Washington State's first alpine coaster has just opened. It's based in Leavenworth - which is a cheesy Bavarian-themed village in the Cascades about a 2 hour drive away. The alpine coaster is interesting in that it's not like a roller coaster but instead you're attached to a track and you can use levers to go down at the speed you want. Enjoy the views or go down as quick as you can. I'm not sure how appealing it is to me - I don't think the views are any better than what you could get hiking in the area. And frankly I have no idea what the weight capacity is for a ride like this, and whether I could even do it. But it does have a certain curiosity factor.
