Black Diamond, Steel roller coaster at Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania.
Black Diamond operates with two-car trains accommodating eight riders through an enclosed steel track spanning 35 feet in height at a speed of 12 mph.
The roller coaster began its journey as Golden Nugget at Hunt's Pier in Wildwood, New Jersey, in 1960 before relocating to Knoebels Amusement Resort in 2011.
Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters engineered this family attraction, incorporating mining themes that reflect Pennsylvania's industrial heritage through its indoor track layout.
Riders must reach a minimum height of 42 inches to experience this three-minute indoor coaster journey, which combines dark ride elements with gentle slopes.
The entire course runs within an enclosed building where riders navigate through mine-themed scenes while experiencing mild drops and turns in darkness.
