1. Looks like fun

Other than the side to side banging on some of those curves. You could hear the rider grunt on those lol.

2. I wonder how they get the carts back

on top the mountain. That's a long way down the mountain.

3. That would be fun!

It looks a LOT like a trail I used to ski often.

4. Fun stuff

I rode the Alpine coaster at Mountain Meadows on Mt. Hood in Oregon ?20? yrs ago, and while getting up to speed near the top I was looking ahead at the track below and saw a 'sled' take off of the track into the large rocks. I rode by too fast to discern details, but warned the attendant at the end of the ride that the sled ahead of me didn't make it. Here's a video of the slide, but not the accident that I saw.

5. This style is unsafe

rail types are locked on the track
