This is a single-pipe alpine coaster in Mieders, Austria. You reach the summit via a cablecar and then sit on a small car with a brake lever and off you go. Having ridden it once using a little braking, I decided to try it a second time without using the brakes. This is SCARY! Enjoy the ride!

WARNING - I have ridden almost 900 roller coasters around the world and am highly experienced with on-ride filming...so don't try to copy this. Coasters are fun, but taking risks could be dangerous. So always ride safely and abide by the operator's instructions and ride rules!

    Did you have to sit up there for ages before going so you don't get slow riders or what ?

    Most of the riders were from our coaster club, so most were going down pretty fast, and I was lucky that all the riders in front of me went down without braking too much :-)

    this looks like a lot of fun and kinda scary! But if you want to see something scary look up rides on the stratosphere tower in las vegas and this one ride will slide you down this platform and stop you at the last minute while your hanging 900 ft. above the ground

    Been up there but before X-Scream was built. The scariest thing I have done is a Sky Jump in South Korea (which they now have at the Stratosphere), where you jump off the tower attached to a vertical zip line for a controlled fall. Check out the Woobang Towerland video on my channel.

    I've decided. I'm going to Austria just for the sole purpose of riding this!
