Ready to step out of your comfort zone and have a blast? 

The Canyon Blaster zooms you through sharp twists and turns. This double-loop, double-corkscrew indoor roller coaster offers views of other Adventuredome rides such as Rim Runner, The Sling Shot and Chaos -- that is if you can keep your eyes open.  

And while it's not known for its steep drops, the Canyon Blaster is mighty fast and reaches speed up to 55 miles per hour. There's also a portion of the ride where it gets dark: This freaks you out because you don't know what to expect next. 

The ride isn't exactly the smoothest experience, so be aware of your head moving around a lot. Once you climb out of your car, there's a bench right by the exit so you can catch your breath. 

Even if you rode the Canyon Blaster back in your younger days, it's just as exciting now. And while you can usually tell how scary a ride is by how loud the screams are, this ride freaks you out so much you might be left speechless.
