I like how this ride can get away with having a jagged / crooked track because it fits the old timey western mineshaft theme

[@A5TROgame]

prolly because of dynamite willy

[@VestedUTuber]

And the low speeds. In fact, it benefits from it - because the ride vehicle travels at such low speeds compared to other coasters, in order to generate G-forces everything has to be super-tight. This thing still manages ejector airtime over those small but super-sharp hills.

[@alfredroman5801]

I love the way this ride is designed. There is nothing like that on the East Coast and there is still nothing like it. This should be in Planet Coaster 2. Who’s with me?

[@BHStudios01]

This actually has the feel of a (sorta) actual runaway minecart with the design of the track and the carts themselves, and I love it!

[@Coaster-Toaster]

Not the biggest, not the fastest but pure fun! What a unique ride. Can't wait to get back to Indiana Beach someday 😌

[@gringaenperu4945]

They're closing the entire park

That was before Gene Stapes bought it and saved it…

I find it irresponsible that nobody tells you Dynamite Willy is on the loose before you even get on the ride!

some high level ride detail tbh. i love the design of the cart vehicle the lift system. the all wooden built track. even a animatronic with a mini show scene? whats not to love

[@webguy943]

I laughed when willie said fire in the hole n all it did was slightly move the wooden frame. Yea willie. U so dangerous. Run along now. 🤣

[@k.h.4698]

I am glad this ride and park survived the threat of closure. I love this ride because it is memorably unique.

[@ranoverray1]

I will testify it is one of the best mine rides ever. Its history is very interesting as well it was a slow, family themed ride decades ago . You feel like its possibly dangerous no joke. What I.B. does in such a small area is amazing !

[@ParkHoppingDuo]

What a cool coaster. I imagine something like this at a highly themed park would be AMAZING.

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

How fantastic! It sounds as rickety as hell which is just perfect for it. I loved how tight the cross bars seemed overhead when it went belting down the mine shaft. Brilliant looking ride and well filmed 👍😊

[@naomilindberg2328]

What an awesome little ride! That would be really fun to ride, if not a little rough.

[@laurendavis748]

I’ve never seen a roller coaster like that with a net. It’s interesting but I also think it will make you feel more secure and safer.

[@tehlyingcake1096]

I'm thinking the overhead clearances in some of the interior portions aren't that great, meaning tall people could possibly get hurt having their arms up so they added the net? I don't know for sure, I've never been on it. The space looks tight just looking at the video.

[@newworldastrology1102]

Or trapped!

[@SoulSurvivor14]

@@tehlyingcake1096 it is tight. The net prevents you to put your hands up and smack almost every clearance in the ride. Some parts it always seems like only have a couple inches clearance on the cars

[@programckarts7549]

It’s fun and all! But it’s always packed! One summer someone got stuck up in the ride!

[@jnsmith111]

So much better now that everything in the ride actually works. I'll have to finally give this a ride again.

[@phillippi2]

Fun fact: Superstition Mountain was actually a dark ride, similar to The Den of Lost Thieves. Superstition Mountain was closed for a few years, because of the problems that it had in operation and the fact that got to be difficult to maintain. But one of the owners at the time didn't want to take the ride down because it was special to them. So they slightly remodeled the design to be used as a roller coaster. This is why there's so many hairpin turns. They were working around the layout of the dark ride. Another fun fact; most of the coaster runs in the opposite direction that the dark ride ran in. The train that you see at the end was one of the first things seen on the dark ride.

[@DanaCormier-po5ib]

This ride looks like alot, of fun!😅

[@deshonjb]

This ride can be so spooky at night & during Halloween, I love it!

[@curiousgemini]

One of the most creative coasters I've seen.

[@drakelewton8929]

I remember when it was once a dark ride. Still kinda is. Fun unique coaster either way

[@Jos7h]

This is an adorable coaster. 10/10

[@Smithy88888]

Cool quirky ride!

[@maddog6620]

Super awesome 😎 ride

[@bonesw9502]

Absolutely love this ride when it's not broken down!

[@devenacomet]

Oh hey, I remember going on that ride before in one of my summer vacations.

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

Disney seriously needs a ride like this.

[@VestedUTuber]

Big Thunder Mountain is the closest they have to it.

[@CalmingMindASMR]

I love that you made it to Indiana Beach! I live about 40 miles away and pretty much grew up at this park. This ride is a newer addition, I must admit I haven't been in quite a few years.

[@GLJosh]

Great ride one of my favorites at my home park.

[@kyleeaton2660]

The track really had me fooled. Out of all wooden coasters I've seen, I've never seen one like this.

[@roaddogg800]

What in the world is this! It looks amazing! What a random crazy set up of a ride.

[@martinknight8631]

A great little coaster. I went on it twice, and it broke down twice. Once on the lift and then inside on one of the drops. Maintenance guy had the look of a broken man..

[@SSDirk1976]

now this is a vintage cool looking ride that everyone should be able to enjoy

[@tobiashoyden2644]

Looks rough, but charming. I'd ride it.

[@nat-co3uy]

this looks so fun

[@robiken]

So cool!

[@MrEvilTag]

Ive never seen one start like that. Talk about unique

[@GardeBlaze]

Quite the interesting coaster. You have an elevator lift on a wooden coaster, a choice of riding forwards or backwards, the enclosed cars, a mountain theme, and a complete stop to watch an animatronic.

[@NocturneFexy]

This ride looks pretty neat!

[@jersey5799]

Now this is a cool ride

[@protoborg]

This is the only coaster I have ever seen with a lift rather than a lift hill.

[@joewhoa1759]

That's cool as hell

[@screamingeekmedia]

My favorite ride there! And in my Top-10 wooden coaster list. Such a fun ride.

[@rebekahhesketh1220]

This ride looks like a lot of fun! They could do away with the netting, though, I think.

[@emmanueldacunha3211]

So coool wooden coaster ❤ I love thé coaches.

[@avidcollector869]

love the safety netting

[@tachyonpulse]

This actually looks pretty fun. Would def do it.

[@autobotdiva9268]

this ride is sneaky fun! omg

[@ellej.winsett3701]

this ride is cool as hell actually

[@stevereeb2950]

Indiana beach is the coolest and most unique place ever . Lost coaster is the most unique coaster and my favorite ride there . You can sit backwards or forwards and every time is a riot . One of the funnest coasters i've ever rode and leaves me with a perma grin every time . Proof you don't have to be the tallest or fastest to give you one heck of a ride . On strictly a fun factor i think it's as fun as Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point . That's right i said it .

[@spittinvenom9843]

Rough and tumble, it’s a tonne of fun 🤩

[@meintingles4396]

I think this is my favorite. So beautiful and detailed.

[@suthius85]

This thing looks awesome! I hope the ride experience is fun.

[@chelsey684]

Wow this ride looks like fun! I’ll definitely try it sometime! I also love the cart, the design is really good.

[@QueenDaenerysTargaryen]

Very good 👍👍👏👏

[@hagrid397]

This ride looks like a lot of fun! I'm kinda confused by the seating though. Is one roll always facing backwards?

[@SoulSurvivor14]

Each car has two front facing and two rear facing seats. And there are two cars per train

[@astralwishes13]

yes, the second row faces backwards. i imagine it’s a fun way to make it more thrilling for people who enjoy more thrilling rides

[@djlowtek]

Appreciate the sky ride shots of the coaster!

[@robinnelson1248]

Wow. I got to ride it. It's rickety and the dark parts...yeah

[@LolaliciousSmiley]

This is the closest thing to an actual mine cart coaster.

[@DonnaLee4]

[@TayWoode]

I like the netting, it means they can pack more in a smaller space without people sticking their hands out

[@robertabray-enhus3198]

That’s pretty cool! What a great ride

[@tims4502]

I think the locomotive decoration that almost crashes into you was part of the haunted house ride from years ago. As a little kid that thing was terrifying. Ride is fun except if you have long legs. Also, capacity is so low! What seems like a super short line may take 30 minutes

[@AlanCanon2222]

How fun! Of course since it's in northern Indiana, to make it more historically accurate it should be a ride on a gigantic slow dragline strip mining machine....

[@maddog6620]

[@wherethetatosat]

Seems like a charming but rough ride. Probably needs more Dynamite Willy though.

[@jmartinbsu]

The coaster is actually built on top of what used to be a guided car ride (metal trail that doesn't allow you to go left out right of the course and the cats typically cap out at 5ph) . They reused different parts of the track and scenery. It is a jerky ride, but it's also considerably more entertaining than the cars were.

[@protoborg]

Did you not notice the cars ARE STILL RUNNING?

[@amandamanley4870]

Love this ride even though it screws up my back

[@thecorndogwalker1]

[@brittanynorton870]

Kinda reminds me of the mystery mine and blazing fury at Dollywood

[@josephnavarro914]

Ride looks like its more terrifying and intimidating at night

[@threestoogesfan2000]

Reminds me of the Mine Ride from Cedar Point and The Adventure Express from King's Island

[@laurendavis748]

It’s kinda cool too

[@deftoneslover]

I would def go on this is , i would feel so safe in that seat lol
