Alpine Coaster Arthurs Seat

Adrenaline rush, light and sound show planned for Mornington cable car
 

A roller coaster-like luge ride, 360-degree viewing platforms and an immersive light and sound show are part of $25 million plans by Rich Lister Peter Gunn and NAB director Simon McKeon to turn Mornington Peninsula’s cable car ride into one of the country’s most successful tourist attractions.

….

One of the biggest attractions – especially for adrenaline junkies – will be the luge ride, which will take patrons on winding route through the bushland below the gondolas.

Mr Mulkearns said the luge ride would not be a concrete karting track like at New Zealand’s Queenstown, but a lighter-touch, more sustainable offering similar to the Alpine Coaster attraction at Thredbo Alpine Resort, which offers patrons a zippy ride along a roller coaster-like track.

lol. we're going to call it a luge despite the fact it has little resemblance to a luge because we think people might not understand what an alpine coaster is...

The second stage features the development of a luge ride between the Base and Summit Stations. The proposed track system will include an arrival and departure platform located beneath the Summit Station on a closed loop. The track is designed to utilise the natural slope of the land, offering an exhilarating experience while minimising environmental impact. The track will be built in an area that is already clear of vegetation and will use environmentally sensitive fixings to preserve the native landscape, and is part of our long-term strategy to reduce erosion and revegetate the lift line.

Big if true.

As the crow flies, its already 1km between the base and summit stations, by road its 3km (following a more steady gradient down the hill)

It could well be one of the longest Alpine Coasters in the world, no matter which way you cut it.
