| Following the failure of ''Supercircus'' to fully utilise its maximum train capacity, a new mine train coaster track design was drawn up based more closely on the block circuit layout of ''The Abyss''. The initial results of this closer examination is ''Diesel Twister''. Test runs of this new track design have sent strong signals indicating that the new block circuit layout was a step in the right direction, although it was by no means perfect. ''Diesel Twister'' has an 8-block circuit as compared to ''Supercirus''<nowiki />' 15, but the trains on ''Diesel Twister'' are longer and the track was purposely designed to ensure as many of its trains were running on the track in tandem, so its actual maximum guest capacity is much higher&mdash;130 guests compared to ''Supercircus''<nowiki />' 42. This design has its drawbacks, however. While its profile is quite a bit narrower than ''Supercircus''', it is also noticeably longer. Furthermore, in the process of refining the track layout to ensure that no train spends too much time stationary mid-ride, the initial excitement rating of ''Diesel Twister'' fell by 0.24 points to its stated excitement rating here. Finally, compromises were made to make the track as compact as it could be, resulting in ''Diesel Twister'' having one less drop and many more banked turns than ''Supercircus'', so it has a significantly higher nausea rating.
