The Rail Blazer Rollercoaster at California's Great America, Santa Clara, California

With a layout that is maybe seventy five feet wide and two hundred and fifty feet long RailBlazer is quite an entangled eighteen hundred feet of track.

With this nice airtime hill across the center of the ride RailBlazer works its way around the tangled track.

I love that little girls expression.  There is a little thrill seeker.

RailBlazer's trains are meant to look like an ATV and the ride is themed to be a wild ride through California's mountainous coast down Highway 1.

We ended up taking that trek down Highway 1 later this day well after the sun had set and I am not sure what was more terrifying RailBlazer or staring out into the night to look out of the passenger window of the car to see the waves crashing way beneath you and on the other side seeing anti-rockslide fencing that has obviously taken more than a few hits with a mountain looking over you as you twist back and forth in the darkness with no cell reception and no sign of civilization.   It took us three hours to take the eighty mile trek to our hotel in San Simeon because the road was that trecherous.
