A truly remarkable feat of engineering, the Cliffside Coaster has been spinning ticket holders all around a 1.4-mile-long Olympic sliding track since 2020. The ride was actually originally used during the 1980 Olympic winter games in Lake Placid: it was part of the bobsledding competition. What's more, the experience, which takes about eight minutes from start to finish, also boasts a timing and audio system that has participants feel like they're actually part of that Olympic event.
'The views are amazing, and the curves get your heart pounding,' Olympic Regional Development Authority President & CEO Mike Pratt said in 2020. 'Everyone will feel like they deserve a medal.' In addition to the adrenaline rush, riders constantly talk about the beauty involved in seeing the gorgeous fall leaves all around you while speeding through the course.
