History
Features
The Alpine slide, for which the park is named, has riders go down one of two 0.25 mi (0.40 km) cement slides on wheeled sleds. The Mineshaft Coaster is approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) long and lasts 7 to 9 minutes, peaking at 30 mph (48 km/h).[5][6] The track includes hairpin turns, tunnels, and corkscrew turns that are built into the mountain. Riders can control the speed and braking of the coaster. Other attractions include go-karts, an 18-hole miniature golf course, snow tubing, a fast and short sky ride called the Soaring Eagle, and two water slides. The water slide is only available to be ridden in the summer and one can only participate in the go-karts, miniature golf, and snow tubing in the winter.[1] There is also a snack bar.[2][7][8][9]
