Alpine Coaster with no brakes

Jaw dropping, high-speed, brakeless journey down the mountain. Austrian downhill coaster is nevertheless terrifying.” The coaster located Mieders, Austria, starts at the top of a mountain, reachable by a cable car.

How come the furineers get to have all the fun?. Come on America, we need some of these!

Probably too much red tape. Bureaucrats and environmentalists ruin all of the fun.

Um, that’s where I live but I never go over the WV border to OH.

[and I don’t do roller coasters]

;D

I hope those signs along the route don’t say “DEER CROSSING”.......

Cedar Point is the best place for coasters on this planet...with Top Thrill Dragster as the best "coaster" ever!

120+MPH and an unbelievably smooth ride. (The "similar" ride at 6Flags in NJ "Kingda Ka" was a little faster and higher but rough beyond description...would still return to that ride also but TTD is the best, without question.)

Hoping to get back there this season...not bad for a couple of 60 year olds...

Ah Yes...I did Rte 55 in WV...since I rode there a big interstate has been installed so it’s not the same. Back-in-the-day, it was a lovely ride through Moorefield, past Seneca Rock, Seneca Caverns, and Smoke Hole on winding mountain roads with water rushing alongside. Of course, I had to ride from BOSTON to get there! LOL!

I would love to try the route you suggest! :-)

That sounds NICE! :-)

If I remember correctly, these things were built to help people get home, after spending the day working in the mountains.

They should make elevators like that.

Might need a few city blocks to stop it though.

I don’t know. I rode South from the Winchester, VA Area and rode many miles, turning into every “scenic overlook” I could, and than turned around and headed North again, continuing on into WVa.

He can’t read the signs, but I think they say “Caution: Grizzly Crossing.”

There aren't Grizzlys in Austria although the Van Trappe family is still being pursued by Nazi ghosts, perhaps??
