The Canyon Blaster is an indoor roller coaster located at the Adventuredome theme park in Las Vegas. It features back-to-back vertical loops and corkscrews, and ends with a helix inside the mountain that takes up a large portion of the park. It is proclaimed as the world's largest indoor double loop double corkscrew coaster.
This attraction features two-six car trains that seat four passengers in two rows per car. When it originally opened it operated with seven car trains. In 2001, the trains were re-painted in a dark blue and deep purple heliochrome paint.
[edit] TV and Film Appearances
- Baby Geniuses - part of fictional "Joyworld" theme park, Sly starts the ride with two scientists on board and restraints still open. Both fall from the ride.
- Criss Angel Mindfreak (Season 3 Episode "Rollercoaster") - A train "goes through" Criss' body while he stands on the track after the corkscrews and Criss ends up in the front seat.
[edit] Trivia
Canyon Blaster is the second Arrow coaster to be built for an indoor amusement park. The first was Chicago Loop at the ill-fated Old Chicago in Bolingbrook, Illinois, which is now at Canobie Lake Park as Canobie Corkscrew.
