Today I had the lucky oppurtunity to head up into the mountains of Glenwood Springs, Colorado and ride the US's first Alpine Coaster. It was VERY, VERY fun, as the speed was crazy and there was even pops of air to be found throughout the ride. I'll say more in the photo captions.
The park (which is on top of a mountain, requiring trams to get to) also had a homemade looking Screamin' Swing that swings you 1200 feet over the Colorado River below!
Now onto the photos!
crazy nice views from the park
I went straight to the coaster

They did have onride photos...but I wasnt paying 20 bucks for it
