use the sky lift to get up there. My family didn't go because my Mom is older and she didn't want to ride the sky lift. But the coaster looks fun. I have never done one of those. "Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster"
Thanks Brent! I wonder if you are confusing Anakeesta with SkyLift Park down the road. They have no vehicle that takes you to the top. Or I wonder if the question that was asked was "Can I take my own vehicle" which you can't do at either location.
@@AdventureIsOutThere Isn't there a sky lift that takes you to the top of Anakeesta? When my family went to check it out. The staff at Anakeesta told my family that the only way to get to the top is by riding the sky lift. In your video, you were able to ride to the top. They told us you could not ride to the top. You had to ride the sky lift.
Was asking this too. There's no selfie stick or helmet cam, and I'm pretty sure a drone couldn't keep up. The angle changes from side view to 1st person at the beginning. What am I missing?
Neat never been on one of these and the scenery is spectacular. Back in the day we had something that was sort of the ancestor of this, it was this fiberglass track you rode down the face of a ski slope on, riding this little wheeled sled. You could slow it down by retracting the wheels or raising them to speed up. The track basically a shallow culvert kind of thing, it was very easy to fly up and over the side of it or flip over. It was really rocky and there weren't hay bales netting. The ride was called the alpine slide, the park was called Action Park, nicknamed traction park bc of all the injuries ( there is a documentary about it in you tube i think the guy running it was quite the con man). Today the park is called mountain creek and is totally different,the alpine slide and other dangerous attractions were removed decades ago.
We will definitely have to try the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster the next time we are in town. We tried The Lost Mine last week and it was alot of fun!
Next time I'm in Tennessee I may check this out. When I went through Tennessee with my son a few years ago we rode the mountain coaster in Pidgeon Forge and it was a very interesting experience. ;)
"ANAKEESTA HELLBENDER MOUNTAIN COASTER" appears quite thrilling! I'm certainly looking forward to Nature viewing hopefully including bears (from a reasonable distance), "coaster" looks great fun of its own however. Appreciate the content & Opportunity!
Watching these kinds of rides make me think of when I played WoW and the flight paths that sometimes zipped through the trees. Seeing bears would be cool but I'd be afraid one would charge toward the tram. Or are they so used to people that they don't feel threatened? Great video and thank you for including information signs!
Remember!!!! DO NOT ENGAGE THE BEARS! Do not feed them!!!! Bears have been euthanized because of people approaching and feeding them! I lived in Pigeon Forge for five years and was amazed at how many people tried to get close and were even feeding them! They are completely wild even though they will approach you. Also, LOCK YOUR VEHICLE DOORS! These bears are VERY smart and will open car doors looking for food.
Looks fun - can’t wait to try the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster during my next trip to Gatlinburg… but honestly, I’d be more excited for the bears, since we didn’t see many during our last two trips down there!
We will be going up to pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg this Thanksgiving. Would love to try it out when we’re up there. Thanks for the great content. Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster
ANAKEESTA Hellbender Mountain Coaster. : ) We love your videos and have used your info for two trips. :) Coming back week of Christmas to stay at Dollywood Resort!
Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster. This ride looked awesome! And that’s a hard choice picking between the coaster and seeing a bear…I would say the coaster and my hubby would say the bear! 🤣 can’t wait to ride it over Christmas!!
That looked like a lot of fun. Was there two mountain coasters up there? You mentioned you could ride rail runner and then ride the hellbender. ANAKEESTA HELLBENDER MOUNTAIN COASTER. GREAT JOB. 👏👏👏
I was there back in April and I did purchase a ticket for the coaster but it got rained out and I never got to ride. So it would be nice to ride the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster. Looks fun I wonder how bouncy it is.
how did you get that shot on the coaster where it appeared no one was holding the camera, neither one of you were holding it, I see the selfie-stick in the shadow but there were only two of you on the coaster. Some great magic there!!!!!!
The mother and daughter on that coaster together was the greatest moment. I subscribed because of their cool relationship. Fun...
OMG! The part at 7:25 in the video... when the camera appears to leave the front and hover above you. Ummm... how is that even possible? **Mind Blown**
It's a selfie stick... Some are programed to edit out the actual stick part...
Anakeesta hell bender!!! OMG! I grew up riding Alpine slides… this looks sooooo fun! Aloha from Colorado!
Hey, I’m from Colorado and grew up on Alpine slides in Colorado too. I’ve also been on the mountain coaster up in Vail. Now I live in the south, I can’t wait to try this one in Gatlinburg.
I loved how the bus stopped so you could get a good look at the bear! That was a lovely touch on the way to ride Anakeesta's Hellbender Mountain Coaster.
Everyone on the bus was happy the drive did that!
@@AdventureIsOutThereseems s little on the dangerous side though...
@@JK-g62 it happens at the time, just don’t approach them on foot.

Awesome ! Great video too .. curious on how it was filmed ? I didn’t see any pole for the camera as it went over the cart .. awesome 😊

Oh, we actually did go to anakeesta and also astra lumina. It was amazing. The first one was the best as it looked like a UFO!
We rode this 4 years ago and it too short.Also didn't like that the ride started the way it did.
I hope you enjoy your time here!!

Looks fun - can’t wait to try the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster during my next trip to Gatlinburg… but honestly, I’d be more excited for the bears, since we didn’t see many during our last two trips down there!

We will be going up to pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg this Thanksgiving. Would love to try it out when we’re up there. Thanks for the great content. Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster

ANAKEESTA Hellbender Mountain Coaster. : ) We love your videos and have used your info for two trips. :) Coming back week of Christmas to stay at Dollywood Resort!
Thanks Kimberly, it’s encouraging to know they help!
Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster looks like it’s amazing.
Thumbs up to the driver for stopping so everyone could watch the bear. It probably didn't expect having a captive audience. 🐻
I can't wait to take my 3yr old on Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster for his birthday in December!

Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster. This ride looked awesome! And that’s a hard choice picking between the coaster and seeing a bear…I would say the coaster and my hubby would say the bear! 🤣 can’t wait to ride it over Christmas!!
Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas trip!

I’m going in a week and a half! Looks so cool
Hope you have a great time!
That looked like a lot of fun. Was there two mountain coasters up there? You mentioned you could ride rail runner and then ride the hellbender. ANAKEESTA HELLBENDER MOUNTAIN COASTER. GREAT JOB. 👏👏👏
Yes Renee, there are 2 coasters. Their Rail Runner has been there for some time. The Hellbender is their new one which is a lot smoother.
I need smooth. I have a bad neck and back.

Annakeesta mountain roller coaster!
Looks like a fun day!
👍
Thanks for reminding everyone that seeing other people’s vacay pics is never fun
👍
with the bears running around going up is the scariest part of the ride
👍
I was there back in April and I did purchase a ticket for the coaster but it got rained out and I never got to ride. So it would be nice to ride the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster. Looks fun I wonder how bouncy it is.
The Hellbender is very smooth!
how did you get that shot on the coaster where it appeared no one was holding the camera, neither one of you were holding it, I see the selfie-stick in the shadow but there were only two of you on the coaster. Some great magic there!!!!!!
I would love to ride the Anakeesta Hellbender Mountain Coaster some day! Great video!
Thanks Nathan!
