VAIL SUCKS

[thetrailboss]

Park City's mountain coaster is way bigger than Snowbird's coaster. It's so long you can see it from pretty far away on 224. That said, I almost seriously injured myself on Snowbirds coaster, so length isn't the be all end all in terms of mountain coaster extremism.

What happened?

What happened?

I was racing at Snowbird & trying to catch up so I used no break at all & ejected from the mountain coaster. Luckily the pipe held me but I slid down quite a ways. To give an idea of the speed involved my polyester shirt melted onto my skin. I kept the shirt & it has a big hole in the shoulder. Hurt for several weeks.

Vail got rid of the fastest PC coaster about 5 years ago due to fear of lawsuits. I was told ambulances were there nearly every day.

We plan on going to Snowbird's Octoberfest next weekend. I won't be going anywhere near the mountain coaster.
