Mayan Mindbender, Indoor steel roller coaster at Six Flags AstroWorld, Houston, US
Description
Mayan Mindbender is a steel roller coaster enclosed within a pyramid structure that propels riders through a series of twists and turns. The ride operates with trains carrying multiple passengers on a continuous circuit through the darkened interior.
History
The ride originated as Nightmare at Boblo Island Amusement Park before being relocated to Houston. It later moved again and operated under a different name at another location.
Culture
The design draws from ancient architectural themes, creating a thematic setting as riders move through the pyramid structure. This visual approach helped distinguish the ride from other coasters at the amusement park.
Practical
Visitors should know the ride has a height restriction and the entire experience lasts only about ninety seconds. The compact indoor design allows the park to move riders through efficiently.
Did you know?
The ride uses a special booster wheel system that accelerates riders through the darkened pyramid interior. This propulsion method creates distinctive motion effects as passengers travel through the enclosed passages.
