It is cool!  That's a five minute ride - just you and the mountain - don't even have to wear a stupid helmet!

I'll spare the site more of these. But after seeing the video you posted, I looked for more, and found some. Yours is the best. The boy is brave.

The cars have brakes. In another video, a little girl rides behind an adult, in a two person car. Going down, they use the brakes, because she is pretty scared, if her screaming is an indicator.

The adult in the car behind them, filming, says keep going. You are ruining the fun by braking.

I would love to take that ride.

Me too TS!  Roller Coaster rides are too short - that one looks exhilarating - what with all the alpine surroundings and open air sensations!

And what appears to be the same equipment, used in Tennessee.

I told Mr. M about this video and said we should have ridden this the last time we were in Austria. He's completely freaked out by heights and was not quite as enthused by the prospect.  :laugh:

Yeah, I had to coax my husband to the edge of the Grand Canyon, he doesn't like heights either.  He wouldn't join me at 4am - to sit on the rim, watch stars and watch the sunrise.  He doesn't know what he missed!

If I am ever in Austria, I will take this ride, with or without my husband!
