What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

Silver Star at Europa Park last Monday! Not the most forceful ride but still a lot of fun! Did you say airtime?! -
Europa Park Discussion Thread

I am going to Europa Park tomorrow! I hope to see some tests! -
A few days ago, while skiing in Arosa-Lenzerheide I had a chance to ride this amazing Intamin creation! I know it is neither a roller coaster nor it is located in an amusement park but this thing is so awesome it really should be in this section of the forum! In case you wander, it is called Tschuggen Express, it is located in Arosa and it just connect the Grand Hotel Tschuggen with the ski slopes! According to Intamin's brochure, it is 528 meters long, it has a maximum inclination of 52% (more than 45°) and it reaches a speed of 4 m/s (14 km/h). Here's the photos! Here it is! Operating hours and other important information! Loading plattform! Here it comes! Photos were taken with my cell phone (Nokia 5800) and there is also a glass! Me! Very luxurious Intamin seats! That's the hotel! To operate the monorail, just press the Start button when you are ready to leave! Going back to the ski slopes! Intamin track! This is really cool! Spring is coming and snow is melting! Almost there! Back into the station!
