★★★ · The whole ride was stopped when hordes of people fell off · Spuzz · 2016-02-17
A Very scary looking train ride that sort of predates gondola rides I guess. This train ride will take you up and down Mount Tamalpais in California. Aside from the uh, lack of safety measures, (all of you in the back! Sit DOWN!) This is somewhat ho-hum.
