Whilst in Austria, skiing, I stumbled across one of the most obscure coasters I have yet to ride - The Lucky Flitzer in Flachau, Austria. It's quintessentially classified as an Alpine Coaster, made by the German Manufacturer Wiegand, and at 1080 m is surprisingly short for an alpine coaster. The ride vehicle, designed for all weather (including snow) features a detachable cover and is propelled up the undulating lift hill by a cable lift and then speeds downhill through many convolutions and quite forceful helices. You have to manually brake the coaster; a positive aspect since you can go as fast as you wish without compromising your safety too much, although you are greatly restricted by the comparative speed of the rider in front, who, alluding to Murphy's law, most often happens to be moving at antagonizing slowness. Overall, an odd quirky coaster with a beautiful setting...for a coaster it's comparatively diminutive, but is extremely enjoyable and even slightly forceful!
