Breckenridge Thrill Rides

Are you looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush? The Superslide at Breckenridge is built as a giant slalom course, including dips and steep turns that are most appropriate for an experienced slider. There is also a slalom track where novices practice their sledding skills. Just 90 minutes away in Glenwood Springs you can enjoy great white-knuckle thrill rides like the Alpine Coaster, the Swing Shot and bungee trampolines. All of these activities are safe and loads of fun, but they are not for the faint of heart. Younger kids can enjoy all the thrills of the Wild West Wagon Ride and 4-D Theater at Glenwood Springs Adventure Park. The historic mining town of Leadville, Colorado is only a short, scenic drive from Summit County. Here you will find spectacular views and volumes of living history. Winding through this breathtaking, historically rich landscape is the Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad. <br> Originating in "the highest incorporated city in North America," the LC&S takes passengers along the old Denver, South Park & Pacific and Colorado & Southern lines to the Continental Divide. This ride is full of breathtaking panoramas across the Arkansas River Valley and informational narratives about Leadville's storied history. Mining and railroading were a large part of the local history, and today's passengers will find it easy to step back in time on the Leadville, Colorado & Southern. Throughout the summer months the Leadville Co. & Southern Railroad offers themed rides such as murder mystery rides or wildflower viewing rides. Call ahead for their schedule of summer offerings.
