- This Gravity Group wooden coaster packs quite a punch in a small footprint. Standing 83 feet (25m) tall with a top speed of 48.5 mph (78 km/h), the nearly 3,000 foot (914m) layout features a 65° drop, a 115° over-banked curve and a corkscrew inversion above the station!
Check out the off-ride video we posted to see even more of what this thrilling coaster looks like: • Mine Blower 4K off-rid...

An inversion on a legit full wooden coaster seems unreal. Neat!
plus the pacing is really good in my opinion. I like it even if it is getting rougher each year
Yeah, it is really rare. The only other ones I can think of are Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City, Goliath at Six Flags Great America, Wildfire at Kolmarden, and Hades 360 at Mount Olympus.
Of those, Hades 360 (and Mine Blower) were built by Gravity Group, while the other 3 were built by Rocky Mountain Construction using the topper track (as opposed to the all-steel I-Box track they use on most of their rollercoasters).
@@me-myself-i787 Isn't topper track mostly metal?
It’s a hybrid roller coaster
No; It’s mostly wood. However the most important part (what would be the top two laminates on normal wooden track) is a steel structural element. So while it’s mostly wood by weight and volume, the wooden part is still something of an affectation.
Just a warning for anyone planning to ride: This ride is quite rough, but i wouldn't say unbearably. It's a smoother ride in the front row, and the airtime very well counteracts the roughness, and if you can stand some roughness fine, you'll still like it.
Been on this numerous times. An amazing wooden coaster. 👍
Same
Same xD
*Hybrid
El Ectric its wooden homie
I went on this four times in a row. God I miss riding this coaster.... T-T
I must say that this roller coaster is one of my absolute favorites. If you want t thrill, this coaster stands up to the fastest and highest coasters at more popular spots in the country. I have been to a few six flags, Hershey Park, NJ Boardwalks, Wildwood, Point Pleasant, Santa Monica Pier etc.... This roller coaster is hard to beat. So much fun and so fast. I love it!!!
This coaster is rough as hell but I absolutely love it!! Rode it 12 times in a row last month, at night.
Wooden Coaster 1 looks too intense for me.
Edit 2022: oh, and this is an amazing reply section, I’m glad everyone got my RCT3 reference lol
Edit 2023: and now it’s not too intense anymore because RMC is putting on 208 ReTrak :D
lmao got the reference.
I want to go on Wooden Coaster 1!
I want to go on something more thrilling than Wooden Coaster 1.
The track sound actually sounds like rct lifthill sounds!
I'm not going on Wooden Roller Coaster 1 while it's raining.
Gravity Group is good at proving that roller coasters don't need to be big to put the smack down.
This ride is so rough but so fun, rode it 3 times back to back on my first trip there
The Gravity Group and GCI are single handedly keeping wooden coasters alive, and we should be thankful for them!
This roller coaster is insane. It's a rough, jerky ride with awesome drops, turns, and a corkscrew. All the kids cried for their mommies after. I cried inside. Felt bad for letting my 8-year old daughter on it. This is more intense than any coaster at Disney.
Yeah, Disney rides are not known for being intense lol
Wait till you try Iron Gwazi at Busch gardens. Makes this look like a Disney ride and it's smooth.
@@Trahzy It doesn't make this look like a Disney ride. Mine Blower holds its own. It feels extremely out-of-control.
@@Trahzyit’s mainly bc mine blower is so rough that Iron Gwazi might actually be easier for a lot of people lol
Went on this about two weeks ago for the first time. Wasn't rough at all. Very intense.
I agree though I went on it 2 yrs ago
Bro I got a headache from that roughness on the second time
@@jay.madethis i didnt get a headache but when i was holding on to the other seas the vibration was hurting my hand
Enthusiasts, as someone in the community, have a habit of blowing up little problems...yeah the ride is shaky, it jolts you, but they act like you leave with broken ribs. Sheesh.
@@jordanwolfson8378 I felt like I couldn’t breathe for a minute lmao… but no it’s not that bad
RMC: "We're building wooden coasters with a corkscrew!"
GravityGroup: "Hold my Beer"
RMC: "Our experiences are butter smooth!"
GravityGroup: "We know you have too many fanboys on your side, but we don't care we are going to have the most padded and comfortable trains even better than GCI and keep being ahead in the market so there!"
GCI: I don't wanna get involved in this but we gotta use some steel and make some inversions, and updated trains, let's get to work behind there backs til IAAPA.
@@oneandonlysound3453 Cci: Nothing because they're dead.
@@burtor55able Isn't CCI just gravity group at this point?
@@Puffindefenceforce The engineers from CCI formed Gravity Group
I went on this 12 times in a row ! It’s the best
This is like an RMC but if it were a rickety old coaster so you get the bumpy thrill with the inversions. It's hard to imagine this is in such a small park, and never has a line!
Thank you CoasterForce! I get to ride over & over without queuing thanks to you & your great pov filming.
Amazing coaster... especially at night. Definitely a must visit if you're in the Orlando area. Park is open until midnight and parking/entry are free.
Gravity Group again did wonders with a tight footprint! Who could have guessed 15 years ago that we could get such exciting rides roughly within the space of a Boomerang?
It's unfortunate to hear that the ride is too rattly for a brand new addition. Hope the reported issue can be sorted out!
It is? Man i must have missed that part cause last month when i rode it like 4 times in a row it didnt take any toll on my body
Honestly the people saying it's rough are just pansies. I rode this December 2017 when it was 35 degrees F out (we know cold effects wooden coasters more than steel). I rode it 8 times. Also, it's only 10 times smoother than super overrated El Toro.
It's not rough
WHAT 😲😲😲😲😲
@@oneandonlysound3453 when it's hot it's rougher tho
I love this roller coaster, I rode it about 8 times
I love rollercoasters but this is singlehandedly the only coaster that has left me with a headache after getting off. I go on everything, sorry to ya'lll that love it. I was very confused as to why this happened. I don't even have any issues with steel corkscrews/boomerangs that are notorious for head bobbing
Was just in Orlando this past weekend and all I gotta say about this coaster is.... Wow. Exhilarating!
I rode this ride on Saturday lol, the first time I passed out and the second time I had sooo much fun
First coaster of 2021!
This ride destroys twisted cyclone. It's more comfortable, has less constraining seats, and a sweet layout built into a compact area. RMC this RMC that. And they pulled this and yes it has one inversion versus three (though some may say this has 2), but would you rather invert three times versus once or have a solid nice length ride? Heck I'd take this over Joker RMC and Goliath RMC too. Probably medusa steel coaster and storm chaser too. Heck, "converted" Hades 360 is better than 1/2 of them. Timberliner trains are great too-comfortable hold you in well but don't stop airtime, nothing breaking your legs, plenty of padding, etc. They should be on many more wooden coasters like The Voyage.
Holiday World decided that the costs outweighed the benefits as far as The Voyage was concerned, and probably wanted to save costs, which is easier to do when all three wooden roller coasters have the same model trains.
Having grown up in between waldameer park and cedar point and having ridden the Ravine Flyer 2 God knows how many times and Steel Vengeance only twice, I'll take the RMC any day.
Gunpowder987Plays point taken, although in hindsight I guess steel vengeance isn’t even wood at all. I guess as far as actual wooden coasters I have ridden, I would put ravine flyer on top, but I’ve only ridden 8 that I can remember.
Gunpowder987Plays I really wanna ride the voyage since it’s basically everything that ravine flyer was trying to be. Of course it helps that they had significantly more land to work with.
Had to come back 2 watch. Feels like your diong 200 mph on this sooooo awesome
Same lol
“Does your head ache already? Ok, lets give it a spin then...”
Want to ride that Wooden coaster look cool!!!
So great! Finally got a chance to ride it! It's not as rough as I've heard (and it was 95°F)
It's clearly not butter smooth, but its not gonna hurt you after one ride :)
Looks Fun, but already rough for a brand new ride...
they rushed this thing to get it done asap before summer starts but they sacrificed it smoothness :(
white lightning is smoother and way older
what your likely seeing is the mounting system for the camera shaking around.
Daniel Blaney No it is rough been on it 6 times but it's still awesome despite the roughness
ASteelersMidget It’s the smoothest woodie I’ve ever ridden... Not really rough at all and the cars are very comfy
Sometimes Florida and wooden coasters don’t go well together. The climate is so brutally humid and hot, that it often slowly damages the wood. Here in Tampa, we had Gwazi, and good lord it hurt so bad!
If this wasn’t so damn rough this would be top 20
It being rough makes it better lol
Quite a roller coaster, and I love its compact but potent layout!
Rides like this, along with Shock Wave at Six Flags Over Texas and Outlaw Run at SVC in Branson, have taught me to rate a roller coaster NOT by size, height, speed, length, or number of inversions (if any) - but by performance exclusively!
I've ridden several fun roller coasters over the years, both large and small, and I learned this kind of respect and how to rate them about 20 years ago - when I rode the Shock Wave for the first time. In those days, the then 21-year-old Shock Wave (now 41) outperformed the older version of Texas Giant by a LONG SHOT!! The reason why? It may look tame, but those 70-foot-tall double loops are able to pull 5.9 G's! I kid you NOT!!! The ride quality is also still as smooth as can be, even after 41 years of service.
The last time I ever rode the Texas Giant, it was back in 2001 and obviously BEFORE they revised and reintroduced it 9 and 10 years later - respectively. The ride quality was SO DOGGONE violent and bumpy, that afterwards it made me feel like I had been clobbered by a gang of thugs! I felt the same way after riding BGW's Loch Ness Monster as well. My lower back was very sore after riding that one just twice!
Interesting to hear praise of Shock Wave. I rode it in 78 when it opened & it's still as smooth as it was then. One of the greatest, most intense steel coasters among the 324 I've ridden (132 wood). Shock Wave's loops are crazy strong & fun as you said, but the drops, ALL OF THEM, have some of the most insane airtime I've ever experienced. Shock Wave is a fabulous, very under-appreciated and under-rated steel coaster. I love it & live 30 min from there. Rode it 3 weeks ago. Can't wait for Prairie Screamer to open 20 min away in the Fall!
This coaster is so good it has a short weight time so I road it 4 times in a row
Just got back from fl this thing screams and topped any coaster at busch gardens
You are smoking something really illegal sir
I sat in the back on this and it hauls ass , I underestimated it , but it was awesome
just went on it, 10/10
this looks really fun!
Cindy Kitty And it is. Trust me, first time i ride it.. I got addicted and ride it over 4 times in a day!
A corkscrew?!? Where have you been all my life. I have never seen such an element on a coaster before.
Call me crazy but this looks like it might be the best airtime ride in Florida. Need to get down there and see.
Nah, Mako has way more airtime. This coaster still kicks a lot of ass, and i find it way more intense than Mako. Mako's first drop is the most intense part of the ride, after that, it is a standard out and back.
One word: Mako
Like people are saying, Mako would have more airtime, but it's definitely floater airtime. As second though, you have both this and white lightning at the two fun spot parks, this one is excellent, but white lightning has the literal double-up and then double-down, and now they have an E+F Miler which has lots of airtime too. In any case better than "breaks: the coasters" stuff like universal's overrated mess.
It seems like every B&M that's "supposed" to have great airtime, only does so in the back seat on a really hot day. Well, other than Fury, anyways. I haven't been down there for 20 years, but as soon as Velocicoaster opens, I'm going.
Mako velocicoaster iron guazi
I went on this ride, it’s so terrifying 😭
Fr it was so rough it had my arm hurting. Went on it twice though
No it isn’t lmao went on it 2 hours ago
I guess you could say it blew your mind
Same
I might get to go on this in like July 30th or something I can’t wait 😁
This looks like fun, i know a lot of people have had their "mind blown" on "Mine blower!"
I want to ride this ride! 😆🎢
Who every went on this ride recently we can all say that it was the roughest thing we would ever experience I thought my chest was going to blow up
They should call this ride the back breaker cuz of how ruff it is
I love the coaster
A problem with this coaster is the turn before the drop. You can hit your knee on the car in front of you because the turn is so tight and if you are tall its not good.
Been on this once and I’m the only person in my family that actually liked it (there was only four of us that went on it)
Looks like a decent park
Such a good hybrid coaster
It's a wood coaster.
@@crooked-halo True but parts of it are built to accomodate for the inversion to work. Also it's up to question if a coaster has non-wood supports if it counts, as far back as Gemini at Cedar Point. Though to me, it's whatever the track is made out of, not the supports. Aka most RMC "hybrids" are just steel coasters.
@@oneandonlysound3453 The roller coaster industry has always considered the track bed to be the determining factor of whether a coaster is wood or steel. Supports are insignificant. Wood track bed = wood coaster. Steel track bed = steel coaster. Gemini is a steel roller coaster. Mine Blower is a wood coaster.
I love this ride
I went on that ride scary as hell
i went on this ride theres a bit of small bumps that scared me but other than that it was cool
1:43 they also used real railroad crossing lights here
The ride gave me really good postive and ejector, this probably would have been my 2nd favorite ride if it didn’t beat me up so bad, I rode this three times and I walked away with a headache and neck pain. Please rmc or titan track or something I’m literally tying this in pain with my hand rubbing my neck😐
Ok this looks so fun
this is the bomb!
Love Gravity Group! They did what they could with this small space. Mine Blower is a fun ride but...unfortunately, Fun Spot's sister wood coaster, White Lightning, wins as best woody in Orlando. Wish Mine Blower looked wooden. Steel supports are painted white and makes the ride feel tight. There's no give in this structure. Timberliner trains are the best when they're on a long wooden coaster like Hades 360.
Most awesome coaster, I loved it!!
Same very cool
I WOULD RIDE THIS 3 TO 100 TIMES IN A DAY, THE DROP, CROSSOVERS AND OF COURSE THE CORKSCREW INVERSION, , THAT SEALED THE DEAL FOR ME. GREAT POV.

God, I rode this last weekend and it’s definitely a good cred, but LORDDDD it’s rough. I was getting throttled around the end turn
Back row is fun but it’s hard to marathon this because the banks and over banks have a rattle
I got bad muscle aches from this thing, totally worth it tho!
so much back pain from this ride especially if your tall
that. looks. immense
i went on that ride in florida
This is so bad like it would be a fun ride if it wasn’t so bumpy, it literally hurts your neck and back because of how bumpy it is
This ride is so rough my god, roughest ride I’ve ever been on fr
I went on this today and oh the first drop made me scared
I wanna see a gravity group that’s a shuttle coaster And at the start of the first drop is A Heart line roll!
It's a great coaster
I rode this ride I liked it
I believe there are 2 fun spots in the Orlando area. Can't remember this being at the one i went to so I gotta go here soon lol
I'm in line for food at a restaurant and this coaster is a couple thousand feet to my left haha
The other one is way better unless you like skycoasters… white lightning blows mine blower away
@@zyuukii I disagree
@@zyuukii respectfully
twisted colossus number 2
They say this coaster goes upside down twice. I only see one inversion on this coaster. How can there be two?
Mitchell Ries they might count 1:15 as an inversion
It does not go upside down twice. There's only one inversion. An inversion is 180 degrees from horizontal.
It doesn't put like other "questionable" inversions like how an immelman turn isn't a loop, they count the moment around 1:15 as a second one in some circles. An overseas park claims it. In reality, it isn't, but when riding it does feel like your almost there. It certainly adds to the ride experience a lot in the very least.
this one is scary and I didn’t expect it to be since it’s wooden
Hit my head a little too hard after the first drop which knocked me out for like a good 3 seconds
Where did you hit your head?
@@triple7marc by the neck same level as my ears
@@emm._. No lol I meant what did you hit it on?
Just did it. I swear the wheels are square.
Look like a good ride but hell to the no
I went on it already
If this have Corkscrew inversion, It would looks similar to Rocky Mountain's Roller Coaster since it's also have that effort and that almost makes me confused of that inversions ever since I saw the video of Inverted Corkscrew Wooden Coaster like Hades from Mt. Olympus in Wisconsin, USA and Jungle Trailblazer from Fantawild, China, Well not Son of Beast from Kings Island since the inversions is not exactly the same as this one.
So how long was your spinal cord recovery?
I’ve been on this ride The Mind Blower.
I wish they still had this went on this like 20 times good old dayes
they still have it...
I well rebuilt the hole coaster in a game
Does it have metal supports
yes
People saying it’s intense: it’s not. Rode it 10 times and had no effect on me. It’s not rough, and not scary. If little kids can go on it so can you
Little kids tend to have a higher tolerance for roughness than people in their 30s, like me
That’s a hybrid coaster
Not impressed with the top track but honestly the best design for a station and photo finish. Wish the photo for the ride was faciallialy recogonized looking up at the twist above the station. oh. oo. wow. move-mphhh
Been on this shit 3 times, it terrifying
lmao... no it isnt
U might need a neck brace if ur under five feet
i went on that ride i almost passed out
Show some respect Fun Spot. Either do NOT fly the flags at all or send someone up to replace the raggedy ones.
At least they do it, they don't replace them with advertisement flags or tear them down altogether. Also they do replace them, just not often enough really. Which is odder when it's Fun Spot and they tend to repaint or renovate rides (and coasters) a lot. It seems like you can't ever go without one thing being closed under renovation/paint job/etc. Yet the bumper cars at both parks are low-level fair quality while they have others that aren't even made anymore looking new.
cedar point needs a gravity group
No they don’t
@@zyuukii Yes they do, or a GCI. They don't have any good wooden coasters. It's the main thing missing from their lineup
Legit across the street from universal
Wooden Coaster 1 is Illegal.
last time i rode this all i felt was lethal ejector airtime and it was super rough
It's great but after 5+ times the rattle becomes quite annoying
I got on this I was dead 💀
Can I use this for a video please? If so, thanks.
You just posted this the other day...........
