Canyon Blaster at Circus Circus Review
| Ride facts Max Length: 2,000 feet Max Height: 90 feet Biggest Drop: 90 feet Max Speed: 55 mph Ride Duration: 1 minute 45 seconds Capacity: 28 people per ride; two trains available Designer: Arrow Dynamics, Clearfield, Utah Special Features: 74- and 72-foot vertical loops followed by a two-inversion corkscrew. First drop: 45 degrees. Ride is interactive with Rim Runner flume ride. |
One of the first four rides at the park when it opened in 1993 as Grand Slam Canyon, the roller coaster is the United States' only indoor double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster.
Stretching 90 feet into the air, the coaster provides a one-of-a-kind view of the Adventuredome, from the Rim Runner to the The Sling Shot. The ride also includes a close encounter with Chaos in one segment.
Definitely one of the best roller coasters in town, and if it's thrills you are seeking, Canyon Blaster is a must-see.
