1986 – The Mindbender derails and kills three riders at the Fantasyland (known today as Galaxyland) indoor amusement park at West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta.[10]
On January 30, 2023, the mall decommissioned and closed the Mindbender after 37 years of service, in order to redevelop its space for new developments in the park.[4] Its trains were reused for All American Triple Loop, at Indiana Beach, United States.
All American Triple Loop (formerly Montaña Infinitum [“Infinity Mountain”] (2007–2014), Montaña Triple Loop [“Triple Loop Mountain”] (2014–2016) and Quimera[1] [“Chimera”][2] (2017–2019)) is a steel roller coaster at Indiana Beach in Monticello, Indiana.
Manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf, it was originally purchased by showman Rudolf Barth in 1984 who operated it as Dreier Looping for 12 years on the German fair circuit.
After this, it was the main attraction in three major theme parks: first spending 2 years in Sunway Lagoon as Triple Loop Coaster, next, it spent 5 years in Flamingo Land resort as Magnum Force, and finally at its third and most recent location at La Feria Chapultepec Mágico, as Montaña Triple Loop. In 2017 it was renamed Quimera. In 2024, it opened at Indiana Beach as All American Triple Loop.
I feel like a secondhand German roller coaster that went from Germany to Malaysia to England to Mexico now running secondhand Canadian trains arguably isn’t best named the “All American Triple Loop”.
Huh.
