Keltenblitz (763) - Zinkenlifte Bad Durrnberg
A mountain coaster about an hours drive from Fantasiana. As its off season they had shortened opening hours, also the coaster can't operate in the rain.
It's the first single rail style mountain coaster I've done. Unlike most however you don't ride a coaster to the top you have to ride up a chair lift which takes about 15 minutes and allows for some amazing views. At the top there's a bar/cafe which was doing great business, suppose you could go up the chairlift (or even walk up) spend a few hours and then ride the coaster back down.
The coaster itself is about 7000 foot long, and on this model you feel more exposed than the usual wiegand models.
What it also allows for is a lot more insanity in the drops and turns. Personally on the wiegand models I'll go full gas all the way down but on this I was definitely breaking on the turns to avoid being yeeted off the toboggan. It's also got a limiter as well which was probably for the best.
Just an amazing experience really. Cost about €17 but that does include the chairlift to the top.
