Indiana Beach's Superstition Mountain began as a powered dark ride built in-house in 1978. To update the aging attraction the park hired Custom Coasters in 2002 to renovate and replace the ride system with a wooden roller coaster. Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain is a one-of-a-kind ride with a unique elevator lift to raise the cars to the top of the track instead of a traditional chain lift. The two and half minute Mine Ride journey combines dark ride scenery, animatronics, audio, and lighting effects with the excitement of a wooden roller coaster. Cars travel both inside and outside of the mountain and navigate tight passages resembling a mine, sharp turns, and small descents. Oddly enough, Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain was the final project of the now-defunct Custom Coasters.
