284 - alpine rail

Over a year ago, blogger did not have the technology to upload videos. Now that it does...here is one for kicks. This video came from our trip to Colorado last summer.

This is the alpine rail slide in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. It is more like a roller coaster ride than a luge track. You are in a single car and you have a lever in each hand that controls the speed of your vehicle by braking. Very fun.

That is very cool. It actually looks more fun than a lot of amusement park rides.

I am actually a little surprised that you were allowed to take a camera on the ride. When we were at SDC a couple of weeks ago, I noticed signs warning that getting caught with a camera on a ride meant expulsion from the park.

That looks cool! I have taken some coaster rides with my nephew online! :) He took me on a tour one night when we were both online! :) I enjoyed this more! I'll have to send him the link for him to check it out! :)

I kept my camera hidden until the ride started. There were no signs at the time.

That looks like what BB rode at Mt. Hood a few weeks ago. He had a good time too.
