Afterburner (Fun Spot)

Afterburner was a roller coaster that operated at Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo in Angola, Indiana.

History
From 1977 to 1990, it was known as "Zoomerang", first at Circus World, then at its short-lived replacement, Boardwalk and Baseball. Both parks were located in Haines City, Florida. The coaster is the original prototype of Arrow Development's "Launched Loop" shuttle style coaster. It was also notable for formerly using an elevator to transport disabled passengers to the loading platform.

It was the only operating roller coaster with an inversion in the state of Indiana until 2008 when Steel Hawg opened at Indiana Beach.

Afterburner was taken down in early 2017 and its train, launch sleds, controls, brakes, roof and sections of staircases were sent to Frontier City in Oklahoma, where they are used on the Diamond Back coaster.
