Ahh, one of my favorites. This is the ride my cousins and I would jump on when there was like half an hour left before the whole park closes for the day. The reason being is that, once the ride was over, there would rarely be anyone else wanting to get on Minebuster at this point. So instead of leaving the ride, the operator would let us stay in the carts and just let us ride it all over again. We went on Minebuster like nine times once without getting off lol good times

[@----5247]

Honestly, half hour before close, you had your pick of non-top tier rides for unlimited goes

[@wilfstor3078]

Well, it's back to being the Spinebuster, I took my dad on it for the first time in like 20 years a few days ago, and it gave me a bruise on the side of my head, and when the ride was over, my dad actually asked me if I had been trying to kill him.

[@kanadiankandy6647]

Definitely a classic lol it’s fun. Was my first coaster when I was little

[@johngibson4939]

I was born and raised in Cincinnati. The Shooting Star was my first adult roller-coaster. So glad to see this mirror image layout and so happy the memory of the great Shooting Star lives on in this coaster.

[@GaryJones2012]

One of my favorite memories of my daughter, Heather. We went to Canada's Wonderland right after it opened. On our first ride on this coaster we sat in the front and I told her to hold her hands up and the first person to grab the rail lost. She dropped her hands on the first jarring curve. As soon as the ride ended we ran around to ride again, which we did for hours. After a few times holding our hands up as we crested the first lift I said let's scream "We're all gong to die!". Some of the people on that ride ran around and went on again and soon everyone on the coaster was screaming "We're all going to die!" as we crested the lift. Later in the day as wandered around close to the coaster we laughed when we heard everyone riding the coaster screaming "We're all going to die!" That was a whole lot of years ago and unfortunately my daughter abandoned me long ago for reasons I've never known, but this was one of my favorite memories with her.

[@ryan.s7758]

Hey Gary. Sorry to hear about what happend between you and your daughter, she sounds like a wonderful women who was raised by a family that loved her very much. I know a friend who also walked away from his family and I think it’s important to know that sometimes it’s really no one’s fault but unfortunate circumstances we’re put in. I can only guess she had her reasonings but I’m CERTAIN that this is also one of her favorites memories that she’ll look back to from time to time. Keep positive Gary, I pray that your family will be reunited one day or another

[@songoku_6446]

Tip for this ride, sit in the front and don't sit on a wheel seat, the wheel seats are the ones that hurt. Last time I rode this my gf wanted to sit in the way back, worst mistake ever it felt like I pulled something at the drop after the turn around

[@p1xel.slxt.]

Thanks im going next Wednesday and I didn't know this tip

[@MrLeviathan264]

I broke my toe at the drop in the wheel seats

[@adrenalinerush5862]

Keep pumping out these great POV’s, Wonderland!

[@erinpoland5662]

Here’s a little tip, if you want to ride the mine buster, sit in the front. If you want to ride the spine buster, sit in the back.

[@demonpride1975]

just as i remember it from 30 years ago. such a fun ride, going into the shed was kinda scary the first time, but it quickly became my favorite coaster.

[@ammoniacloudz34]

[@eccentricgamer4111]

I know people have been advocating for Minebuster to get the RMC treatment, but personally, I don't think it would work very well due to its out-and-back layout. I'd much rather have GCI come in and give it a thorough retracking before putting on Millennium Flyer trains. RMC is free to have Wild Beast, though.

[@rfought_6902]

They can’t do either due to the Canadian law: “you can’t hire a company outside of Canada to do something a Canadian company can already do

[@Morris-3341]

I have never heard of that law

[@surferdude4487]

I remember when this ride was new. About the best wooden coaster I've ever been on. It was drizzling off and on most of the day, it was a weekday and there were very few people in the park. We went on this ride seven times in a row, running from the exit and back on again. We did the same on the Wild Beast and the Dragon Fire. What a day!

[@auralyte0]

[@n1thmusic229]

My uncle called this the spine buster, My dad went on it in the 80s didn’t notice the Do Not Stand Up sign because he was too busy standing up. In 2019 I visited the park for the first time, second ride I ever went on, the tunnel was a really neat idea

[@rebeccastolp-romanowicz2816]

[@gopn6748]

I love this ride lmao. Me and my 2 other friends went on this like 11 times in a row and there were times where the water above us from the waterslide would fall onto us or some drops of water would splash on us

[@djliquidsmoke]

I used to ride this coaster when i was a kid, somewhere around 1986-1989. I remember that Ontario advertised it on Their CBC commercials waaaaay back. Can't believe its still around. it was smooth back then, i'm sure 35 years has made it practically unrideable. Thanks for uploading this piece of my childhood. None of that other stuff was there back then, it was all grass and trees around, no water rides or steel coasters around it.

[@cheerio4000]

It’s definitely not unridable since they’ve replaced certain parts of the track, but it certainly isn’t pleasant

[@thundercracker900]

I love this and the wild beast !! everytime I go there I always go on these rides lol. Best is at night time !

[@Ambrozxc]

Its fun and all with great airtime hills but the part at the end when you start entering the tunnel is the park where you are experiencing strong hits from left to right, but it's still a good one.

[@NathanielVassallo]

Bro this is my all-time favourite ride ❤

[@KWHCoaster]

Great ride!! Usually get on once every visit to the park. Miss those 1990 lap bars when a single rider could sit in the center of the seat. Likewise for Wilde Beast and Ghoster Coaster. Not the mention the extra thrill going over the hills. Still remember when I first rode it after Splash Works was installed and two outbound humps became one. I was unaware of the change and having ridden it countless times, I instantly thought we left the tracks when it didn't come down as expected!! Fastest I ever grabbed the lap bar!!!

[@jealousblousewipes]

I really miss those original hills. It’s funny how altering two bunny hills and updating the lap bars can really impact the ride experience - for the worst that is! What would be great is if they do end up doing some track maintenance in the future, is to reinstall those original hills that Paramount got their crummy little hands on.

[@kanadiankandy6647]

I remember this ride as a kid in the 80s. Was too small and my dad got me on lol had to keep his leg over my lap so I didn’t fly out 😂😂😂 still one of my favourites.

[@SirWinstonBeech]

Shooting Star sent me here... Minebuster really is a near mirror image of Coney Island (Cincinnati) top coaster. Right turn instead of left at the top, out and back, and the helix with the tunnel. Very cool. Shooting Star last ran almost 50 years ago, nice to see the design has been preserved.

[@mitchellries256]

Maybe Canada's Wonderland should spend their next off season refurbishing some of their coasters. That means giving Wild Beast and Mighty Canadian Minebuster the GCI refurbishment, adding the same restraints found on Fly The Great Nor'Easter at Morey's Piers and the Freedom Flyer at Fun Spot America to Flight Deck and Silver Streak respectively. And maybe (if they really need it) adding the same restraints found on the Blue Hawk at Six Flags Over Georgia and the Flying Cobras at Carowinds to Dragon Fire and the Bat respectively.

[@hiibob2618]

Not possible. Canada has a law that doesn’t allow it.

[@mitchellries256]

Hi I Bob Canada has a law that doesn't allow them to do what?

[@BleuChicken]

I never really got the hate Minebuster has been getting. It's a great airtime packed ride and is pretty smooth in the middle rows of each car. Not to mention the padded seat dividers. In my opinion, I actually liked the bumpy airtime this ride gives. It's quite unique in that regard.

[@kosamekii]

I'm praying this DOESNT get reworked bc honestly i love how bumpy and shaky it is bc it adds to the intensity and makes it really that much more fun than rides like leviathan and behemoth (once u get used to it) I used to fear all these bumpy rides so much but now id rather go on mine buster than its neighbouring yukon anyday

After this ride, my throat was sour, my neck was crushed, and my ears were bleeding. Oh dont forget that my butt was lifting off and on the seat!😅 But for the beginners, this is the 3rd fastest ride at the park, tied with Wilde Beast, they are both 90km/h. I still can’t believe I went on the 3rd fastest ride in the park, that’s just shocking to me as someone who’s terrified of rollercoasters! But I do recommend this ride it’s a must do!, just don’t do it if you have back pains or sensitive ears, That wont end up good.😅

[@UndoneJigsaw]

GCI or Gravity Group reprofile and retrack. If I could make suggestions but I know it would be expensive: relocate the station to the front of the lift hill, Make the lift hill more taller, reprofile the turn-around, helix and some of the straight runs to have hills. Take notes from Gravity Group's reprofile and retrack of Tonnerre 2 Zeus @ Parc Astérix and GCI's Ghostrider reprofiling @ Knotts. Save an RMC coaster for a ground up new coaster.
