Colorado Adventure is a
‘Wild West’ period
in the USA.
The ride has been voted by fans as one of the world’s best examples of the mine roller coaster. Until 2013 its full name was Colorado Adventure – The Michael Jackson Thrill Ride. The ride was open from the beginning of the 1996 season and was ‘officially’ opened by Michael Jackson on May 11.
Colorado Adventure has five
trains, each with six cars for a total of 30 passengers. The first car is designed as a locomotive
and offers two seats. The other cars all have three rows for a total of six people and a maximum of four trains can be used at one time.
Local residents have complained about the amount of noise generated by riders on the Colorado Adventure. The ride has been fitted with extra tunnel sections and also partly covered with noise barriers. In 2011, the Smokey Mountain was replaced by a new child attraction "Tikal".
