Mine Blower Roller Coaster To Receive New RMC ReTrack
Fun Spot America Kissimmee and Rocky Mountain Construction are working together on the parks Mine Blower Roller Coaster.
Mine Blower, the only wooden roller coaster in Florida with a Zero G Barrel Roll is going through some changes in part due to the relationship between Fun Spot America and Rocky Mountain Construction.
The excitement is building in the roller coaster community over a retracking project that is currently underway for Mine Blower.
“Working with RMC on our ArieForce One roller coaster at Fun Spot Atlanta in Fayetteville, Georgia, has been nothing short of incredible. Now, to work with RMC and their 208 ReTrack Solution on Mine Blower is a game changer for our park,” said John Arie Jr., President and CEO, Fun Spot America.
208 ReTraK is RMC’s latest innovation in track replacement and is based on their patented I-Box track system. RMC states “this product lasts up to 5 times longer than traditional wood coaster track and eliminates the need for continuous inspection, repair, and replacement of track sections”.
Additionally, 208 ReTraK is able to utilize a ride’s existing trains, mechanical system, and controls. This delivers a smoother ride, reduced downtime, and improved wheel longevity at a reasonable price.
The RMC retrack focus will be on the most dynamically loaded sections of the coaster’s track in order to enhance the ride. The goal is to complete the project before the busy summer season and Fun Spot’s 25th Anniversary celebration.
“We are very pleased for the opportunity to work with Fun Spot again and help bring thrills and smiles to their guests’ faces,” said Darren Torr, President and Owner, Rocky Mountain Construction.

Fun Spot invites everyone to follow them on their social platforms to view current construction photos, project updates, and to learn the announcement of Mine Blower’s reopening date, later this season.
