After seeing the cart you're strapped into, I've decided against it. It's about the size of a radio flyer and you're strapped in with a lap seat belt. If it didn't have those horrible 90 degree turns every couple hundred feet, I would ride the shit out of it.

I have ridden something similar in Colorado. It was called an alpine slide and essentially it's a fiberglass hotwheels track and you ride down on a sled with wheels. What he is riding looks like fun, but I am pretty sure that it's attached to that rail pretty securely, what they have in colorado is probably more dangerous since you aren't attached and you can bank up on the edges around curves.
Edit:
Here is the exact slide that I rode on.

Yeah, this we need to turn into a group outing. That looks totally badass!
Guesses on max speed achieved? Mine is 50mph, especially on that bottom section...
Heh, just found a link that says top speed of 42kmh/26mph. Looks a lot faster than that!
Here's what the cars look like. A ride was $15...Last edited by mikec; 11-26-2011, 10:34 PM.
