Does anyone recall an old ride that I think was on Grouse Mountain, late 70's/80's, that was a sort of rail guided tobaggan type thing?
You sat on a plastic sled of sorts, I seem to recall it had a hand brake, and you shot down the mountain on a railed track?
 
im way to young to remember it but when i worked there back in 2000 just out of high school i have heard stories about that ride it used to be on the cut....thats all i know about it they dont even have pics of it kinda weird i thought?
 
I have vague memories of it. I was just looking of some pics of the OLd Skyline Chairlift.
 
I sorta remember it. It was an old wooden ride, slightly elevated off the ground. I'm pretty sure it disappeared in the mid to late 70's though.
 
I never rode it, but I remember it. It was definitely there into the early 80s. I moved to Vancouver in 1980 and it was there for a couple years after that.
Looked kinda freaky, I seem to remember my mother forbidding me to go anywhere near it...
