Candy Cane Coaster is a small steel roller coaster at the North Pole - Santa's Workshop, the Christmas-themed park at the foot of the Pikes Peak Highway in Cascade, Colorado. It is the park's only roller coaster, and the park describes it as a small coaster for the whole family.
The ride was built by Molina & Son's and runs a single train of five two-seat cars on an oval layout with a chain lift, themed in red and white stripes. According to RCDB, the park's first coaster was installed in the 1960s and replaced in the 1980s by the current ride, which has been refurbished periodically since.
The park requires riders to be at least 32 inches tall, and riders between 32 and 48 inches must ride with an adult.
