good find there cool5. I actually thought the lift was quick and quiet, i'm intrigued. The long straight sections were cool with a good control of pacing. Did the ride actually have jog wheels?

Its almsot 100 years old and is a side friction coaster with a manual brakeman that is actually on the train itself.

Oh. Well, if it's a hundred years old, my previous comment may be disrespectful. This looks like a feat of engineering for its time.

A scenic railway is a type of side friction coaster.

It's a cool ride, those benches have springs underneath the seats. So when going down drops you'd get extra airtime from those springs.

^Yeah I've never seen that before, it's pretty cool though. And having springs in the seats is an awesome idea[:p]
