HoursRUNS IN BOTH WINTER AND SUMMER (official page: 'The coaster runs in both the winter and summer') — but it is NOT year-round without gaps: at the 2026-11-05 check the official winter page stated 'The Rocky Mountain Coaster is now CLOSED for the season' (between-season closure before the Nov 6 winter opening).

Hours in detailWinter hours on the resort's coaster page (re-read this pass): Wednesday-Monday 10:00am-5:00pm; CLOSED Tuesdays for snow removal; may close at any time due to weather; tickets are not sold past 4:30pm or when wait times exceed operating hours. CONFLICT on the same page, dual-recorded: the page simultaneously states 'Please note: The Rocky Mountain Coaster is now CLOSED for the season.' The resort elsewhere says the coaster 'runs in both the winter and summer'. With resort Opening Day now delayed (see skiing record), treat the coaster as NOT YET OPEN for winter until Copper's activity status says otherwise - the hours above are the published winter pattern, not a claim it is running today.

ParkingFrom the resort's coaster page: 'Free parking is available at Alpine & Far East lots. All interior lots are paid until 2pm.'

Age notesOfficial rules with rationale (resort page, this pass): to DRIVE you 'must be 9 years or older & 52" or taller'; a child passenger rides FREE - 'Ages 3-8 years old, 36" height minimum - Ride Free as a Passenger with a paying adult.' Under-3s and children under 36 inches are not carried in the published table. Track facts: 5,800 feet long, 430 vertical feet, speeds up to 25 mph - the second-longest alpine coaster in North America per the resort.
