BC is getting a new mountain coaster that takes you through the rainforest (VIDEO)

If Revelstoke isn’t on your summer itinerary already, it definitely should be. Lush temperate rainforest, towering mountains, and beautiful flowers and wildlife all await, and Revelstoke’s Mountain Resort has front-row seats to it all. What’s more, the resort is doubling the fun this summer with a new mountain coaster ride!

The OG Pipe Mountain Coaster introduced adrenaline junkies to 1.4 km of heart-racing, scenic fun, and Pipe Mountain Coaster #2 promises to be even more memorable.

With just over 2 km of monorail, the new ride will take passengers to exciting new heights, no pun intended. According to the resort’s website, riders will get to experience new points of view around the mountain as they journey through two tunnels and pass through one of the most beautiful sections of BC’s inland rainforest.
