Reaching speeds of up to 55 mph, Canyon Blaster will have riders gripping their handle bars and gasping for breath as they zip through a series of twists and turns.

One of the first four rides at the park when it opened in 1993 as Grand Slam Canyon, the roller coaster is the United States' only indoor double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster.

Stretching 90 feet into the air, the coaster provides a one-of-a-kind view of the Adventuredome, from the Rim Runner to the The Sling Shot. The ride also includes a close encounter with Chaos in one segment.

Definitely one of the best roller coasters in town, and if it's thrills you are seeking, Canyon Blaster is a must-see.
