The Mighty Canadian Minebuster (often shortened to just Minebuster) was one of the four roller coasters that debuted with Paramount Canada's Wonderland, an amusement park located in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, in 1981, and is still operational today. It is one of two wooden roller coasters at the park that are modelled after rides that existed at Coney Island amusement park in Cincinnati, Ohio (specifically, the Shooting Star); Wild Beast is the other.
Minebuster is an out and back roller coaster, and uses two trains, with five cars holding six riders (in rows of two) each. The ride (and its trains) was built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.
Paramount's Canada's Wonderland's water park, Splash Works, has two sets of slides that pass over the Mighty Canadian Minebuster. [1]
