Panorama Mountain Resort Expands Its Offer With Sunkid Mountain Coaster
Panorama in British Columbia is a year-round destination in western Canada and is located on the famous Powder Highway. Panorama Mountain Resort offers a wide range of leisure activities in winter and summer and has opened the new "Wild Rider" mountain coaster in summer 2024. This exciting new attraction takes the experience in Panorama to a whole new level.
“We are incredibly excited to introduce the mountain coaster to our guests,” says Steve Paccagnan, President & CEO of Panorama Mountain Resort. “It will be a remarkable experience! With our spectacular mountain backdrop, the coaster will bring an exhilarating family-friendly thrill to visitors looking for a unique way to enjoy the outdoors. It’s a compelling addition to our resort’s summer offerings.” *
The summer toboggan run (with 45 toboggans), designed and built by Sunkid, is located in the "Discovery Zone". The experience begins with an ascent on the Discovery chairlift to an altitude of 1,351 meters. From there, the wild ride begins, taking guests through dense pine forests and open mountain terrain. Riders reach speeds of up to 40 km/h on the one-kilometre route, negotiating exciting bends and hairpin bends. The difference in altitude of 171 meters provides plenty of adrenaline and thrills.
The family-friendly "Wild Rider" offers the perfect adventure for everyone - regardless of whether you prefer a leisurely or fast-paced ride. Everyone regulates their own speed.
The "Wild Rider" mountain coaster from Sunkid is the new centerpiece for adventure seekers in Panorama and offers all visitors an unforgettable experience. This highlight is complemented by a new adventure park with downhill trails, children's camps, white water rafting, a water slide and much more.
"It's all about embracing the spirit of adventure, and we are thrilled that these exciting additions to the resort will help create unforgettable memories for families," says Paccagnan. (*Source)
