Alpine Coaster for Snowdonia

[DiogoJ42]

Mate... one of my oldest friends* is from Mold. I've been there... Many a time. Best thing I can say for the place is "you can visit other places from there"

* "DJ Flip-Flop", for those of you who were at fireworks last year.

I'd expect a season pass for £15!

I don't see how they can justify that.

 

[Rob]

£15 for just the alpine coaster!? That surely can't be right? The Hasenhorn Rodelbahn at Todtnau costs €9.50 a go (including the chair lift up) and I doubt this one is going to be as spectacular or thrilling.

 

[Poisson]

It's about a third longer than Sommerrodelbahn at Alpin Center Bottrop, so a third extra cost? Nope, €3.50 for the Rodelbahn, £15 in Wales :O You could get a 5 card and a drink for the same cost in Bottrop.


I suppose it's a cred though...

It's probably taking into account the costs of brexit.

The ziplines at those venues aren't cheap either. Sure, they look spectacular, but they're £60 each! It's a bargain in comparison.

Depends what you perceive value as I guess.

We paid £40 each online for Zipworld (velocity.) There are two ziplines, but it takes an age to get up the mountain/hill to the top, its almost like a little tour. I mean, being a self confessed adrenaline junkie, I thought it was good value. No roller-coaster or drop tower could come close to this Zipline, Compared to skydiving, bungee jumping or base jumping, it's actually really good 'value.'

There is a lot to do around there too, You have bounce below, both of the zipworlds, plenty of climbing/hiking, plenty of decent hotels and pubs, now this alpine coaster... Sure I'll give it it go next time I'm up there. £15 or not.

Maybe they'll like, do a voucher or something

 

[Sm1lingAdvocate]

Just a shame that it's going to be £15 a go!

Swear I saw something about a three ride deal for that price, don't shoot me if I'm. Wrong though.

Sawn off shotgun to your head mate, better pray it is right

There's this on Facebook:

Work on the new Zip World Fforest Coaster is coming along nicely! First of it's kind in the U.K.

Buy your vouchers for Fforest Coaster at the introductory price offer of £15 for 3 rides here!

But the website has me a bit confused. I have no idea whats happening with it but £5 a ride is fair enough

 

[Jonathan]

Well, if it does turn out to be £15 for 3 rides (and thus effectively £5 for one), that's a lot more reasonable!

I enjoyed Velocity and think we paid £40 or so, but it has now gone up to £60!
