| - They have a new "luge experience" ride at C.O.P. It just opened this past June. The attendant at the chairlift, said it was suppose to open last summer.
Okay, so for around $50.00, 4 people can take two rides up and down the hill at C.O.P. Then two more can take a third run. I purchased the "family" ride pass and that entitled us to do that as many as times as we did.
You can ride a ski lift/chairlift up to the top 3 People max. to a chairlift. and a robotic arm loads your sled. It's a nice 7 min. or so ride to the top of the hill.
You get a quick lesson at the top, on how to operate the sled. middle position of the handle bars, and you can go full speed. Pull back on the bar, and that's the brakes. Let go of the handle bar, and that stops the sled as well.
The course itself is pretty fun, it winds itself down the hill and you can pick up some good speed. They have a couple of areas that read "slow" I sorta ignored them.
Overall, I had a good time with the family doing this. I would say, if you have a couple of hours to kill one afternoon it's definitely worth the time.
I also read that they have a $99.00 special for a zipline/bobsled experience.
If you have older kids or a kid at heart this might be more for you.
I have smallerish boys, so it was tame enough for them
I will def. try it again sometime.
