The Underground (roller coaster)
The Underground is a wooden roller coaster manufactured by Custom Coasters International located at Adventureland in Altoona, Iowa. This attraction is located next to the Frantic Freeway.[1] This attraction features two small lift hills to suspend riders. This ride's lifts are unique as no drops are present. This attraction is largely considered a dark ride instead of a roller coaster because it does not feature what a conventional roller coaster has to offer. The official description of this attraction is "Tour the old mine and try to solve the mystery of Bad Bob."[1] The attraction features 7 cars per train. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows for a total of 28 riders per train.[2]
