The Alpine Coaster, is an excellent modernisation of the old bob run rides, (the ones you ride down a trough on a trolley with a brake handle!). Made by Weigand, its described as 'Alpine Coaster sports installation'. Sport? Fun definately, the cars can take 2 riders (which does make the ride faster!), and the speed controlled by the rider with the brake handle, although its much better to just go flat out through the whole course. There's an automatic brake system to, so there's really no excuse for braking! At top speed the ride lasts just under a minute... Click thumbnailed images to enlarge pic...
