In July 1978, less than a year after they opened the Alpine Slide, developers Wally Wright and John Prince approached the city about building another ride under Park City (Mountain) Resort’s Payday chairlift.
Think of it as the Alpine Slide on steroids.
Like the slide, it would use gravity for propulsion. But unlike the slide, the 3,000-foot ride would be mostly enclosed, with a 32-foot loop sending riders upside down where the lift passed under the gondola (since removed). And the individual cars would have no brakes. Prince described it as “a pure thrill ride.”
