This roller coaster, along with Son of Beast and the Beast itself, was one of the roller coasters I had to ride twice. I see a lot of people criticizing the roller coaster elements, i.e. the speed of launch, the length, etc. However, just bear in mind that this was made as a family coaster. The theming is great, and that is really the ride'.s main selling point. I especially enjoyed the flame effects midway through the ride. This coaster is great to take a break on, and I'.m really surprised you don'.t see too many things like this around, as it was very charming and enjoyable. I just don'.t reccomend going on it if the line is long, as I don'.t think its worth a huge wait. One last thing that I thought was funny: With Paramount out of the picture, it was renamed ".Backlot Stunt Coaster.". Even so, it still follows the plot and theming of the car chase in the movie ".The Italian Job.". It'.s as if they scrateched out ".The Italian Job". on the sign and wrote ".Backlot". over top of it. I always thought that was funny.
