Alpine Coaster at Leavenworth Adventure Park | Honest Review

My buddy and I are checking out the brand new Leavenworth Adventure Park in Leavenworth, WA. The highlight of the park is the Alpine Coaster.

Thanks for filming this — we love going to Leavenworth and have wondered about this ride for a while.

Cool video. I camped on top of that hill where the coaster is the whole summer of 1995, worked across the street at the gas station. Those were the days, dirt bag rock climber and ski bum at Steven's Pass.

I felt like I was on this rollercoaster with you like. Literally, thank you so much for the video.

We were just in Leavenworth this summer. No idea there was one of these babies!!!! Definitely going to check it out next time!

I love your yells of excitement & laughter u big kid! 😂✌

I love Alpine Coasters! The first one I ever experienced was in Vilseck Germany while going through an Army Small Arms Maintenance course. Then back in Fall 2019 I road tripped traveled through 9 states East of Colorado and once I got to the Eastern Tennessee Gatlinburg town area in the Smokey Mountains there are like 2-3 dozen of the Alpine Coasters and I did about a dozen of them. So much fun!

Wait- there’s an adventure park in Leavenworth now?!?! I used to live near there- this looks so cool!!!

Gotta love the spiked fence surrounding the trampoline

Thanks for the ride. Very cool. I even got a little dizzy. Thanks again. Kelly's. Dad. Hat

That has to be the same maker and installer that did the Canyon Coaster in Williams AZ. Just went on that about a month ago, and it was fun, but the chicanes were a bit rough. I couldn't leave it flat out no brakes the whole time, as I felt like I had to balance concentrating on keeping tension in my arms to hold the levers down vs just having fun and going with the motion.

I’m disappointed to learn that Washington States first Alpine Coaster is so small. Oh well it’s a good beginning. There’s a mountain south east of downtown Leavenworth with a road on top called Nighthawk Ridge Lane that would have been perfect for a long Alpine Coaster. Someday I will still ride it as I have never been on an Alpine coaster. I have tried that trampoline with the bungee cords attached to a harness on your waist while visiting in Whistler Village, British Columbia, Canada.

I worked for Osprey white water rafting company in Leavenworth. It remains my favorite “job” ever!

Thanks for the video!! I have been curious about this!! Not all heros wear capes!

Rode a coaster just like this in South Dakota near Deadwood. So excited to find out that they built one in my home state just a couple of hours away. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool! Hoping to take my two kids this year while we're there for Oktoberfest. Neither one is big enough to ride alone so it looks like ol' Dad gets to go twice! 😂

I was really skeptical about this installation but now that it’s done, I really like the experience it provides visitors to my area. It’s close to an arcade so it feels like an extension of a favorite gathering place for events, it utilizes a hill that sits close enough to walk from front street, and didn’t sacrifice much for locals. The coaster is not noisy, some of us were concerned it would be a constant noise that would frighten wildlife and be annoying to listen to for long periods, but it is far quieter than the highway. I really like that this provides accessible fun to people who may not be comfortable or able to do things like ski or hike into the enchantments! I would like to see Leavenworth expand in more ways that do not exclude locals or damage their favorite places. I think they need to bring the big renaissance faire back, I think they need to get a log rolling event going down at blackbird. And they need to bring back Krampusnacht and do something fun for Halloween for adults that isn’t all Oktoberfest

How neat! I'd love to go. I'm just in Coeur d'Alene Idaho, so not too far away at all. 😊😊😊

[kononsmf]

I just found out they have one and I'm so hyped. I really want to go on one

[dallastrujillo]

Omg I gotta drive there from Portland just to do THAT! Right on!

We just got one of these in Williams Arizona, which I saw on another video. Leavenworth must be a great backdrop--my Dad used to love going there when he had to fly to Seattle while working for the government. I went on something similar, an alpine slide that was at Boreal Ridge ski park in California just past Donner summit. That had no rails guiding the kart--it was just a cement track with banked turns and drops of about the same steepness, so brakes had to be applied to avoid going too high up in the bank.

Fun video to watch, enjoyed your commentary!
