The Canyon Blaster is an indoor roller coaster located at the Adventuredome theme park in Las Vegas. It features back-to-back vertical loops and corkscrews, and ends with a helix inside the mountain that takes up a large portion of the park. It is billed as the world's largest indoor double-loop, double-corkscrew coaster.
This attraction features two six car trains that seat four passengers in two rows per car. When it originally opened it operated with seven car trains. In 2001, the trains were re-painted in a dark blue and deep purple heliochrome paint.

- Baby Geniuses - part of fictional "Joyworld" theme park, Sly starts the ride with two scientists on board and restraints still open. Both fall from the ride.
- Criss Angel Mindfreak (Season 3 Episode "Rollercoaster") - A train goes through Criss' body while he stands on the track after the corkscrews and Criss ends up in the front seat.
