Grand Exposition Coaster is a small steel family roller coaster at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. It opened in April 2006 as part of The Grand Exposition, a new area of the park that debuted that year.
The Italian manufacturer Zamperla built the coaster, one of its Family Gravity Coaster models (80STD). A chain lift raises the train to a height of 13 feet. From there the track has a small drop into an upward helix, followed by a right-hand U-turn back into the station. The track is 262 feet long, and each ride covers the circuit three times. RCDB classifies the layout as a single helix in the center of the ride.
The coaster has no inversions. It runs a single train of six cars, with riders seated two across, for a total of 12 riders per trip.
