Pike Mountain Coaster.

Post by Ken7 »

Did anyone see the Pike Mountain Coaster ride which is located in Revelstoke? That looks like quite the ride, peek speed of 40 kms a hour.

What are your thoughts if one was put on the ski hills which might be a way to come back off the mountain to the parking lot.

This video I posted is in Austria as I did not have one from Pike, I think it would be a cool ride!

40km/h? That's unsafe, they should lower it to 30km/h ;)

Seriously though, it looks like fun - quite a bit different then the one we had here in Vernon many years ago. Can't wait to try it out and I hope it does well :)

40 kms is no fast then you would pedal a bike down the hill on Bernard. I think that would not be too fast, but a bit of thrill.

Do you mean in the winter, when there's 6' of snow on the ground?

Looks like fun. I'll be in Revelstoke a couple of times this spring so I'll go check it out. I remember the old bobsled type ride they had a Vernon. That was a lot of fun too.

Not sure about the Revelstoke Coaster but the one where the lady gets rear ended appears capable of causing neck and back injuries. Anyone know what the braking capabilities are for the one in Revelstoke ??
