When I rode this Austrian Alpine Coaster it was the longest in the World. My first ride took 5 minutes • Long Alpine Coaster (I... but I tried on my next ride to see if it was possible to complete it faster than 5 minutes. After 3 minutes all was going well until we caught up to my friend Chris...so for the final 2 minutes we chased him in a high-speed alpine coaster pursuit. Please forgive the screams and over-excitement at the beginning of the ride...but at full speed some of those corners and bumps in the track are a little scary! Also please note that the video was filmed during a private event and not when the coaster was open to the public.

No matter the language you speak or the country you're from, the sounds of laughter and fun is universal.
So true - thanks for the comment :-)
@@davidjellis j
No in Spanish it’s jajajajaja
Universal movies
This is true!
It's always nice to hear someone laughing with joy.
This is so wholesome
@@BasicallyIncrediblyBored yeah
I didn't know hearing somebody have so much fun would make you so happy
Absolutely Amazing Ride!!!!! So much fun !! I wish I could ride something like that. I am just too disabled to do so. Thanks for taking an old War Veteran on a ride like this. Unforgettable !!! Absolutely UNFORGETTABLE !!!
Thanks for your comments Big John :-)
Glad you enjoyed watching.
kid: pushing hotwheels at two miles an hour
what he's imagining:
To be honest, the screams and laughter was the funniest part of the video!
+Seagull Warrior Well what else would make this video funny?
ocripcurrent nah the grass being green was hilarious
ocripcurrent i think he came out the mental hospital or something
I agree
Just the laughter alone in this video makes it worth watching, not to mention a thrilling sled ride. Thanks for a great post.
Glad you enjoyed it - I guess you can see how much fun it was!
Thanks
Take a lesson Walt Disney Company and Six Flags that is how long a Coaster ride should be !
George Glass I know waiting a queue for 1 hour for a 10 second ride
Well six flags parks don't have 2000 foot tall hills. So they can't make an alpine coaster like this. Plus, capacity would be horrendous.
George Glass disney sucks , its just a place to get fat and stand inlines
Yes
George Glass damn straight
this guy sounds like elmo when he laughs lol
Thanks but who is Elmo? Everyone keeps saying that, and I am puzzled!
davidjellis Elmo is from a show called sesame street
davidjellis he is a little red furry and orange nosed puppet from a kids show here in the united states called sesame street.
Ah - never seen it...watched the Muppets but never Sesame Street - thanks for clarifying - so I guess I sound like Elmo then!
Heard of Sesame Street - but never seen it - was a big fan of The Muppets when I was younger but Sesame Street is one I haven't seen!
Thanx to all the people who built this ride! 👍👍👍👍
when grown ass men starting to sound like 7 year old girls they had a great time
Indeed I did !!
@@davidjellis Never had a reason to visit Austria until tonight.
@@danielcox6143 It's worth the visit!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
@@davidjellis love hearing people enjoying themselves

this would be on my winning the lotto list
Drive 99 why just at winning in lotto??
Jen Dark Energy 384400 its not expensive to ride it. And an early train ticket isnt that much too
Jen Dark Energy 384400 Your life must suck. No?
Not expensive. Around 12€
Jen Dark Energy 384400 i am so sorry for u :(
Possibly the coolest ride I have seen. Definitely the best way to go down a mountain.
I would have to agree :-)
eiyeiyeiyeiyeiyeiyeiiyeiyeiyeiyeiyeiy! woooooooooohooo! arghhhh nooooh! yahahahaha!
he sounds like a sim character :'D
Shady Bruzer 😂😂
Shady Bruzer cause he is
THE TOP HAT CAT o
English plz
WoW ! This seems like the longest Coaster run I have seen ... fast too ! I love it !
It's the second longest in the world
It is my understanding that when given today's advancements in Fighter Technology, many of the free world Air Forces are sending their best pilots to Austria with the intent to ride this coaster in an effort to weed out potential future problems in their ranks. Not only does this coaster test the limits of human endurance under extreme G loads, it also provides the Aviation Medical Professionals with a stating base line for all future testing to be applied as new technology continues to be developed and deployed. We truly live in exciting times if I may say!
Great comment :-)
I feel like the g-forces experienced here aren't going to be anywhere near those required for or experienced during jet training, certainly not "testing the limits of human endurance".
Thank you for filming this . This was so badass . It looks fast on camera , I'm sure it was much faster in person .
It was a lot faster than it looks - and a hell of a lot of fun!
@@davidjellis glad to hear , very nice !!!!
So this is where the Sims get all of their audio files
Can't deny, his laughter is mighty contagious. Glad he's having so much fun on that thing.
Damn, that is awesomely long. I would be bumping the slow poke in front of me.
Dave Bogusky yeah. I hate it when people just break for no fucking reason
404UsernameNotFoundX Every time I would ride the fast lane there was ALWAYS some slowpoke, usually a girl, that took that lane then fucking died. I always bumped them and yelled to speed up. Never had a great ride because of these types of people.
There is always a risk of getting behind a slower rider...happens a lot and it's very frustrating - that said, it isn't an excuse for breaking the safety rules of the ride, sorry.
it happened to me when i was a kid. i always tried to go full speed, but due to lacking body weight i even ground to a full halt at one point (unintentionally). the operator urged me to get going again ... and it did. i've got no idea why i fully stopped back then (i wasn't scared of the speed or anything), it just happened. i guess max speed is dependent on body weight, so it'd be no surprise mostly (smaller) girls are the slow pokes. it's not their fault.
You sound like an ass Dave, bumping can happen regardless but yelling is not worth it.
Loved it! I'd never heard of these, either. Don't apologize for the screams & excitement. That made it fun--and *more real*!
I know that the closer to the ground you are, the faster it feels like you're moving. So that's probably why people say you must be going faster (than 26mph). Although it does seem fast! (And like you said, if you're 300lb, it probably is faster.)
I'll bet those little bumps really "get your belly", as we say here in the Ozarks. :) That was always the fun part of coasters for me, but they'd just have a few. This has one after the other.
The prices are really cheap, too.
I've got to check your playlist(s), now! :) Thanks for posting these!
Thanks for the comments Leland - Glad you enjoyed how it came across - a totally natural expression of fun and thrill :-)
That looks brilliant I hate them roller coasters that are over in about 3 or 4 seconds but this one goes on and on🎢👍
It was a total blast :-)
The screams and laughter were a great addition to the video! It makes me wish I could ride it myself!
Thanks :-)
Dutch Van Helsing - Yes, this one is secured to the track so you cannot derail - it's a wild ride. The attraction you have ridden is more commonly known as an alpine slide :-)
***** Isso também ocorreu em Mieders-Australia?
Andrea Deya It's Austria - not Australia!
***** ... true ...
Only changed Countries ... (laughs)
***** haha you sound like a happy sim, glad u enjoyed urself.
Otter Troll It was a blast!!
This looks amazing!
+Ferrariman601 It is indeed!
+Callum Holder Hope you got your IT problems fixed!
just looking at this clip makes me feed gooood.
Glad to read that :-)
I looked this up davidjellis. Very good price for a trip that lasts 5 minutes. Looks like a blast!
It was a blast!
unreal that was the best roller coaster bobsled ride I've seen. I did one in big bear California but it was only 1/4 long and it wasn't on rails so if you pushed the handle forward and went to fast you would fly off lol but the fact you can push the handle forward on this and not fly off is amazing and the length of it was UNREAL. great video!!!
The screams and over-excitement at the beginning is nothing to forgive. It makes it a really authentic video! Nice one and thumb up :-)
Thanks :-)
he sounds like a character from sims
ItsAlmo You have an Elmo picture.... And you thought of the Sims.... Lmao he really does though
DatOrangeCat yeah he does lol
Great ride.. To spice it up, how about at night time with only a headlamp on ??
After 8 years, this guy is still commenting on people's comments, glad that he is so dedicated to his channel!
Many thanks - my view is that if people take the time to watch my videos and post comments it's only right I should take the time to acknowledge that and reply :-)
Thanks for recording! I loved it! felt like I was riding along with you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love his laugh
Miieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Bethany Gonnelli I love you
Bethany Gonnelli 100th like!
Crownless.Prince XD
Shut up u fucking emo shit
That was AWESOME! They ought to have that EVERYWHERE!
This is so fun watching the guy riding the coaster
This is the most wholesome alpine coaster video I've ever seen! Usually it's just people getting mad at kids
Cheers - pleased you enjoyed it!
This laughter had me smiling the entire time. Happiness is contagious.
Great stuff :-)
I love a hearty chuckle mate
Was I the only one who was laughing at his laugh and his noises
They made me laugh too 😂
Rainbow PandaBear me too
Not the only one, wish I was there too😔
I am so fucking jealous.
I bet - it was a blast!!
This is by far the best alpine coaster I've seen. Great ride!
It's very good, and long!
Wow! This has to be the BEST alpine coaster!!
Its a pretty good one!
that is one long roller coster
poppy luck 2.2 miles of fun
I’m glad this man had such a fun time
How i wish I can take this ride to work......i would be in good mood all the time.
Same here :-)
Well then. Be in a good mood. Power of the mind.
Years and years ago at Alton Towers I went on an all weather bobsleigh ride down a fibreglass track. I was only about 12. Partway down a wild rabbit popped out the side of the track, leading me to panic and lean the other way, flipping the sled of and up in the air whilst I slid down the fibreglass burning skin off my arms, legs, back and torso. I was dazed and took a while to gather myself. Nobody came to my aid, yet no further sleds came down. There were screens showing the track from the top but I must've come off in between cameras. The first person I saw was my dad who was wondering where I'd got to as my sister had safely returned to them. That was SO DANGEROUS! Not one person helped me except my dad who just took me away from the area to get treatment rather than kicking off at the ride. The wounds took months to heal, with hindsight I should've had skin grafts as there was no skin to heal over, then they got infected too. The ride was removed and something else put in its place the next time we went but my parents never complained so I expect others would have come off it too
Those types of ride (alpine slides / toboggans) are potentially unsafe as you can indeed come off them if going too fast for the conditions (I came off twice on the longest one in North America in August last year and my elbow is still sore) - the ride in this video is an alpine coaster and fixed to the track so you cannot capsize or fall off, so not a safety risk. I like the alpine slides, but will think twice after coming off that one last year before I attempt one at speed!
This looks amazing at least a long roller coster
It IS a long ride (2.2 miles) and was a lot of fun!
1:15 my new whatsapp notitication sound
+caitlin benson - It's in Imst, Austria!
Who
Ik hoefde het niet eens te vragen
im Australia i can go on this ride
davidjellis wait what in Australia WHERE!!!
I have a vision of this ride, but halfway through the track goes over a surprise 100 yard wide chasm!
Been there, done it, loved it. Nice video, brings back a nice memory.
I am a coaster fanatic... this one is on my bucket list! There are similar types in the US, but none this fast or as long.
There are some that are as fast, but nothing anywhere near this long!
There are three similar coasters in the US Appalachian Mountains (Pigeon Forge area in Tennessee), one has a covered car and windscreen for rainy weather... slow in comparison, probably due to aerodynamics, and on that one you spend a long time "climbing" on the rail (pretty boring).
Those are still on my to-do list...were built after I last visited that area. On most of them you ride the lifthill as well as the downhill section.
pros6359 It is attached so it cannot come off.
davidjellis
lady raiin mmmmj
lady raiin jkjj
davidjellis My hair was also once attached to the top of My head, but it fell off anyway!
LOL - I hope you have your body safety checked every morning just in case other parts fall off ;-)
This Alpine Coaster drives in fullspeed more then 5 minutes xD gosh would be awesome to drive with this one to school in a environmentally friendly way
his laugh sounds like the dad fish from nemo
Genuine thrill giggle ! I couldn’t stop laughing with you. That thing is faaast and looong. Much better than the one I rode years ago in Colorado.
I have ridden some in Colorado...but this is much longer! Glad you enjoyed the video :-)
I don't know if it's just me, but this looks a thousand times more fun than those giant B&M rollercoasters at theme parks that have these huge overexaggerated drops and loops, while the actual ride lasts only 2 minutes. Love the scenery as well. Someone should invent a form of transportation like this lol. Would make for one interesting trip to work every day.
I enjoy the B&M coasters, but these offer a very different and thrilling ride experience...agree that travelling to work like this would be fun!
wow it looks awsome bro...👍👍 love from india
thanks!
wtf is your profile pic😂
This looks WAY better than those amusement park coasters.
+Jessie Romanov It is a LOT of fun...normal coasters are great but these attractions are special!
Yes i agree 101% this one is getting in touch with nature yet getting the best adrenaline kick out of it unlike the indoor city roller coasters which is now becoming a cliche, unless is backwards roller coaster like the one in japan. & the best abt alpine coasters is that i can control my own speed which takes more courage to speed up than just choosing to sit on a normal roller coaster...now i got mountain coaster added into my bucket list if i go to Austria / Swiss next time
Can we catch Chriss? Stay watching to find out
**slides over the timeline to see early thumbnails -> Yes**
+GamingReviews LOL - I guess that was far too easy!
+davidjellis It's in the description too.
Let's all take a moment to respect this guy for liking and replying on comments 8 years later
Many thanks - much appreciated - it's just being polite, if people take the trouble to watch and comment, I should take the time to acknowledge and reply. Thanks for the mark of respect :-)
If I could choose any entertainment ride I've ever seen, throughout my entire life. I would choose this one, hands down, really.
Perhaps safer than with hands up, of course :-)
Now why do I get the impression that you enjoyed that Dave lol ;-)
I dont like roller coasters, but this I'd do in a heartbeat!
I think these rides appeal to many people who don't usually ride roller coasters...they are close to the ground, not high up, and they are fast, and of course, fun!
***** where is this at?!
It's in Imst, in Austria
okay cool
GET A MOVE ON CHRIS
Thats my favorite part
This video gave me the spins ! Awesome video thanks for sharing
Pleased you enjoyed it :-)
Looks really fun. It just goes to show you that rides can be entertaining without loops and other crazy things, as long as you have great scenery
Very true!
This is the coolest coaster i have ever seen. How long does it take to get to the top if you want to ride it again? 3 days??
It was a 15-minute chairlift to the top of the mountain (although it might seem like 3 days compared to how fast you come back down!)
I like to play this very loudly with my eyes shut. It reminds me of having friends.
@@stevestevestevesteve6466 life hits harder
loool this guy is funny... and ride looks seriously fun.
+Blackerflash Thanks :-)
and yes, it is indeed a LOT of fun!
Looks and sounds like everyone got their money's worth. Excellent looking ride and fun to watch.
Thanks :-)
Totally want to ride that alpine coaster looks and sounds like great fun!!! 👍🤓 thanks for the vid.
WOW what a ride !!! hope some day i could do that too .lucky u.
Elvis Presley but yer dead
daniel paulson I'm the king of fun & I'm not dead .!!!! u can call me the king if it's. not to much trouble ???
Who else will never go on a roller coaster with loop and go really high but wanna do this badly
Make bank in New Hampshire, Maine,Vermont, anywhere they better have one of these soon those look fun.
Your laughing made me smile! That is not easy to do. Well done sir.
Cheers :-)
This looks so fun! Those tiny drops in quick succession are so fun!
Theese look awsome. Where do you find them and how much does it cost to ride?
There is a list on the link below (a little out of date though) but you can also search for them on rcdb.com/
www.aceonline.org/census/AlpineCoasters.htm
Nice thank you. I just must make it to one of theese some day. They looked sooooo cool.
Where are you located - there might be one reasonably close to you?
I am from Sweden so the closest would be in the european alps I guess. Quite a bit away from here
There aren't any near me in England either - but at least you are much closer to the amazing Liseberg than I am :-)
They're letting people go a bit too close together. They should wait at least 30 seconds in between each car, particularly if there is only one person in front of two people.
+jmr1068204 The timing is all programmed in...a green light comes on when the sled reaches a point on the track to signal to the operator to allow the next one to go
I presume the fact that you caught up with your friend is to do with... I'm guessing... you're heavier than he is?
That looks like amazing fun, by the way.
We had two people in our cart, so that's why we caught him up as we weighed more
@@davidjellis Ah-ha!! Science!
After watching this, I emptied my bucket list and put this one my first priority.
It was a blast!
Hmmm....I think I've got a new addition to my bucket list. That looks awesome.
It was :-)
I am so jealous!.....lol . I would go down that in an adult diaper if I had to! That would be such a rush😂🤤
LOL - that's funny :-)
awesone,nice roler coster.
Well this makes our New Zealand equivalent look like nothing LOL!
Sweeet, now that seems like a decent stretch of a ride ... and good top speed too.
Looks amazing smooth ride compared to the other alpine rides with the little carts and a brake
It was pretty smooth!
He sounds like James Corden when he laughs and screams! 😝
Cmon overtake him
Obviously he's not on slicks
IM DEAD THE VOICES SOUNDS LIKE SIMS THAT ARE JUST PLAYED OVER THE VIDEOS
th-cam.com/video/BcTl7WuSkaU/w-d-xo.html
That was fun!
I put it on the big screen and sat in the middle of room and laughed the whole time too.
LOL - Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Just the sound of the laughter made me happy and put a smile on my face
Pleased you enjoyed it!
This would be such a great way to get to work
Would definitely wake you up...lol😂
Jiahao Chen It’d be something from a fantasy movie.
I've been on one of these ;) its fun
Glad to see that you took having a slower rider in front of you with good humour. There's at least one TH-cam vid where the rider goes berserk at having to slow down for someone; he yells, curses, rams the cart in front of him, and does other unpleasant things.
Yes, I am aware of that video, as the guy that did it tried to copy my 'no brakes' video and failed miserably. On this occasion the person in front was a friend of ours so it was all good friendly banter :-)
Good lord! That ride is deceptively fast! I was concerned that there might be an accident. Im glad everyone had fun and were safe.
Safety is always top priority - but as we were all coaster enthusiast friends it was a great chance to put the ride through its paces!
I would like to ride this, going from one place to another at high speed with no motor chugging away.
