I can't imagine the headlines this ride would generate in the US.

Holy WOW! What absolute fun that would be! Now that is a ride? Wonder if the breaks are part of the system or manual?

Now THAT looks like fun. I think they have something similar in the Smokies somewhere.

There’s “something” like this in Breckenridge, CO. Basically a concrete half-pipe that winds down the mountain (video below). They have brakes on that one... In fact, some little kid in front of me used his brakes a little too much and cramped my style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AcYhsyeUUk

"Wonder if the breaks are part of the system or manual?"

Each car has its own brake. Watch the teen girl go down apparently without using the brake much. Lots faster.

yup, that's like the one we have here at Song Mountain and you wait as looong as possible after the person in front of you starts so you don't have to slow down when you catch them... and it WILL go off if you're not careful
