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! Off-ride footage here www.youtube.com Note - for websites linking the video, please note that my name is David Ellis (the J is my middle initial).

For all those that watched my on-ride footage who wanted to know what the cars looked like, here is some off ride footage and a photo of the cars. They are small and open and for safety you just have a seatbelt across your lap. That's it. Now...who is feeling scared to ride with no brakes??

This is probably the oddest roller coaster footage you may ever see - On the day the RCCGB visited this park in 1999, a disgruntled employee wanted to get the sack...and did so by running the Outlaw coaster straight through the station with no brakes, sending it flying through the station, around hairpin bends, and halfway up the lifthill. Apparently the employee (Dennis) managed not only to get the sack, but also added about 5 years wear and tear to the coaster in under an hour. This footage is now legendary, and is something you will probably never see again on any coaster, anywhere. Hold on Tight, and enjoy the ride!

This is Tornado at M&Ds...quite possibly the worst coaster in the World. It is still the only coaster ever to cause an error message on my camcorder. This was filmed in 1999 in analogue...the footage breaks up a lot, due to the exacting forces...well, it is because the ride was dreadful! Watching this video is much better than riding it!

Taster from my upcoming DVD from the ECC South Korea and Japan Trip 2009. The Sky Jump height is 405ft but with the Tower itself being on a hill above the park and the city, the view from up there looks more like jumping off the Eiffel Tower! I will admit I was just a tad scared!
