These mountains are much taller, but this looks like a blast!

Another name for this is an alpine slide.  There used to be a concrete one on Raccoon Mountain in Chattanooga, TN.  I have road it and if you ask my brother it is dangerous and there is nothing that slows you down or keeps you on the track other than your own stupidity.

Wouldn't your own stupidity make you fall off the track?

I am set to ride the one in Breckenridge CO this summer (it was under renovation last summer). I am so pumped!

There was one on the Wasserkuppe in Germany, very near where I was stationed. We went to the mountain several times, but never rode the slide.

Old thread, but I just saw a great new video for a different single-pipe Rodelbahn in Austria, this one in Mieders.

The rider descends the whole way without brakes. There a few moments that make you shrink and cringe.

I would so do that! Brakes or no!  Just slap the Stupid Hat on me and send me on my careening down the hillside way.

It wouldn't work for Silver Dollar City, but it would certainly work for Branson! There are several hills that are tall enough for a shortened version of this ride, or another ride with a similar concept.

I like it!

There's a concrete one at Ober Gatlinburg as well.
