This is one of the best designed, unique and probably the most underestimated roller coasters at the park. It is a must for anyone who visits the park. - Cody H

The Backlot Stunt Coaster (Formerly called The Italian Job) is an adequate EMV equipped ride and the first of it's nature at Canada's Wonderland. Unfortunately, like The Hulk coaster in Universal Studios Orlando which loses much of it's speed in the upward angled launch, the thrill of the EM launch in the Stunt Coaster is tempered and slowed all too soon by one too many upward spirals which totally kill the momentum of the ride and from that point on it is just a standard "wild mouse" style coaster that provides modest thrills at best. Certainly not worth the 60+ min. wait times that are standard on this one. - William LeMasurier
