We did one of the old school ones in Switzerland when we were there in 2001. This looks like an awesome upgrade over the old school ones with plastic carts that you ride down. Badass!.

I hope there aren't any moose in the area that the coaster is on. Could you imagine smacking a moose with your face at 40mph?

Not sure what the person in this video is sitting on, but the one we did had little sled-like things with a handbrake between your legs. Like this:

Also, in case you were wondering where the closest one is to you, here's a list of all "alpine coasters":

^^^^^they have something like the one pictured above similar to this in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Its like a hard plastic sled that has a seat and there is a lap belt.

This one is way more bad *** though! and like twice as long.

Wonder how much it is per ride.
