Backlot Stunt Coaster

Backlot Stunt Coaster ist der Name mehrerer baugleicher Stahlachterbahnen vom Modell LIM Terrain Following Coaster des Herstellers Premier Rides in Paramount Parks der Cedar-Fair-Gruppe. Die Bahnen trugen ursprünglich Namen nach dem Film The Italian Job – Jagd auf Millionen, wurden aber nach dem Verkauf der Parks an Cedar Fair aus Lizenzgründen umbenannt. Backlot Stunt Coaster (Canada’s Wonderland) Am 1. Mai 2005 als Italian Job: Stunt Track eröffnet in Canada’s Wonderland (Vaughan, Ontario, Kanada) war Backlot Stunt Coaster die erste der drei Bahnen. Die Bahn steht auf einem 5200 m² großen Areal am Rand des Parks und ist von einer Wasserfläche umschlossen. Backlot Stunt Coaster (Kings Island) Kurze Zeit später, am 20. Mai 2005, eröffnete unter dem gleichen Namen Italian Job: Stunt Track der heutige Backlot Stunt Coaster in Kings Island (Kings Mills, Ohio, USA). Um Platz für die Anlage zentral im Park gelegen zu machen, wurde die Attraktion Antique Cars abgerissen. Backlot Stunt Coaster (Kings Dominion) Backlot Stunt Coaster in Kings Dominion (Doswell, Virginia, USA) eröffnete ein Jahr später am 27. Mai 2006 als Italian Job Turbo Coaster. Die Bahn belegt den Platz an der vorher die Wildwasserbahn Diamond Falls, sowie FreeFallin, eine Mischung verschiedener Wasserrutschen und der Kinderbereich des Wasserparks standen. Fahrt Die Thematisierung richtet sich nach der Verfolgungsszene am Ende des 2003 erschienenen Films The Italian Job – Jagd auf Millionen. Die Wagen sind nach dem MINI Cooper im 3/4-Maßstab gestaltet und bieten jeweils Platz für vier Personen. Die drei Züge bestehen aus jeweils drei Wagen in blau, rot und weiß. Nach der Station wird der Zug auf der ersten nur 31 Meter langen, mit Linearmotor-Antrieb ausgestatteten, Beschleunigungsstrecke auf 64,4 km/h beschleunigt. Er fährt eine als Parkhausauffahrt gestaltete zweieinhalbfache Helix auf elf Meter Schienenhöhe hinauf. Es folgt die mit 9,5 Metern höchste Abfahrt der Anlage. In Schlangenlinien führt die Strecke zwischen Polizeifahrzeugen hindurch und durch eine überhöhte 180°-Kurve. Nach einem Hügel folgt eine S-Kurve und ein Absturz in einen als U-Bahn-Schacht gestalteten Tunnel. Nach dem Tunnel hält der Zug in einer scheinbaren Sackgasse an. Begleitet von Feuer-, Wasser- und Pyrotechnik-Spezialeffekten wird der Zug von einem Polizeihubschrauber „beschossen“. Der zweite sechs Meter lange LIM-Antrieb beschleunigt den Zug wieder auf 25 km/h hinein in einen als Lagerhalle gestalteten Tunnel. Nach einigen Kurven folgt eine dritte kurze Beschleunigung, nach der der Zug über eine Rampe durch eine Plakatwand wieder nach draußen fährt. Es folgt noch eine 180°-Kurve und die Schlussbremse.

Backlot Stunt Coaster

Backlot Stunt Coaster sont des montagnes russes lancées de trois parcs du groupe Cedar Fair. Elles se situent à Canada's Wonderland, à Vaughan, en Ontario, au Canada et à Kings Dominion, à Doswell, en Virginie et à Kings Island, à Mason, en Ohio, aux États-Unis. Elles ont été construites par Premier Rides. Histoire Les deux premières montagnes russes ont ouvert sous le nom Italian Job: Stunt Track à Canada's Wonderland et à Kings Island en mai 2005. Une année plus tard, Kings Dominion a ouvert les troisièmes montagnes russes sous le nom Italian Job: Turbo Coaster. Les trois avaient des thèmes similaires qui tournaient autour de la scène sur le climat à la fin du film Braquage à l'italienne (The Italian Job en anglais), sorti en 2003. L'attraction avait des wagons qui ressemblaient à des Mini Coopers à l'échelle 3/4. Il y avait des effets spéciaux sur le parcours. À la fin de la saison 2007, les trois attractions ont été renommées Backlot Stunt Coaster. Des effets spéciaux ont été modifiés pour enlever les références au film et rendre le thème plus général. Les Mini Coopers ont été enlevées pour la saison 2010. Description Le train est accéléré de 0 à 64,4 km/h et va dans un "parking" de trois étages. Il fait deux hélices montantes qui imitent la montée d'une voiture dans un vrai garage. Il descend et va dans une "rue" bordée de panneaux de signalisation routière et trois voitures de police, avec des sirènes et des lumières clignotantes. Il slalome entre les policiers et fait un virage à gauche incliné à 88 degrés. Après une bosse et quelques virages, le train s'arrête devant un tunnel. Il y a un deuxième lancement. Le train tourne, monte et descend dans le noir. Il ressort du bâtiment et arrive à la gare. Trains Backlot Stunt Coaster a trois trains de trois wagons. Les passagers sont placés à deux sur deux rangs pour un total de douze passagers par train. À l'origine, les trains ressemblaient à des Mini Coopers peintes en blanc, rouges ou blanc, comme dans Braquage à l'italienne. À la fin de la saison 2010, Cedar Fair n'avait plus la licence pour utiliser des Mini Coopers sur le Backlot Stunt Coaster. À cause de ça, les trains ont été simplifiés et ne ressemblent plus à une marque de voitures spécifique.
