Cool video. I camped on top of that hill where the coaster is the whole summer of 1995, worked across the street at the gas station. Those were the days, dirt bag rock climber and ski bum at Steven's Pass.
Very cool! Hoping to take my two kids this year while we're there for Oktoberfest. Neither one is big enough to ride alone so it looks like ol' Dad gets to go twice! 😂
so i have to trust that the screw ups who did the last inspection the last time did a good job and didn't missed anything and my trolley car isn't going to come off flying with me and no wings towards destination hell.
@@aklipi you know at first it looked like the rail was encased on a clear plastic tube all the way till the end but then after taking a closer look within the first 5 seconds i realized it was just a silly netting around the sides and nothing on the top Lol 🙄 let's hope that the net is atleast metal serving the purpose of stoping the car if it goes of the rail, the encased tube idea would be cool and it would give future Riders more confidence.
I’m disappointed to learn that Washington States first Alpine Coaster is so small. Oh well it’s a good beginning. There’s a mountain south east of downtown Leavenworth with a road on top called Nighthawk Ridge Lane that would have been perfect for a long Alpine Coaster. Someday I will still ride it as I have never been on an Alpine coaster. I have tried that trampoline with the bungee cords attached to a harness on your waist while visiting in Whistler Village, British Columbia, Canada.
@@GeorgiannaMartin In my earlier message I was talking about jumping on a trampoline with bungee cords attached to me at the hips to give the jumper way more bounce. At Whistler Village the elevation is 2,200 feet (670 meters) and I tired out very quickly jumping on a trampoline. I am used to living near sea level. The trampoline is next to the Blackcomb Mountain Gondola. Speaking of bungee. I did make one leap from the Whistler Bungee Bridge. It was the sixth time in my life I did a bungee jump and frankly it is thrilling but it’s over and done with so fast I wish there was a little more. Maybe a longer free fall or something like that. I weigh 195 pounds (88 kilograms) and get about five or six rebounds hanging from the cord and then I’m just hanging there waiting for them to lower the climbing rope with carabiner attached to pull me back up to the bridge deck.
I love Alpine Coasters! The first one I ever experienced was in Vilseck Germany while going through an Army Small Arms Maintenance course. Then back in Fall 2019 I road tripped traveled through 9 states East of Colorado and once I got to the Eastern Tennessee Gatlinburg town area in the Smokey Mountains there are like 2-3 dozen of the Alpine Coasters and I did about a dozen of them. So much fun!
@@rob9982 It wasn't located directly in Vilseck, it was 30-45 minutes drive outside of Vilseck, so near Vilseck, near a tourist park area with a cave system!
Fun but WAY too short. If you're going to ride one of these, it should be built at a ski resort, so you have a decent ride down the mountain. Also, you're locked in to that rail, and strapped to the sled, so no amount of speed will throw you, which is why I prefer alpine slides, where the sled goes down what is basically a big gutter, and you're not locked in. I legit caught air on the last one I rode. The ride down took a good 15 minutes, and that was going quick but not screaming down speed.
I had my GoPro strapped to my chest. You COULD do it with one hand on the brakes and one hand holding the phone but you could easily lose the phone. I wouldn’t recommend it
I been to several in both Swittzerland and Germany an both countries have longer ones but they are more scenic this was more rollar coaster- like for adventure.
The staff keep a good distance between riders, and if you go full speed, there is no danger of someone running in to you. But overall, yes. I’d say that is a concern
I love that you have to give a thumbs up to the camera after the instructions. I can see them in court, after the high speed rear end collision, derailment and subsequent closed casket funerals. “Your honor, the defendant would like to enter into evidence, exhibit a: Mr Twinkletits giving a thumbs up to the camera before hitting his crack pipe on the lift hill…”
That has to be the same maker and installer that did the Canyon Coaster in Williams AZ. Just went on that about a month ago, and it was fun, but the chicanes were a bit rough. I couldn't leave it flat out no brakes the whole time, as I felt like I had to balance concentrating on keeping tension in my arms to hold the levers down vs just having fun and going with the motion.
I went on the coaster on my birthday and wasn't overly impressed. I've been on every coaster in Bush Gardens and Disney world ,this Alpine Coaster wasn't anything dramatic. It was quick and fast.
I went on the one in Haiti @ the RC owned island, and this one compared to that one it just even looks lame lol. This one you can do without breaks due to the curves, the one in Haiti nahhhh that's a straight shot of speed down hill LOL
Sitting type roller coasters are also fun, but this is the first time I've seen a roller coaster where you can lie down, and I think it's a different kind of exhilaration than the sitting type.
I was really skeptical about this installation but now that it’s done, I really like the experience it provides visitors to my area. It’s close to an arcade so it feels like an extension of a favorite gathering place for events, it utilizes a hill that sits close enough to walk from front street, and didn’t sacrifice much for locals. The coaster is not noisy, some of us were concerned it would be a constant noise that would frighten wildlife and be annoying to listen to for long periods, but it is far quieter than the highway. I really like that this provides accessible fun to people who may not be comfortable or able to do things like ski or hike into the enchantments! I would like to see Leavenworth expand in more ways that do not exclude locals or damage their favorite places. I think they need to bring the big renaissance faire back, I think they need to get a log rolling event going down at blackbird. And they need to bring back Krampusnacht and do something fun for Halloween for adults that isn’t all Oktoberfest
So insanely judgmental about activities near you, you're not entitled to any of them and your opinion on them is just your own. You seem absolutely miserable
That was so lame compared to so many I see. Not your video but the ride lol. It was just really short. Hopefully it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to ride
i’m going to leavenworth today and will be going on this! so excited!!! edit: i just went on it! sooo much fun! there is now a “no camera” rule though 😔
I like the part where the guy says there's going to be a guy up top to remind you and then when you gets to the top the guy up there is just looking off into the distance. Not giving two shits about you😂😂😂
Title says "Honest Review" but there's no review _at all._ There's no need to ever use your brakes on these alpine coasters unless you're about to hit someone, they all have speed limiters/governors which are set to 30-35 MPH. The cars are locked onto the track and cannot come off. This one in Leavenworth is too short but has nice scenery. Mountain coasters are fun but they all ride & feel the same.
@@MrChopsticktech You would stop, or if you didn't see it in time, you would hit it. Depending upon a host of physics issues, and some personal decision-making, you would either continue down the ride, or be unable to do so.
There's at least 9 in the Gatlinbug/Pigeon Forge area alone. Some very short, others long, like the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster, which is over a mile but that includes the lift hill. None actually go _through_ a mountain, but most are on mountainsides.
The stupidest thing inventor do is putting brakes on it. So many crashes impact from behind... No other roller coaster in the world had brake on it except this one.
Sure they do. Watch some more videos. In 90% of the ones l watched l can see the brake handles, hear the rider say 'No brakes, bo brakes' and then when they are finished they pull the brakes to slow down and stop so they can get off.
Ever tried Rock Climbing at Vantage Cliffs near the cities of Quincy and George WA? The area is called Vantage and you pass by it on your way from George WA, to Seattle WA on I-95. You take North Vantage Road and head over to Old Vantage Highway. There you will find a beautiful spot to hike or rock climb in. Plus the Columbia River is right there too.
I don't trust any adventure park ride, carnival ride, or other rides. I don't trust the engineers, inspectors, or operators. Ain't worth it when something goes wrong and you're on the 6 o' clock news.
Then you’re a REALLY BORING person to go with to amusement parks… well you can go do the kiddie rides. But still, you’re a boring person with what I said
Awww wow the USA is finally catching on we have had one of these coasters In Whistler Canada for over 20 years ! So y’all is a little late with this but Canada is also better than the USA so we get the experience the fun things first ! Always trying to copying us Canadians 😂😂😂!!!
There are 87 alpine coasters operating in the U.S. In Canada there are 6. The _first_ alpine coaster was in the United States, not Canada. The first _real_ roller coaster was in the U.S. Not Canada. More things have been invented in the USA than any other country. _Lots_ more. Among all the current inventions in the whole world, 87% came from the U.S.A. 1.70% came from Canada. You _almost_ made 2%! Who's copying whom?
Alpine coasters are so, so expensive. It is not worth 17 dollars for 3 times of about 45 seconds apiece. Sure, you spend several minutes each time riding the lift, however, that's not what people look forward to.

Yeahh… I’m gonna be honest if you’re not local please don’t tell us which of our natural locations to put the tourism attractions we provide to you.
@@rawberriemilkfake3920 My god what a horrible comment. No wonder the rest of the country hates all you
At least there is one to ride! It’s a perfect addition to Leavenworth for the tourists.
Wow...... I felt like I was on this rollercoaster with you like. Literally, thank you so much for the video.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Why did i expect it to get a bit darker when he put his shades on. Lol
Lol
We were just in Leavenworth this summer. No idea there was one of these babies!!!! Definitely going to check it out next time!

No judgement or anything, but I don't think anyone but 30+ white guys have ever said "holy guacamole"
Lol

Many are shorter but there were hardly any 20/ 25 years ago.
How did you capture the coaster ride video? Is it possible with one hand on a phone and the other on the brake?
I had my GoPro strapped to my chest. You COULD do it with one hand on the brakes and one hand holding the phone but you could easily lose the phone. I wouldn’t recommend it
Could be another 15 minutes longer.
Agreed!
lichorice air heads are accordion base perspective CORRECT
I worked for Osprey white water rafting company in Leavenworth. It remains my favorite “job” ever!
I used to hang out there when TR had a bike rental shop and dirt park.
What a shame. Leavenworth is beautiful. Having this man-made monstrosity on the side of the hill is a travesty...
I rode one in Austria. Very cool
They have better ones in Switzerland.
I been to several in both Swittzerland and Germany an both countries have longer ones but they are more scenic this was more rollar coaster- like for adventure.
haven't ; tooth aamart man
Not sure how wise a spear point fence around a trampoline is...doesnt seem like anyone thought it through
Not so sure I wanna depend on others adjusting their own speed..
Ughh.
The staff keep a good distance between riders, and if you go full speed, there is no danger of someone running in to you. But overall, yes. I’d say that is a concern
Thanks for the ride. Very cool. I even got a little dizzy. Thanks again. Kelly's. Dad. Hat
Ddo you have any questions?
Yes, I would like to ask questions i already know the answer to so that the rider ahead of me gets farther away 😅
This thing was fun but omg if you're a daredevil like me and did no brakes it's fkn terrifying
I love your yells of excitement & laughter u big kid! 😂✌
I love that you have to give a thumbs up to the camera after the instructions. I can see them in court, after the high speed rear end collision, derailment and subsequent closed casket funerals. “Your honor, the defendant would like to enter into evidence, exhibit a: Mr Twinkletits giving a thumbs up to the camera before hitting his crack pipe on the lift hill…”
Haha
They could do with taking it to the top of the Mountain and having more twists and Turns in it more fun
Thanks for the video!! I have been curious about this!! Not all heros wear capes!
Hehe some heroes wear GoPros!
Wait- there’s an adventure park in Leavenworth now?!?! I used to live near there- this looks so cool!!!
That looks awesome!
Thanks mate!
I would so do that coaster! I don't like hights either lol
I just found out they have one and I'm so hyped. I really want to go on one
The view is amazing, and the ride itself is faster and more thrilling than I expected, we had a lot of fun!!
That looks fun … but SCARY af too, especially on the 2nd lap with no brakes! 😳😬
oder einfach mal die klappe halten. dieses geschwätz...

It’s the only coaster in Washington so not much competition…
@aklipi , well like I said it's not Bush Gardens or Disney land.
@@aklipiWhat are you talking about? There are nearly 11 in Washington. (I say nearly because there’s another one under construction.)
Why would you expect an alpine coaster to compare to Busch Garden's or Disney lol
Well..those are ROLLER coasters and this is an ALPINE coaster, no where near the same thing lol.
No huh'huh,,very sick this and terrible,,me no like this hahhh'😂🙄😳💈🎡😄〰️〰️Thanks this great video.
Not that fast. I'm guess around 30-50 mph. The rollercoasters from six flags mountains are a lot faster. Up to 60-70mph.
I've always found these things about as thrilling as a zip line. Which isn't very. Nice for the kids but
I will pass on that ride, but curious how much it cost, to get scared.
Not very expensive. I bought a bundle with 3 rides on the coaster, wall climbing and trampoline for a total of $60
No thank you! YIKES
Are you enjoying the scenery? Scenery is beautiful.
The scenery was amazing! Thank you!
I went on the one in Haiti @ the RC owned island, and this one compared to that one it just even looks lame lol. This one you can do without breaks due to the curves, the one in Haiti nahhhh that's a straight shot of speed down hill LOL
So fun! Wish we had one in Oklahoma.
I’m not even one second in and I’m captivated.
Beautiful scenery. Haven't been to to NW yet.
You should come visit!

That coaster is the highlight that looks fun can we go again:) 😢 #themeparklunchwithjeff541
It reminds me sl world
Whoa!!...no breaks!! 😂🎉🎉
Haha it’s a lot scarier in person…
They're all speed-governed.
That looks awesome!
So shot and not fast
I haven't visited but I've always heard that Christmas in Leavenworth is amazing.
I love the alpine coasters 😂
I feel sorry for how many times those poor workers had to repeat things to you lol. Learn to listen, it's a great skill to have
Holy nacho cheese 🧀 & chips that was short. If you want a long ride, go to Churwalden, Switzerland 🇨🇭.
Its a bit short but I love the scenery. My favorite alpine coaster is the one at Bogus Basin above Boise Idaho
That was so lame compared to so many I see. Not your video but the ride lol. It was just really short. Hopefully it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to ride
It's like $20 for 3 rides. And yes it definitely a bit too short. The view is amazing though
Looks short compared to other runs posted on You Tube.
i’m going to leavenworth today and will be going on this! so excited!!!
edit: i just went on it! sooo much fun! there is now a “no camera” rule though 😔
I know I am late to see this video but I really enjoyed it. Your excitement made it even better.😊
I’m the exception, but I love a coaster based more on speed than on slow climbs and then vertical drops.
I just got off and it was low key boring. Super short and slow af i thought it was broken when it woulnt go faster

How are you holding your camera??? I mean you also have to control that stuff , so how could you do both??
The camera is mounted to my chest so both my hands are free
Ok Thank you Bhai 🫂
Was he saying you should lean into it like on a motorcycle?
How can that make a profit for the company running it?
That ones pretty short the , the one in Tennessee is long and goes thru the mountains
There's at least 9 in the Gatlinbug/Pigeon Forge area alone. Some very short, others long, like the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster, which is over a mile but that includes the lift hill. None actually go _through_ a mountain, but most are on mountainsides.
Thumbs 👍 just in case you die...got it! Looks a little short for probably what they're charging.
Lol thanks! Definitely a bit short but it’s the only one in Washington and you can buy 3 rides for $20, so not a horrible deal
