Branson Fam

The Branson Fam's full POV guide to the Copperhead Mountain Coaster at Shepherd of the Hills Adventure Park — introduced as Branson's longest downhill mountain coaster, in a park that also packs in ziplines and the 230-foot Inspiration Tower. The film covers the practicalities first (online waivers by phone or QR code on arrival, parent-completed waivers for kids) before the complete front-seat ride down the hillside.

Key takeaways
  • The Copperhead is Branson's longest downhill mountain coaster, at Shepherd of the Hills Adventure Park
  • Waivers can be completed on your phone before you arrive — parents sign for children
  • The same park holds ziplines and the 230-foot Inspiration Tower

Ride the HAUNTED Copperhead Mountain Coaster at Night

Branson Fam

The Branson Fam rides the Copperhead after dark during its haunted season — the track glowing with LEDs, cool Ozark air, and skeletons and spiderwebs waiting in the dark between the lights. The family verdict: night is better, because you can't see what's coming. A different ride from the daytime run, presented as the coaster's second personality.

Key takeaways
  • Night rides run the coaster under thousands of LED lights
  • In haunted season the course is dressed with skeletons and spooky set pieces
  • The riders rate the night run above the day run — the drops hide in the dark

Their verdict — night wins, because you can't see what's coming. BunnyPlaysHere, who has ridden all three of Branson's mountain coasters, files the comparison: the Copperhead builds speed quickly, its banking is aggressive but smooth, and she ranks it her favorite of the three.
