Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

[jjirons69]

This thing starts hauling azz at the end. It's a single rail Apline coaster, much like the one in the picture. I'd do it! Has to be a hell of a wild 4 minute ride.

Oh, HELL YEA!!!!!

[deadrise]

wow that is cool let's do it!!!!!

It would be a ball, but it's lacking some serious safety precautions. What if a deer is stradling the track half way down? Can't stop, no steel between you and it = pain or death. I'm guessing they launch more than one at a time, spaced by a minute or two. What if the one in front of you gets stuck, hits an animal or is otherwise broken down. You can't stop and hit them going 40 mph -ish?

It would be a lot of fun, but I dont' think I'd do it unless there were some emergency precautions taken.

[Remo]

I'm in!!!!

[elderboy02]

There is no way in hell that I would do that.

[MedicCook]

I want to do it head first.

[kelmac07]

I'm with Ryan...I'd do it head first!! :tu :tu

[WittyUserName]

I did one of these in Park City, not near as long as this one but they are TONS of fun.

[rizzle]

Indeedy.

[shilala]

Absolutely. :tu

[kydsid]

Hell ya, did a MUCH shorter version in the smokey mountains somewhere. Lot of fun.

[Stephen]

I'm game. First, let me swing by the local Wal-Mart to pick up a bottle of Grey Goose and some depends.:su

[Emjaysmash]

Hell No.

[icehog3]

I would do it pantsless.

[Resipsa]

I would do it pantsless.

Well, that would eliminate, so to speak, the need to wear Depends, :r:r

I prefer cloth anyway, I am all about the environment.

[Taki]

Where do I sign up!!!!!

[ade06]

No way, that looks like a death ride.

[Dr Voss]

Wow what a ride but I think I'd rather let someone else do the ride and I'll watch the video.

[IBQTEE1]

OMG I would do that in a heart beat.

[Don Fernando]

In a heartbeat, looks like fun. Maybe we can combine this with a longest ash contest :D

Well then what you need are these (http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/oops-i-crapped-my-pants/1049485/).

I love the way it's engineered, still has trees & debris lying all around the track--as if some guys went out there one day and said, "Hey, let's build a coaster!"

[688sonarmen]

Dude, that is RAD! Yes, RAD!

[tsolomon]

Wow, it's an hour away from where my friends live in Germany, so I'll see if we can talk them into it the next time we visit.

[Mattso3000]

Definitely.

[Lanks85]

I was waiting for this guy to hit a bear straddling the track the whole time. :gary

[irratebass]

Oh he'll yes! DEF HEAD FIRST!!

[Don Fernando]

I was waiting for this guy to hit a bear straddling the track the whole time. :gary

no bears (of moose or deer) in that part of Europe

[Zeuceone]

looks like fun. hopefully security kepps people from putting stuff on the rail.

[ArgusP2]

I'm in!! Head first too!!

[MrClean]

YES please!!

[357]

Honestly though, going 40+ mph a racoon or even squirrel size animal would break your face.

Ask the motorcycle guys what a Junebug feels like at 40 mph and multiply that weight times 100 for a coon.

[N2 GOLD]

HELL YEAH, looks like 4-mins of fun... :tu

[elderboy02]

How do you stop? I wish they would have showed that.

[replicant_argent]

I would do it ass-less chaps-less.

fixed that for ya, bud.

Oh, and hell yeah, I would love to get on that thing.

[Steve]

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[thebayratt]

Ive been on one similar in Gatlinburg. It has no rail, rather a trough you roll through.
Either way, if you get going fast enough and loose it, its going to leave a mark!

That thing gets humming right along at the end!
Id try it!
