5.2. Guide to Choosing a Toboggan Cart and Securing Your Seat

Choosing a Toboggan Cart Position: On days with many visitors, the order of carts will be arranged according to the order of ticket purchase and queuing at the toboggan area. However, on days with few visitors, you can choose your own cart order according to your preference.

If you are a speed enthusiast, love adventure, and seek thrilling experiences, you should choose the front carts. Conversely, if you prefer a moderate, leisurely pace to admire the natural scenery here, choose the rear carts, especially those at the end of the line. This is because then you can comfortably brake, breathe in the fresh air, without worrying about affecting the toboggan cart behind you.

If you are not too interested in thrilling experiences, visitors should choose the rear sleds (Source: Internet)

Choose a seating position: Because the sled's lever is at the back, the operator needs to sit in the rear to control the sled's speed. The front position is suitable for women, children, or the elderly who want to admire the scenery while sliding.

Note: Visitors should not stand up while the vehicle is moving, do not carry bulky items, to avoid affecting the vehicle's movement and control. Additionally, women riding the sled should not wear short skirts above the knee to avoid indecent exposure during the ride.

Here are some basic notes and instructions for visitors before experiencing the Ba Den Mountain slide:

Brake at locations with signs or flags: At winding turns on the track, there will be signs and colorful flags to alert visitors. When you see these signs, slow down your sled to ensure safety.

Stay calm at speed reduction points: There are speed reduction bumps on the track at the turns, so visitors do not need to worry too much when the sled reaches these points.

Pose for the camera: After hearing the announcement that you are approaching the automatic camera area, slow down your sled and pose facing the camera on the side of the track (there is a sign next to the camera).

Only unbuckle the safety belt at the “End of the slide” sign: Visitors should not rush to unbuckle the safety belt and get out of the sled, but should remain seated, wait until the sled has fully reached the designated area with signs, and follow instructions from the staff.
