Anyone here ever been on an alpine coaster/alpine slide?

Looks fun but also kind of dangerous leaving the braking up to the riders, or for some. Some of these riders look too young to be trusted with other people's safety. Seems you can stuck easy if too many people use their brakes too much.
Also it looks like it could be easy to fall out if someone isn't holding on enough.

Yep did that in Durango. It’s not as dangerous as it looks and it’s tons of fun.

Been on the alpine coaster in gatlinburg. I barely Hit the brakes. Those things are made to stay on the track unless your a 350 pound slob. Then you will probably fly off. Your natural instinct is to break so it evens itself out. They’re fun.

Did one in Austria close to the German border. It was like a metal bobsled track and it was fun as frick!

Yes, they are fun as hell.

Yep. They are all over Gatlinburg. Make sure who ever is in front of you is not slacking

They are going to build one here. Looking forward to it.

Are you serious? These are no more dangerous than a regular coaster, and actually probably less so.
And yes I have ridden them in Park City and Lake Tahoe. The one in Park City is awesome.

Yeah it's pretty fun, I've been on several. Best one we did was night, made for a cool experience.

Astroworld had an alpine sleigh ride in the 70s I loved.

I'm fat and my daughter sat in front of me. We were probably pushing 350 between two of us. Never touched brakes. I posted a video of it here years ago.

Been on the one in Pigeon Forge, took my 4 year old up with me. We didn’t hit the brakes once and the little baw loved it. We had to go up a second time.

Never been but looks like fun!
That lady must’ve broken her neck from that whiplash. Dang!
