    Mountain Coaster

    One or two passengers can ride individual carts that glide along tubular rails. Carts are pulled uphill by a cable before the cart disengages, and gravity takes over. The downhill track is designed with swooping turns, banked corners and giant loops through the forest. Each cart is equipped with its own braking system, allowing the "driver" to slow to a comfortable pace or let it rip at full speed.
