[1][2] The park was created by Bruce and Kim Voigt, who had previously opened the Mineshaft Coaster at the Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain in Big Bear Lake, California,[3] and Scott and Louis Towsley.

[5] Many citizens opposed the decision as it was near a residential area and visitors may create noise and traffic.

[6][7] The park was delayed from a fall opening due to supply chain issues.

[8] The Canyon Coaster, the park's namesake, has a backdrop of mountains along its 1 mi (1.6 km)-long track.

[8][10] It also offers tubing, where in the summer there are 400 ft (120 m) of the track as opposed to winter where the natural mountain is used.
