If you are looking for a thrilling ride this spring and summer how about riding the longest mountain coaster in, not only the United States but in all of North America? Not far from the Capital Region, it runs to the bottom of Mt. Van Hoevenberg. It's the Cliffside Coaster in Lake Placid.
What is The Cliffside Coaster?
The Cliffside Coaster is a heart-pounding adrenaline rush ride along the 1932 and 1980 Lake Placid bobsled track. It's a seven thousand-foot-long mountain coaster that will time your ride just like you were on the bobsled track. You can feel what it was like to be an Olympic Bobsledder during the Winter Games in Lake Placid back in the day. You get to control the speed of your ride as you navigate sharp corners, cliffside banks, and the long winding track.
On the Cliffside Coaster website, the President and CEO of the Olympic Regional Development Authority said,
The views are amazing, and the curves get your heart pounding. Everyone will feel like they deserve a medal.
