Massive BC mountain coaster may be one of the fastest in Canada
One of the most popular attractions in the BC Interior is open for the summer, and it just might be the thrill ride of the season.
Revelstoke Mountain Resort is home to The Pipe Mountain Coaster, a family-friendly activity that offers scenic views of the hills, the Columbia River, and the year-round destination.

The gravity-fed coaster features two tracks to choose from during the heart of summer, operating from June 22 until September 4. Both stretch for 1.4 km in length, taking different routes across ski runs, through a tunnel, and passing by stunning natural beauty.
Riders can expect speeds of up to 42 km/h (26mph) and a 279-metre vertical drop, though drivers of the cart control a hand break so they can control their speed.
