I could not come up with any more superlatives to describe what I've just seen in this video. This is a beautiful and breathtaking ride. This is better than any roller coaster I have ever experienced in any theme park in America!!
I am SHOCKED that there were no slow riders in front of you. How did that happen??? Just lucky?? You would have had to slam on the brakes for sure by the speed you were going. GREAT footage and thanks for sharing!! Glad you were secure and did not fly out on those turns. WOW!!
That's because it was only open for members of our coaster club, before it opened for the day to the public :-) As you might imagine, most of our club members didn't go slowly! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for the reply and I understand better now. You have balls of steel for going that fast and you must have been strapped securely so you would not fly off the coaster at the high speeds you were going. I am 64 and used to enjoy many coasters when I was younger but now, I do not ride them much anymore since I have felt like I was going to fly off some of them and they were NOT the more daring ones! Anyhow, in a ski area where I live, a coaster is going to be installed and I may ride that but we will see. Cheers!
@@DougCeleste i did it by stalling the ride operator into telling me how to put my seatbelt on and things like that so the people in front were further ahead
@@lachlanross1 Glad he spoke English. Is this open at night? I wonder if there have been any animals crossing the track when a coaster is near. My fear would be that I am going down the hill and braking and then someone is speeding behind me without braking and comes up to me really fast and is mad that I am going too slow. I saw a TH-cam video like this and the aggressive rider behind the slower rider was trying to intimidate the slow rider to go much faster in which the slower rider did not like. With Covid and travel concerns, not sure when I will get to Europe anytime soon to ride a coaster like this. Cheers from New Mexico USA!
I don’t want to over-think it but this for me is an example of truly living, where any thoughts of risk or fear are thrown out and the whole thing is experienced for the pure fun of it and without a care in the world! This is pretty much why I watch these vids; I love that message! Have fun guys!
That was AWESOME!! I just tried a brand new alpine slide ride in Pigeon Forge Tennessee and although it wasn't this long, it was amazing!! So much fun. Just had to go on it again. It had the same track and cars. Thanks for sharing!! It brought back memories!
Cheers Mike - these rides are made by a company called Wiegend - I haven't ridden the one at Pigeon Forge (was built since my last visit) but they are a LOT of fun!
it makes it ,hearing the voices for me :) ....until today i had never seen these, amazing... I have got to get me on one of these...amazing upload and thank you..did make me smile :))
Interestingly, I was listening to Enigma and came across this video at the same time. I put the video on mute, clicked on full screen mode and continued listening to the relaxing music. I swear I fell into an ethereal trance for 6 minutes. :)
This website lists some of them although it is a few years old now and newer ones have been built...they are a lot of fun www.aceonline.org/census/AlpineCoasters.htm
I love this ride, and will drive from almost anywhere to stay at my favorite hotel and buy multipack rides. I take my grandkids here when ever possible and they ride till they can't take anymore.
That is a nice Video. I just tried the sommerrodelbahn when I was a child. Imst in Austria - the native people there say "Imsht" :-) maybe like the Scottish talk. Sean Conery said: "And the Oshcar goesh to...." :-D
It would be worth the trip overseas just ride this coaster. I can't ride anymore because of severe back and neck injuries. Thank you for the video!!! YOU MADE ME FEEL YOUNG AGAIN!! I WILL NEVER FORGET THE RIDE. THANKS FOR TAKING ME WITH YOU!!!!!
It looks like the one in Turracherhohe. How much for lift tickets, and how much for the ride? Since you're all belted in, there's no place where you'd HAVE to use your brake? Some of the alpine slides are dangerous if you don't use the brake, but this is attached to the rails, right? Is it on rollers? Have you tried the toboggan run in Soll?
The prices etc can be found on their website www.imster-bergbahnen.at/en/summer/startseite/topics.html?lang=userconf It is true that the cars run on the rails so brakeless runs are safe, although many riders DO brake as it can be a little intense around some of the curves. No I haven't been to Soll. You are right...alpine slides are more dangerous as you can come off the tracks if taken too fast.
Here's a nice photo I found online to show how the cars are taken up to the top of the mountain 4.bp.blogspot.com/-kx6R_cbPzl8/VCpi9CjVmZI/AAAAAAAAFNA/epyg5a6IitY/s1600/IMG_0123.JPG
This was a lot of fun...our Coaster Club had the ride exclusively for us for 90 minutes before it opened to the public...very pretty scenery and a lot of fun on the ride!
Now, this was fun, I caught myself 'leaning into' the curves, good thing my chair has armrests. lol. I was subscribed to your channel a few years back but they became (sorry to say this) ho-hum. These I've viewed lately have really been great, thank's for sharing, again.
Thanks Bobby - I post a variety of videos which will appeal to a mixed audience, but thanks for the feedback. I am adding new videos each weekend so check them out, and give a thumbs up if you like them :-)
Ha, I love how they take the cars back up. Pretty much a ski lift for the cars. I was wondering what that wire was for on the front. Now I know! Great video. I can't wait to try it too.
Has this got any breaks at all? I really want to do this, but I am scared as crap! :( How are you secured to the car? Thank you! Great video! It made my day!
Yes, it has brakes, it's up to you how much you use them. The cars are quite supportive and you are secured by a seatbelt, so they feel very safe really. Glad you enjoyed the video :-)
There's one in Germany (called "Rhoenbob" at the Wasserkuppe Funpark) but it's only about 3-5 minutes I think. Next to it is a summer toboggan run which is also a lot of fun
Love your video's, next best to actually doing the ride myself (which won't happen anytime soon if at all I am afraid) Thanks so much for recording and posting these rides
@DIECASTER 4. Hoch Imst, that's the name of the skiing area, it’s a quite small skiing area. For the summer it's fine, there's also a forest pool where you can go swimming (the water is quite cold ^^). But in the winter I would recommend you to visit Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, which is a really great and big skiing area.
That's a bummer. Oh I watched your video years ago and it was in my favorites until something happened. I had to show everyone your video that came into my shop. It instantly added a bucket list location. Thanks for the reply
Marty Lawson Thanks for sharing it with your customers :-)I am able to use a limited number of tracks available on the TH-cam Audio Library...but it is a little limited and so you don't always find the right piece of music or song title...but being monetised has its advantages :-)
I rounded the speed a bit, but the exact speed on my endomondo is 43.55 km/h. No, I haven't been at Mieders. I had in my plans to go there in the same day, but I didn't make it. I came to Istm around the noon and I had enought time just to ride 2 times before the storm started (there where long queues). Then I had to come back to Munich because of the permanent traffic jams on the motorway on Sundays (the ride back took me 4 hours, sick!) I'm definitely visiting Mieders next year.
Now that was a cool link. I think you should have posted that before seeing that so many people love this video and want to ride it. I can't believe it is almost 2 miles long in 5 minutes...now that's fast. :-)
@DIECASTER 3. That depends on your age and ticket you choose. There are actually two tickets, one only for the ride and one for the ride and the promotion to the top. A ticket for adults costs € 6,30 without the promotion and € 10,50 with it.
Yes yes yes, I'm going to Imst this summer ! Question, is it doable for people with a little bit fragile spine ? I really like the coaster, I don't like the bumps in the track... :-(
Why not slow down over the little humps (there aren't many of them) and speed up over the smoother bits? You will just have to see whether you fancy it on the day.
Thanks for the link. Took about 30 minutes..but tracked it all down. Apparently it was still being built in 2009 as that was the last google earth aerial photo taken and parts of the track were not completed. Very interesting, way up in the mountains. Wish I could afford to go, but that's life. :-)
What's those signs for along the ride? Do they imply one should break? :).. Btw, the heavier you are the faster the ride should go, shouldn't it? Would really like to try this out :)
I believe they do warn you there are sharp curves and that you should be prepared to slow down. Weight in the car makes a very small difference, but not much, as the cars have speed delimiters on...it's probably only about 1mph different with a light passenger compared to a heavier one...the big factor is whether you use the brakes or not!
Are those carts attached (attachable to the track)? The one that I used in the past was a plastic wheeled cart on a small "half pipe" made of concrete and plastic (it was very possible to fall off the sides at curves). After you get to the bottom, the carts are attached to the bottoms of the lift seats that take people to the top of the mountain.
I could not come up with any more superlatives to describe what I've just seen in this video. This is a beautiful and breathtaking ride. This is better than any roller coaster I have ever experienced in any theme park in America!!
Many thanks for your kind words James :-)
Glad you enjoyed it - watch out for more alpine coasters (from USA) coming soon!

Thanks John - that's my idea of fun!
They need one of these in CA perfect weather could ride all year...
There's one in Jamaica :-)
was just thinking if they put one in yosemite, twud be epic!
***** Yeah i went on that one execpt its literally 30 seconds of ride time
Here's the video of the Jamaican one Mystic Mountain Jamaican Bobsled
I have watched this...I don't know how often,
I'm so amazed 😍
Thank you :-)
1:15 I laughed harder than i should have.
LOL - I hope that didn't lead to any nasty consequences!

I agree...you must get on one of these!
i will certainly visit it someday....could really feel the thrill...thanx fo sharing

I can see how Enigma would work nicely with the video to do that!
I can only imagine what it took to construct this track and how long it took. OMG!!!! What marvelous work!!!!
this would be cool at night
I agree it would...although I am not sure that they operate it in the dark, I think it closes at dusk.
😊👍
TinaDustyRose Yh
you would be blind as fuck.....as there will be no lights😂
I just can't stop watching this..offline and on. I've downloaded it. So funny to hear them having such a great time. What a ride.
My Imst Alpine Coaster video has just hit 1 Million views :-)
Would you ride it?
Yes I would love too where is this place
Imst in Austria
YES, of course I WOULD RIDE IT!!! No question.... numerous times! This is a beautifully designed piece of engineering!
Would love to ride this coaster. Know of any in the western part of U.S.?
This website lists some of them although it is a few years old now and newer ones have been built...they are a lot of fun www.aceonline.org/census/AlpineCoasters.htm
I love this ride, and will drive from almost anywhere to stay at my favorite hotel and buy multipack rides. I take my grandkids here when ever possible and they ride till they can't take anymore.
that was amazing.
pretty good at holding the camera too.
all this needs is a km/h read out and done with a 3D camera for VR :D
Thanks - and yes, those extra features would be great!
Pretty nice ride. Looks like fun. Long ride too Nice.
That is a nice Video. I just tried the sommerrodelbahn when I was a child. Imst in Austria - the native people there say "Imsht" :-) maybe like the Scottish talk. Sean Conery said: "And the Oshcar goesh to...." :-D
+Joe Blattner Now there's a picture...an Austrian Sean Connery!
This is such a cool coaster !! Hope to ride it some day !! Cool vids btw
This is so awesome & thanks for sharing @davidjellis
+mike brown Glad you enjoyed it :-)
I *LOVE* this video! I've shown it to my students when we cover potential and kinetic energy, and it gets the kids talking :)
Bloody hell that looks like fun!
It was...and the fun went on...and on...and on... :-)
It would be worth the trip overseas just ride this coaster. I can't ride anymore because of severe back and neck injuries. Thank you for the video!!! YOU MADE ME FEEL YOUNG AGAIN!! I WILL NEVER FORGET THE RIDE. THANKS FOR TAKING ME WITH YOU!!!!!
Would ride all day if I lived there
That would be fun!
Lol yeah I'd go on it. then get up that hill to do it again XD
This one is next on my list, I've ridden 5 around southern Germany. I giggle like a little school girl all the way down these things. Great video.
+ali mia - It's in Imst in Austria!
They also have an alpine luge coaster in Dalat, Vietnam as well. I have been there, love it! I plan to go back when I get the chance.
the wagon of my dad actually fell of the rails bc it was damaged... that was scary

You are right...alpine slides are more dangerous as you can come off the tracks if taken too fast.
Holy Crap! Man does that look like fun! I think I would have to make a few trips down on that ride for sure! WOW!!!!
It was the longest of these in the world (now just the second longest) but wow, it was one superb experience!
Wow what a ride so FROSTY
1:16
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Looks like fun, and a sick place to board!
i was on it. it ruled
Glad you enjoyed it - it does indeed rule :-)
Wish we had this in the United States. This is a great video. I think I had just as much fun watching as you did actually doing it.
Here's a nice photo I found online to show how the cars are taken up to the top of the mountain

every time i get in trance watching this. WOW
This is so chill and awesome, I started dozing off I got so relaxed. I want one!!
Oh God, going to Europe next year with mates. This is a must.
camelback, NJ is baby to compare to this one!
This is the second longest in the world :-)

Wow that looks like so much fun!! I don't go on amusement park roller coasters but something like this I'd ride like 10 times in a row. Nice video.

This looks like the best time ever!
It was a LOT of fun :-)
WOW! That was a long ride! I'd love to try it myself.
It was an amazing experience :-)
Looks like an awesome ride!! Checking out the Wisp Resort in Maryland, USA. Closes one in my area.
Where can you find this coaster and others?
That looks incredibly fun!
I rounded the speed a bit, but the exact speed on my endomondo is 43.55 km/h. No, I haven't been at Mieders. I had in my plans to go there in the same day, but I didn't make it.

3. That depends on your age and ticket you choose.
There are actually two tickets, one only for the ride and one for the ride and the promotion to the top. A ticket for adults costs € 6,30 without the promotion and € 10,50 with it.
Yes yes yes, I'm going to Imst this summer ! Question, is it doable for people with a little bit fragile spine ? I really like the coaster, I don't like the bumps in the track... :-(
Why not slow down over the little humps (there aren't many of them) and speed up over the smoother bits? You will just have to see whether you fancy it on the day.
Hey is there like something what straps you in the car do you just hold on?
Thanks for the link. Took about 30 minutes..but tracked it all down. Apparently it was still being built in 2009 as that was the last google earth aerial photo taken and parts of the track were not completed. Very interesting, way up in the mountains. Wish I could afford to go, but that's life. :-)
That was fun. I enjoyed listening to you guys laughing, too. =)
We had a lot of fun doing it :-)
I'm not ready for that ride yet. I'll stay with sedate, gentle, graceful soaring in hang glider.
Just saw you on the news! congratulations!
That was great. Felt like I was on the ride with you. Thanks for posting.

Wie schnell (km/h) fährt man, ohne zu bremsen? Kann man auch die Geschwindigkeit messen?
42 km/h is the maximum speed
just watching this gave me a bit of a rush XD i cant imagine how much fun that must have been
Hey, I'm an Austrian guy and i can say that this is awesome!!!
Nick - the answer is in the video information box - it's in Austria
What's those signs for along the ride? Do they imply one should break? :).. Btw, the heavier you are the faster the ride should go, shouldn't it? Would really like to try this out :)
I believe they do warn you there are sharp curves and that you should be prepared to slow down. Weight in the car makes a very small difference, but not much, as the cars have speed delimiters on...it's probably only about 1mph different with a light passenger compared to a heavier one...the big factor is whether you use the brakes or not!
