what an amazing ride - alpine coaster

[webby]

This is a single-pipe alpine coaster in Mieders, Austria. You reach the summit via a cablecar and then sit on a small car with a brake lever and off you go. Having ridden it once using a little braking, I decided to try it a second time without using the brakes. This is SCARY! Enjoy the ride!

Some of those turns and sudden drops look pretty rough! Ouch.

Hahahah awesome! The moaning and "waauuuhhhh" makes me laugh. They used to have one of those around here. It got torn down cause it was made of asbestos and fiberglass. I guess that stuff isn't safe?

asbestos roller coasters are the best kind

asbestos is a major health issue, and has been found to cause cancer. They have to bring certified people in to remove the stuff - like full hazmat suits/respirators, etc
