A few weeks ago, Dan, Dawson and I all went and did the Alpine Coaster, in Park City. You start off being pulled up a mountain and then the track turns and you begin your CrAzY decent down the coaster. Dan had me load onto my coaster car first because he knew that if he and Dawson went first I would back out!! He also knew that if I took Dawson I would cry the whole time because I would be scared for him and scared for myself and sure enough I would have to be assisted down.
I want to show you two videos that I am sure depict Dan and Dawson's trip down and then my trip down, but before you see them I want to explain how they work. There is a lever you pull back towards you to brake and to go there is no gas you just push the lever forward...a little forward so you don't crash or.... as Dan did with Dawson, a whole lot of lever all of the way. Me, I did not use a lever only for breaking. See if you don't push it forward gravity and the hill take you down. There was a moment when I was going down a spiral as I was before Dan and Dawson and I had to yell and pray that they heard me... SLOW DOWN!!!
Although you are strapped in you still swing from side to side so Dan had one arm around Dawson so that he would not sway and Dan had the other arm pushing down on the lever full throttle.
Here is what my ride was like ( but in the video its a guy!!) way ScArY!!!!!
Here is what I imagine what Dan and Dawson's ride was like:
In a few days this will be us... and on this one... I go FULL THROTTLE!! It's so much fun and a little tip..the side that says "SLOW" are not they are the older tracks and they are actually faster than the others!! WOOT WOOT!
