Yeah — they still have the Alpine Slide… and they expanded the summer things like crazy. They have a bunch of other things that you’ll never find me on… It’s actually crazy how much they’ve added. A full amusement park basically. http://www.bromley.com/attractions
I haven’t been up there since off these new shenanigans were installed. And, yes, I use the word shenanigans a lot. If Rob can say he’s “chary” about everything… I can refer to everything as shenanigans.
When they were first expanding (many many years ago) to add other things other than the Alpine Slide, they added this mountain cart thing. Basically, you road down the East Meadow ski trail *head first* on this contraption that looked like a Malibu Barbie bike. The course was lined with hay bails and you were given a helmet… though I’m not sure how the helmet would protect you when you made your body into a missile.
I drink water and coffee (and beer/wine/booze obvi). No soda or juice or anything else. And no ice unless I’m having a cocktail at a bar and I’m drinking something that calls for it. Ice is slimy and takes up space.
Cobble, I’m not too big on juice either…occasionally I’ll have some OJ or make a small thing of Crystal Light, but I’m basically a water or beer kinda girl. Picky!
“I used to love the alpine slide at Bromley! Do they still have it? I used to go there as a kid in the late 80s.”
Jackal, I believe that not only is it still there, but they’ve improved on the sleds and course design, and I think they also added a water slide.
