    I love the way this ride is designed. There is nothing like that on the East Coast and there is still nothing like it. This should be in Planet Coaster 2. Who’s with me?

    I like how this ride can get away with having a jagged / crooked track because it fits the old timey western mineshaft theme

      And the low speeds. In fact, it benefits from it - because the ride vehicle travels at such low speeds compared to other coasters, in order to generate G-forces everything has to be super-tight. This thing still manages ejector airtime over those small but super-sharp hills.

    This actually has the feel of a (sorta) actual runaway minecart with the design of the track and the carts themselves, and I love it!

      I'm thinking the overhead clearances in some of the interior portions aren't that great, meaning tall people could possibly get hurt having their arms up so they added the net?
      I don't know for sure, I've never been on it. The space looks tight just looking at the video.

    Indiana beach is the coolest and most unique place ever . Lost coaster is the most unique coaster and my favorite ride there . You can sit backwards or forwards and every time is a riot . One of the funnest coasters i've ever rode and leaves me with a perma grin every time . Proof you don't have to be the tallest or fastest to give you one heck of a ride . On strictly a fun factor i think it's as fun as Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point . That's right i said it .

  • @phillippi2
    @phillippi2 Рік тому +1

    Fun fact: Superstition Mountain was actually a dark ride, similar to The Den of Lost Thieves. Superstition Mountain was closed for a few years, because of the problems that it had in operation and the fact that got to be difficult to maintain. But one of the owners at the time didn't want to take the ride down because it was special to them. So they slightly remodeled the design to be used as a roller coaster. This is why there's so many hairpin turns. They were working around the layout of the dark ride.
    Another fun fact; most of the coaster runs in the opposite direction that the dark ride ran in. The train that you see at the end was one of the first things seen on the dark ride.
