A proposed amusement ride focused more on views than stomach-dropping thrills is set to go before the Helen City Commission Tuesday for a public hearing and possible final vote. Terry Sims, owner of Cool River Tubing in Helen, is looking to bring the “alpine coaster” to the popular North Georgia tourist town. Alpine coasters are not the same as roller coasters, Sims has said.
