Canyon Coaster Adventure Park

700 E Route 66, Williams, AZ | canyoncoasteradventure.com before it completes its route, it completely circles the base area building – a first in the world of mountain coasters. The two story building houses a grab n’ go food service, a bar, a huge deck with fire pits, tickets and 23 large screen TV’s. Some of these TV’s provide live feeds of the activities taking place on the mountain, so families can enjoy watching if they are not participants.

Name Organization

The Canyon Coaster Adventure Park will be celebrating its one year of operation on April, 8 2023. The Adventure Park is owned and operated by two families from Big Bear Lake, Ca. Scott and Louise Towsly, and Bruce and Kim Voigt. The Voigt’s own two adventure parks in Big Bear Lake, that provide snow tubing, water slide, alpine slide, and a mountain coaster. The Mountain Coaster in Big Bear Lake is co-owned with the Towsly’s.

Both families determined that they wanted to expand their operation to someplace outside California, and finally settled on Williams AZ. They felt that Williams AZ mirrored the climate and elevation of Big Bear Lake and felt an Adventure Park would complement the opportunities offered by the Grand Canyon Railroad, Bearizona Wildlife Park, and the town of Williams Route 66.

After securing some land on the east end of Williams on Route 66, an 18 month multi-faceted construction project ensued to build a state of the art facility. The Canyon Coaster Adventure Park currently consists of a Snow Tube/ Summer Tubing Hill, and a Wiegand Mountain Coaster, and a 16,000 sq ft. building. The Snow Tube hill operates in the winter, and it does not need natural snow to open. On the south side of the hill, there are 4 huge mounted snowmaking machines that are capable of nightly producing an incredible amount of snow. Guests do not have to walk up the hill, instead they have two “magic carpets” used to transport them to the top with park provided tubes.

The Mountain Coaster, which allows guests to control their speed, climbs 600’ to the top and it comes spiraling down to the base, but
