What Is An Alpine Coaster?
From Alpine Coasters:
An alpine coaster (also known as a mountain coaster) is a type of roller coaster found in mountainous areas such as ski resorts. Riders sit in a cart, similar to a bobsled, that is attached to a fixed track. Alpine coasters use the natural elevation of the area and gravity to transport riders down the mountain.
Alpine coasters feature a manual brake, so you can control the speed of your car and the thrill of your ride.
