This New Thrilling Mountain Coaster Near Ottawa Will Have You Racing Through A Forest

The track is filled with twists and turns!

Staff Writer

Just 25 minutes from Ottawa, you can go on an exhilarating ride at Camp Fortune. Their new mountain coaster just opened, and it will take you through the forest at up to 40 kilometres per hour.

To try it for yourself, you'll get to ride the chairlift to the top, where you can enjoy a stunning view of Gatineau Park.

Then you'll get to board the coaster and ride the nearly 1-kilometre track, where you'll feel every twist and turn.

But how fast you race to the bottom is up to you, as you'll get to control the speed.

So you can go slowly and enjoy the view or feel the wind blowing through your hair as you try to reach top speeds.

Tickets are $20 a ride, or you can ride it three times for $45.
