A linear induction motor launch coaster, Backlot Stunt Coaster is themed
after the chase scene at the end of the film Italian Job. The train consists of three cars, each
seating four riders, two across, that look like exactly that – cars. From the station the train is launched in 3
seconds from 0 to 40 mph and enters a right upward helix before dropping,
veering right and going through several mainly left-banked turns. While this is happening, it passes police
cars and highway signs. It comes to a
stop and there is a second launch into a tunnel. In total darkness the train twists around
several times before emerging into daylight, banking left and heading back to
the station. As originally designed by
Premier Rides, the coaster featured numerous special effects but most of these
have been removed. I actually rode this
coaster by accident, thinking that I had entered the queue for a completely
different coaster, but found the ride to be highly entertaining. Backlot Stunt Coaster gets 3 out of 5
stars. Photo courtesy of Canada ’s
