  • Backlot Stunt Coaster


    Originally themed after the Paramount movie The Italian Job, this coaster boasts a track that takes riders through a parking garage, dodges around police cars, dives into subway tunnels, and gets blown up! You'll also speed through the dark in the underground aqueduct and burst through a billboard before 'splashing down', diving under the bridge and slamming on the brakes. This ride is a decent representation of the movie and is a great coaster for families that like things a little wilder to enjoy all at once.
