Insane Alpine Coaster - Quadruple dip YIKES!

There is also an alpine coaster in park city, ut and a new one is being built at adventure ridge in vail.

most of the alpine coasters have a centrifugal brake that prevents you from going too fast.

That looks SO fun! :) They look more fun than the slides at Ober Gatlinburg.

airtime for everyone

So it's basically an Alpine Slide but with cars on a track?

^It (alpine coaster) is basically a rollercoaster with an unconventional car...and user-controlled braking! :)

The Slide (now that I'm back "on track", so to speak) is more like a flying turns only with a trough of concrete instead of cypress...and an unconventional car.

The slides can be fiberglass too.

The coasters have full wheel assemblies locking the cars to the rails.

^^So alpine slides can be qualified as coasters? I need to update my count then! ;)

They Live. We Sleep.

I've started to include elevators, so why not? ;)

Yeah is Good!

Well, they DO coast. ;)

The elevator in my office building is the closest thing to a Freefall outside of a Six Flags or Cedar Fair park. It's one step away from being it's own little Tower of Terror.

ooo, I'll have to grab that credit next time I'm wherever it is that you live.

Yeah is Good!

Coming to northern NJ anytime soon? ;)

I beliieve there used to be a similar ride in Blue Mountain, in Ontario.
