Alpine Coaster: If you love speed, heights, thrill, and rollercoaster rides, this ride is for you. The track itself is 3,400 feet long with lots of sharp turns, waves, and fun. This ride is affixed to the track, so you are fully secured. The ride relies on momentum and you can control the speed.
This was my favorite ride!
Haunted Mine Drop: This is a drop ride of 110 ft, and the first drop ride I have ever been on. It is inside a building which adds a bit of suspense. I am not going to spoil what happens, but I did not expect the direction it would go. Talk about a thrill ride. Another ride that you cannot miss for sure.
Soaring Eagle Zip Ride: I really thought this was going to be a relaxing zip ride where you can enjoy the mountain views. I was so so so wrong! I was so terrified because it pulls you backwards 600 feet up the mountain while your feet are just dangling. It pauses for a second then shoots you back to the beginning and ends in the most abrupt stop. Not for the faint of heart.
Apparently, you’re supposed to feel like a soaring eagle. Sure, an anxious one maybe.
The Glenwood Canyon Flyer: This is not your regular swing flyer ride that you typically see in amusement parks. It is sitting on the edge of the mountain. When the canyon flyer slowly begins to spin, you can still see the platform underneath you. As you reach the maximum speed of the spin, you are taken to the edge of the mountain where you swing over the cliff and suddenly, you feel like you have no control over your life anymore.
As dramatic as it sounds, it was equally as terrifying and fun. You cannot miss this one.
Giant Canyon Swing: I did not ride this one because I don’t do well with rides that swing back and forth, but I have included some photos.
The rest of the rides were either for children or closed due to the season and/or maintenance.

I’m going to use this to plan a trip, thank you girl. Side question, what kind of hiking boots do you have? They look nice and I’m overdue for some new ones hehe
I’m so sorry just seeing this now. They are Cabela’s! I got them from goodwill for $15.
