The story of Mine Blower
Mine Blower opened at Fun Spot America’s Kissimmee park in 2017, bringing a wooden coaster with an inversion to the Southeast United States. The park describes it as the only wooden coaster in the region to turn riders upside down. fun-spot.com· coasterpedia.net
The Gravity Group developed the ride for its compact Florida setting, where the completed structure occupies ground once used by two go-kart tracks. Construction called for a carefully arranged course, folding the track through a confined site. thegravitygroup.com· mynews13.com
From the lift hill, the train gathers speed through banked turns and a single zero-g roll above the station. The arrangement made Mine Blower an unusual achievement in wooden coaster design when it arrived in Kissimmee. thegravitygroup.com· coasterpedia.net
In later years, Rocky Mountain Construction renewed the ride’s most demanding sections of track, after which Mine Blower returned to service at the Kissimmee park. fun-spot.com
