@@Coaster_Focusthere’s one at Anakeesta in Gatlinburg, TN that I went on and actually had to use the brakes too lol. It felt like I was literally about to be thrown off the car at times to the point that I’m honestly surprised they don’t have trim brakes installed at some portions. I can’t imagine someone going down it without using the brakes at all. I’m like a medium sized guy, so I can’t imagine a big guy going down without using the brakes. A bigger guy would be absolutely flying through the course at speeds that seem borderline dangerous lol. Some of the strongest forces I’ve felt on any rollercoaster, let alone a mountain coaster like this. They really are like hidden thrill gems that a lot of coaster enthusiasts don’t even realize exist or underestimate how forceful they are. Plus it is super cool to just be riding through the untamed mountain wilderness too. Love a good mountain coaster!
@@STSGuitar16 funny story, I just rode this exact coaster, Rail Runner at Anakeesta, last week! I am 6’3” and 250lbs and somehow I managed to not use the brakes on that one lol! I will have a video of this coming soon so you can see what it was like on my ride, but I was absolutely FLYING and I did think I could’ve flown off at a certain point, but I survived lol.
@@Coaster_Focus oh wow, what are the odds! Lol. It was the first mountain coaster I had ever been on so I was definitely being more cautious lol. Some of the curves were seriously throwing me around and I truly did feel like I was going to be thrown off the thing at times for real. A ton of fun though. You must have been totally booking it, man! How does that one stack up against others you’ve tried? I’ll be looking for the video!
