Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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.

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you 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.

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

I want to do it head first.

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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.

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

Where do I sign up!!!!!

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

No way, that looks like a death ride.

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

OMG I would do that in a heart beat.

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Well then what you need are these.

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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!"

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

Dude, that is RAD! Yes, RAD!

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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.

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

Oh he'll yes! DEF HEAD FIRST!!

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

I'm in!! Head first too!!

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.

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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

fixed that for ya, bud.

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

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

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!
