<p>The Canada&#8217;s Wonderland Backlot Stunt Track roller coaster opened in 2005, then owned by Paramount Parks, and originally called the Italian Job Stunt Track as a high speed MINI Cooper S stunt car ride. </p>
<p>Here are 4 interesting facts from when the ride was first introduced.</p>
<p>1) Multiple LIM (Linear Induction Motor) launch the circuit coaster with several Boost Zones throughout the ride, where the train will be propelled by a LIM jump.</p>
<p>2) The exterior fiberglass for each vehicle was themed as a 75% scale MINI Cooper S, approved by MINI. The original cars featured real MINI Cooper headlights and tail lights.</p>
<p>3) The original MINI cars were outfitted with subwoofers and tactile transducers couple to each seat for an enhanced audio experience. Audio features were activated by magnets to which the on-board inductive sensors responded at various points in the ride experience. Each car featured a power slide effect, simulating fishtailing through turns to intensify track curves and driving sequences. </p>
<p>4) The launch system has the equivalent power of 1,500 horsepower.</p>
<p>Sadly, the majority of the creative technology that made the Italian Job Stunt Track unique was stripped out when the ride was converted to Backlot Stunt Coaster. </p>
