Backlot Stunt Coaster

In the middle of the ride, cars screech to a halt for this scene.  When the ride opened, the helicopter would rise up and shoot at the cars, bullets caused water splashes, and a ball of fire erupted from a barrel.  After the flames, cars were launched through a long, dark, winding tunnel.  Unfortunately, a lot of the special effects aren't operating any more.

The metal fins located under the cars are used for the Linear Induction Motor launch.
