There is an Alpine slide still operating at Pico a Vermont ski area next door to Killington. You can go full speed after a lot of practice. Super fast, fun and scary. It’s way better than the before mentioned defunct one from the old action Park in Vernon Valley NJ. Vernon Valley is now called Mountain Creek they still operate the water park on the ski hill. Also Diablo Freeride Park…the best downhill Mountain bike park in the country.

Definitely! They look like fun. Wouldn’t mind having one in my own backyard…. if I had that kind of acreage and cash. I’m not far from Wisp. Maybe I’ll give it a shot and report on it. Maybe shoot a little video.

Another thing is on the news it said that 3 of every 8 people that attempt to climb up mt. everest die. So how many workers will die trying to make this ride?!?!

“PS-has anyone nticed something WRONG about my first idea, ive been waiting for someone to notice ever since i wrote it.”

I guess you mean the Everest one. I think it’s a good idea; after all, people have skied down Everest so I guess an alpine coaster couldn’t be that much worse! I think the risk of sailing down the Lhotse Face at 130mph, feeling the hundred below wind chill whip at your face, and suffering enough frostbite to make Everest survivor Beck Weathers cringe is strangely alluring.

GTITS`s tumbleweed looks a lot like kennywood`s high speed thrill coaster. CFC, it was just sort of a contest after your comment, to see who could come up whith the best idea for a theme park.

As far as a theme park on a mountain, Dollywood is pretty close. Tennessee Tornado uses the side of a mountain. But, Ghost Town in the Sky is actually an amusement park on a mountain. Sadly, it's in trouble again and may go bankrupt. Here's a satellite view although it's a bit hard to see. And here are some Ghost Town in the Sky pictures.
