This concept is initially based on summer toboggan; the single car slides freely in a series of step descents and circular curves on a track cut through rugged mountain terrain. The passenger can control the speed of the ride. Meaning, he can choose not to brake or go as fast as he wants or go slower and take more of a scenic-type ride.
The great difference of that alpine coaster is that the toboggans are firmly connected to the rail system. That means that even when force is used, they cannot be separated from the rails. Additionally, the rails are built a few meters above the ground. This means that it can also be used during the winter season.
Like most of alpine slides and Roller Coasters, once at the top, gravity pulls the car down the banked track.
NOTE Children under 3 yrs old are not allowed.
Children 3 to 8 yrs MUST be accompanied by an adult (18 or over) to take this ride.
