Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain

Tom Spackman Sr., owner of Indiana Beach, designed a dark ride called Superstition Mountain.  It opened during the 1978 season.  The ride took place inside a  mountain made out of blown cement.  It had mine cars that ran on a 60-volt electrical track.  While in the mountain, they passed scenes of wild animals, falling barrels, waterfalls, and even a simulated earthquake.  While the ride was popular with guests, it suffered from limited capacity problems and frequent maintenance difficulties.  So a few years ago, Tom Spackman Jr. began to consider ways of renovating Superstition Mountain.
