Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain

The Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain is a wooden roller coaster at Indiana Beach in Monticello, Indiana themed to that of a mine shaft. It was the last coaster Custom Coasters International (CCI) finished. The ride is unusual as it has an elevator to raise the cars to the top of the track as opposed to the more traditional lift-hill. CCI constructed new cage-enclosed cars due to the proximity between riders and the themed 'mountain' sections of the ride. Eight people may ride in a two-car train simultaneously. Two face forward and two backward, opposite each other in each car.

The ride enters an enclosed 'mountain' area several times throughout the ride. The imitation mountain was originally used for a previous dark ride. This dark ride went through the mountain and lights would illuminate scenes of various animals in the mountain.

The Lost Coaster is a moderate ride and does not have big drops. Part of the thrill is the alarming shake generated by the unusual track design. Ride backwards for the ultimate shake.

Trivia

The Gravity Group, which is ran by the former CCI designers, stated that Lost Coaster was the inspiration for the design of Twister at Grona Lund in Sweden.
