    I've ridden about 15 of these in the U.S, mostly in the Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg area. The Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster is the longest in the Smokies. These rides all have governors on the track & cars that limit speed to 30-35 MPH, so there really isn't one that's "the fastest." If you ride brakeless you can feel the car slow down. I'm a wood roller coaster hobbyist but do enjoy these once in a while. Their biggest problem is they all do just about the same thing, mild dips, turns and spirals. After riding 5 or 6 I realized they're all very similar insofar as what the track does and how the ride feels. I did ride the one in this video & remember it feeling like it was way too short. Great video! Glad you liked it!

      There's only 5 in the Pics on Forge area where else have you rode one. 15 is a lot. I've rode 3 in Branson and two in Pigeon Forge.

      @@vegasstoker9647 Currently there's around 87 in the U.S. from the two main manufacturers, ADG & Weigand. I've ridden 8 in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area, 9 if you include the one in nearby Sevierville. One is a single-rail coaster (Rail Runner, Anakeesta) and one just opened (Hellbender, Anakeesta). Railrunner is my favorite. The single rail allows for a wilder layout. Others I've ridden in Glenwood Springs & Vail, CO; Park City & Snowbird, Utah, and 3 in Branson, MO. I also rode the new one in Leavenworth, WA in Sept. So, my total is 19. I'm a wooden roller coaster hobbyist, but if I'm near a mountain coaster I'll ride it. They're mildly fun but they all feel the same. I've also ridden a few where the car rides in a trough instead of on a track, the Alpine Slide at Mount Hood & one near Holyoke, Massachusetts in the 80s. The one at Mt. Hood still operates & has a _spectacular_ view! These always cost too much to ride! Normally around $20-$30. I think the one at Lake Placid, NY is in the $50 range!

    I been on a lot of these mountain ride coasters.
    Two of the fastest i been on were in N.H.
    35mph ride is for toddlers.
    If you demand speed I would recommend a real fast ride in Switzerland.
    Its called Oeschinensee Kandersteg.🇨🇭
    These rides are very common but when they were first introduced they would tear you to pieces from the high speed turns.
    This particular ride id request they take the brakes out and ride as fast as you can.
    This being your third ride , i hope you find something faster in your journeys!

    • @crooked-halo
      @crooked-halo Рік тому +1

      They're _all_ speed governed to about 35 MPH, so none are really faster than others. It _feels_ faster than 35 however, when you're riding.

    Man that one looks fast but I don't think it's as fast as the one in Anakeesta which I think is new. That was my first mountain coast and MAN it's scary, especially if you're on the heavier side the whole thing is just super super sharp turns going completely downhill. Very fun but also insanely scary, especially since they make you sign a waiver haha

    Try backwoods zip lining down a mountain like that! Harnessed in the “Superman” position .. Did it in PA tionesta , kinzu area mid 1990’s . -Country folk way trying to teach their wild kids what a “sober high” is…
    holy fcuk man,
    I can assure you, 70-90mph (with no brakes & speed being very obvious) is not exaggerated! Weights slow you down @ the bottom of the mountain one by one & guy is up on platform to unharness you.
    You’ll never do this cart thing ever again once you experience that.
