Canyon Blaster is a steel roller coaster located at The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom in Lake George, New York.
[edit] Ride experience and theming
It is a gentle family-style coaster designed as a runaway mine train featuring two lift hills and a double helix. The ride has a red track with yellow supports and a blue train. In keeping with the Old West theme of the Ghosttown section of the park, the coaster is decorated with broken and crumbling artifacts from the era including a stagecoach, a broken steam train and the fake bones of dead animals. The outer fence is painted with mine blast warnings and notices of when the last (again fake) accident was.
[edit] History
This particular coaster previously operated as the Rock n' Roller Coaster at the now-defunct Opryland USA theme park in Nashville, Tennessee.
