Default Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

This thing starts hauling azz at the end. It's a single rail Apline coaster, much like the one in the picture. I'd do it! Has to be a hell of a wild 4 minute ride.

Default Re: Alpine coaster - so would you do it?

It would be a ball, but it's lacking some serious safety precautions. What if a deer is stradling the track half way down? Can't stop, no steel between you and it = pain or death. I'm guessing they launch more than one at a time, spaced by a minute or two. What if the one in front of you gets stuck, hits an animal or is otherwise broken down. You can't stop and hit them going 40 mph -ish?

It would be a lot of fun, but I dont' think I'd do it unless there were some emergency precautions taken.
