this is the first and currently only alpine coaster I have ridden. this thing is awesome!!! it has genuine actual airtime and some terrifying laterals. also the setting is genuinely unmatched
I like coasters. But I will take this over a regular roller coaster in a millisecond...assuming it is not monumentally more expensive. Thanks very much for this video.
@@CoasterHorizons I've been on both and most days, yes. Not only is this coaster cheaper, it almost always has no line (in the winter) and has a much better view. Steel Vengeance is good, but this coaster is great.
That was an interesting ride. At first, you're screaming down the mountain. What a rush! Then, all of a sudden, you slow down to a walk. The rest of the ride, keeps you in suspense. You don't know, if or when you're going to speed up. You don't speed up, but take it easy, all the way to the bottom. That's for your first trip. Once you've done one trip, you know what to do, on your next trips. Be safe and have fun!
My Grammy and Grandpa used to live in this town (at 538 N Traver Trail; they lived there from 6/1/1998 - 6/4/2018, and my Grandpa used to teach in Grand Junction, Colorado. about 1 1/2 hour drive from here.) Now, they moved permanently to 302 Boulder Rd, Grand Junction, CO 81507 because my Grandpa got MSA (Multiple System Atrophy) and he can't walk. When they lived in Glenwood Springs I loved to go on this ride!
Just imagine how fast you'd be going if the brakes weren't there. Like you'd probably die from train derailment, literally 100+ mph probably. This one hauls boogie, you can hear the brakes keeping it in check in multiple spots
Believe it or not the problem was almost always cigarettes and people would drop them wherever despite the signs. Stoners always had their pen and were a pleasure to attend to. Drunk people and cig smokers were always a bad combination. I evacuated this place due to a fire on the back side of the mountain nearly a half mile away and worked here for 3 years, cleaned probably a thousand cig butts left on the ground.
I took this bad mother f'r with my daughter.. definitely worth every penny..it's kinda creepy though knowing a mountain lion can easily jump up to get you..😳😬........#imnotscared
Yep! This isn't the longest alpine coaster in the country (or even in Colorado), but it's got some awesome, crazy elements that you don't find on any other alpine coasters.
@@gooseincitypark yeah I've ridden one, Appalachian express mountain coaster at Camelback mountain adventures in the Poconos. It was good but nothing extraordinary

As a glen wood resident I’m so glad we had the first ever mountaintop alpine coaster. And is my favorite ride in the world

Beautiful location nice Alpine Coaster
i rode this years ago and it is my favorite i’ve ever been on
I rode that back in 2010, while being the most hung over I have ever been, and it was still fun as heck.

You would rather take this over steel vengeance?

Absolutely would agree but I used to work here so might be biased. Never got old!
Very cheap
An example of a great Alpine Coaster
The ultimate 😊 what's Amtrak observing car after this scenic thrill
I’ve been on this ride so much times I love it

Walter Fink I went balls out no brakes the first ride. This was actually my first ride on it.
@@upstopmedia I saw that. Just glad the sled didn't fly off!
I've seen rides like this one, in other places. See other TH-cam channels.
The view of that valley at 0:42 is amazing :o
Did this four times today (the gf loves alpine slides).

My home glenwood springs
I'd love to ride one of those and wish Oklahoma would have some! Really enjoyed your video!
SO COOL!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
I like rollercoasters, the more turns the better
Looks like a lot of fun!!!
It is ( I live in the town that has it )
The whole time in the beginning, i was like i wonder what this lift hill is going to look like….. 🤦🏼♂️ 🐌
That looks like fun

It's hard the first time not to hit the brakes a little . But the line moves fast so you can get lots of rides in.
Only in my state would there be a sign not to “smoke” on a roller coaster. Lol.
Believe it or not the problem was almost always cigarettes and people would drop them wherever despite the signs. Stoners always had their pen and were a pleasure to attend to.

The gondolas look just like the Mickey Skyliner at WDW
T R So true I went there this summer and stayed at a resort that had them
If it has nets to catch my hurling big butt I’m out lol
I once left my phone on this ride
The most anti-climactic lifthill since Adventure Express
That’s what I told your mom too
I took this bad mother f'r with my daughter.. definitely worth every penny..it's kinda creepy though knowing a mountain lion can easily jump up to get you..😳😬........#imnotscared
Ok but that’s a lot of double downs and triple down on an alpine coaster...

Looks like a good ride except for boarding at the top. I'd much prefer to ride to the top, and then enjoy the downhill ride rather than vice versa.
Yeah, but the entire park is on a mountain, so it wouldn't work that way
