The other trick is that Mine Blower, with Gravity Group's custom designed trains can quite literally turn on a dime.



 This overbanked turn that sends the train flying around the station is by far the widest turn on the ride.  The rest of them especially when taken at high speed are just unbelievably tight and so much fun.  I'd be curious what the smallest distance the Timberliners can turn as the radius out of the station might be ten feet.  Some of Mine Blower's high speed turnarounds radiuses might be as tight as twenty feet.



Having designed the trains the guys at The Gravity Group certainly know how far they can push it.  That pushing it to the edge is really what made me fall in love with this coaster. 



Mine Blower has comfortable trains, an insanely twisted and aggressive layout, tons of airtime and a wickedly fun inversion make it a winner in my book.  About the only negative (besides it being too far from my home in Illinois) is it does have a few rough spots but I can live with those; especially in a hot and humid environment like Central Florida.



Galaxy Spin is your standard spinning coaster from Zamperla.  These are fun.  Before spinning guests around Fun Spot it began at Florida's Legoland.
