I spent ten days in Denmark earlier this year at least in part due to the pandemic – there was a minimum stay required to cross the border.

As a consequence of that I found my way to a unique (and really cool) family coaster:

Riders push themselves to the top and then roll forward over some airtime bumps and around a banked 360º turn.

There's another interesting self-operated coaster here, where you pull yourself to the top of the (two) lift hills using a rope.

Does anyone know of any others?

Look and sound cool. I’d love to try something unique like that someday.

Richard,
What about that one in Wales where the riders have to pull the train up to the stattion. We rode it back in 2014.

That one still has an operator, does it not?
