THE ULTIMATE: A Mini rollercoaster
ONE OF the USA's major theme parks is honouring the Mini by building a Mini rollercoaster. It is an indication of just how the Built-In-Britain Mini has captured the imagination of the US market. Paramount Film Studios says it will have the rollercoaster - mimicking the scenes in the Italian Job film - ready at its King Island theme park for the Spring 2005. A duplicate of the fun ride, named the 'Italian Job Stunt Track', is also being built at Paramount's theme park in Canada. The final high-speed scenes of the 2003 Italian Job film will be recreated through loops, drops and 90 degree corners at the theme parks in Cincinnati and Toronto. Riders will sit in a Mini which is 30% smaller than a working car, and will go through tunnels, drive down stairs, dodge near-collisions and avoid explosions. Hollywood special effects and audio-recordings inside the specially-designed Mini Convertibles will recreate chase scenes as the cars race along the track. The rollercoaster finishes by splashing through an LA-style aqueduct.
