Each train was arranged the same, with the first car being painted blue, the second car being painted red, and the third car being painted white.īefore the 2010 season, the trains were simplified and removed of any resemblance to the MINI Cooper as Cedar Fair no longer holds the license to use MINI Coopers on Backlot Stunt Coaster. Sound effects were also built into the cars. The cars had headlight stickers on the front and working doors on the side. Paramount worked closely with BMW to design the cars. Under its original name and theme, the ride featured unique cars which resembled ¾ scale MINI Coopers. Each car can sit four people in two rows of two. Train designed as a MINI Cooper coming out of the billboard at Kings Dominionīacklot Stunt Coaster has three trains, each with three cars. Aqueduct, and turning left into the ride's station.

The train is then launched again into a tunnel, twisting and dropping before coming out of the "broken billboard", splashing down in an L.A. Though that effect has since been removed, the second round of gunfire still ignites where the gasoline would've splashed, catching two barrels on fire before a gas tank explodes.

Under Paramount's operation, the gunfire cracked pipes and barrels, which sprayed "gasoline" (truly, water) all around riders. A helicopter rises to the train's left, shooting simulated gunfire. The train then comes to a halt in front of a tunnel. Riders then go through an overbanked turn at 88 degrees, followed by a dip and then traveling down a set of "subway stairs". Riders then swerve between the police cars. The train then drops from the top of the helixes into a "street" lined with highway signs and three police cars, with sirens and lights flashing. Special effects throughout the ride were modified to remove references to the movie, generalizing the overall theme.Īfter accelerating from 0–40 miles per hour (0–64 km/h) in three seconds, out of the station, the train enters into a three-story " parking garage" shell, passing through two upwards helixes meant to mirror the ascension of a car through a true parking garage.

The name change was part of a wider effort by Cedar Fair to remove Paramount themes from the chain of parks the company acquired in 2006 from Paramount Parks. The ride at Kings Dominion replaced the Diamond Falls shoot-the-chute ride.Īt the end of the 2007 season, all three Italian Job coasters were renamed to Backlot Stunt Coaster for the start of the 2008 season. On October 12, 2005, Kings Dominion announced they would be adding a clone of Italian Job: Stunt Coaster but with a slightly different name, Italian Job: Turbo Coaster. It opened at Canada's Wonderland on May 1, 2005. The ride opened at Kings Island for previews on April 29, 2005, followed by its grand opening several weeks later on May 20. It replaced the Lex Taxis antique car ride at Kings Island. The Italian Job: Stunt Track was announced by Kings Island and Canada's Wonderland on August 12, 2004. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows for a total of 12 riders per train.
