I love roller coasters that don’t go all out at the very beginning, ones that have two lifts with the last one being the highest or most exciting. This was a great example of an awesome roller coaster.
People are screaming on this ride...lol. But seriously, it's a cute (and long) ride. Great for little kids, senior citizens, and anyone in between who wants a laid back ride!
To be fair I screamed a bit during the final drop, but then again this was literally my first collar coaster ride 3 months after this video was shot (I'm a huuuge coward X_x)
Cant believe I was scared of this ride as a kid. but that was the late 70's and before we had these 900 ft coasters like we have today. Only thing that makes this coaster worth while is that last drop out of that building at the end. It doesnt look like it but its a nice drop and it catches you off guard.
This is an OLD coaster - it predates the Great American Scream Machine. It used to be surrounded by pine trees and undeveloped land. But Six Flags has expanded quite a bit over the decades. I'm glad this coaster has survived.
I'm old enough to remember when this was one of the only coasters they had at SFOG. They had a mini mine train version as well. It's a very simple coaster but still a lot of fun to ride. It would be good for those trying to get over their fear of coasters or for beginners.
this is a shell of its original , all the missing trees an two other mine sections. along with a themed lifts. In the 70's an earlh 80's one reason to ride this was it was temperature wise very cool in all the trees that his the other views of the track. almost a dark ride the foliage was so thick. now just looks sad like the burnt ground its on
This was the most laid back ride I’ve been on in a long time. It’s good for kids. I would say babies but there was so many babies crying on this ride yesterday. It may be a bit much for little babies because of the last dip. But it’s really chill😂😂If you like super fast rides with a big drop this isn’t the ride for you.(I love the big fast rides🤣) But this was still fun
i used to live in GA near Dahlonega. it used to be an old mining town. but iv found it funny how no one is able to pronounce the name properly. the right way of saying is da-lawn-e-ga. the name is Cherokee for gold.
Me, too! I remember going with friends when I was young & we'd ride this coaster multiple times per visit. I remember how exciting it was when the Scream Machine opened up but it was like a 2-3 hr wait every time! Good times.
Pretty Classy Lady I agree. It is a fun ride and fast on the last drop. This is the roller coaster that got me into coasters. I rode this for the first time when I was about 4 and I still ride it today.
It was fun. I'd ride it at least once every time at the park in the 80's. If I were a kid now, there's so many huge coasters there now, I doubt I'd find this special.
When SFOG opened in 1967 The Dahlonega Mine Train was the only coaster in the park. A couple of years later came the Mini Mine Train. It was in 1973 when the world's largest (or longest) coaster opened - The Great American Scream Machine. The 4th coaster was the Mind Bender opening a couple of years later.
There was never a line for this ride. Sometimes they would just ask if you wanted to go again, no need to get out. And it's a fun ride. Ride this ten times or stand in line for the bigger coasters.
Most roller coasters, have loops, twists, super high speed runs, curves and are higher up off the ground. This one, is much slower and lower to the ground. A very tame ride. One you could build on your own property. That would be cool.
@@904jagzsuck5 I really don't know. I' ve seen videos of those who have. If I was thinking about building my own, I'd contact a roller coaster maker. Or maybe a park that has full size coasters, and see if they could help me. Safety did be my first priority. Best of luck, if you build one.
@@ctg5679 You are correct. It would take lots of money, to build any coaster, in a backyard. But the insurance costs, would be enough, to keep most people, from building one.
I really enjoyed this in the 80's. We'd hope to get a little wet from Splash Water Falls next door. It's not as exciting as the other coasters but it was a good change of pace. Now with all the other coasters, I doubt I'd ride this if I was a kid.
I rode this one back in 1993 with my family. Yep, even my mom got on board (she's not a fan of coasters - height and speed don't agree with her) and she was holding a cherry slushie during the ride. That last drop - some of that slushie spilled onto me and my mom's purse.
Yeah I was one this once it was so jerky like 1 second your in the left side and the other second your actual hair almost falls off going to the right but that thing was fun! I'm in the car going to six flags over GA and I'm ask if I can on that with lil sis
I went there today thought that it was so scary so my parents were the only one who rode it BAHAHHAHAHA after my mom told me it wasn’t scary at all so I wanted to get on loll it was definitely not scary. It was my first time putting my hands up in the air on a roller coaster 🎢 loll the last part where you fall down into a cave, that was the funn one!! Well in my opinion, the ride was very bumpy!!
This was there when the park opened in 1967- 68 ish....it had a smaller version with it, a second coaster. Even more tame...this one is the "scarier' of the two, its about 50 years old...roller coasters probably were not as what we are use to today, the other coaster called " the great American Scream Machine "opened in 1976 and was the worlds tallest that year. It seems like a kiddie coaster by todays standards....but the scariest thing about it. Its amillion dollar machine being run by a minimum wage earning peeson who probably barely cares what they are doing for a living
This coaster looks great. Its not to high, fast, or even to rough. I like the scenery and the layout. Except that it does not need 2 lift hills, in my opinion. The train almost goes half way up or more on the 2nd lift hill. Maybe the last lift was needed, but if they would have designed it a little differently, they wouldnt have needed those lifts. If it was designed to go a little faster, then it would not need the 2 lifts. In my opinions. To bad they didnt save money from the 2 lifts and used it differently on the coaster. I dont like coasters w 2 or more lifts, unless its needed.
Grew up in Georgia. Loved this one as a teen in the late '80s. We'd ride it over and over again, as it was relaxing in the shade, and you could chit chat with friends on it. Shame they chopped down all the trees and de-themed it. Old West themes were popular with my parents' generation back then. They should give it a spooky/haunted theme.
@@hotelcalifornia898 - That's ok. Maybe when you get a little older you'll try other coasters. The Great American Scream Machine is fairly harmless. It's mainly just the high lift & drop at the beginning, but after that it just goes up & down and is fast. You don't go upside down or anything.
It used to be much more theme-oriented. The land surrounding the track was heavily forested, giving the sensation that the train was literally careening uncontrolled through a deep-woods mining camp. Along the route there were mining shacks, mining implements, rail cars, and if I remember correctly, life-sized figures dressed as 19th century gold miners. All of that seems to be gone now, leaving only a very generic coaster.
@@michaelvaughn2091 - Yes, you are correct. A lot of the themed statues & landmarks have been taken away around the landscape of the ride to make room for newer/bigger rides.

Now this is a coaster I could handle!
It’s soo fun
@Rihanna opens toys I thought I was going to cut my head out at the drop I was not expecting it at all
It was pretty fast lol i couldn’t handle it
Ikr bahahhaha
I rode that thing as a kid over 40 years ago! Can’t believe it’s still in the park!!!
The end has to be my favorite part; the screams mixing with the loud echoing of the tunnel gives awesome adrenaline :D
Finally a coaster not 150 feet above the ground. My kind of coaster
Still kills you because of how unsmooth it is
Very jerky and fast nowadays
When it is about to finished it pushes you back to your seat and that hurts
Only coaster that is above 150 feet at SFOG is Goliath, the rest are under 125 feet tall.
People are screaming on this ride...lol. But seriously, it's a cute (and long) ride. Great for little kids, senior citizens, and anyone in between who wants a laid back ride!
Beatrice Just lol my exact same thoughts
Im thinking those are canned screams. LOL
To be fair I screamed a bit during the final drop, but then again this was literally my first collar coaster ride 3 months after this video was shot (I'm a huuuge coward X_x)
it's because the turns and hills start so abruptly and they're so sharp, at least it was when I went
@@melissavanwinkle5853 IK, it hurt so bad 😂
It looks like a backyard coaster.
I’m laughing harder than I should be at this
Cant believe I was scared of this ride as a kid. but that was the late 70's and before we had these 900 ft coasters like we have today. Only thing that makes this coaster worth while is that last drop out of that building at the end. It doesnt look like it but its a nice drop and it catches you off guard.
It feels like one too.
Joelwee1028 Arrow minetrains always do
Bill Clay no 900 ft coasters but uh ok
Looks like they spared no expense on the theming for this ride.
LOL
This is an OLD coaster - it predates the Great American Scream Machine. It used to be surrounded by pine trees and undeveloped land. But Six Flags has expanded quite a bit over the decades. I'm glad this coaster has survived.
There used to be more trees around it, which made it relaxing in the blazing Georgia sun.
i miss when workers would be at the chain lifts to wave at you lol
This isn't scary so it might be the perfect first ride for my younger brother. :) Thanks for sharing!
This was my first coaster when i was younger. I loved it. The drop seemed much bigger back then. Haha.
Finally a rollercoaster I think I can handle.🤔
ngl i rode this at least ten times in a row one time when not a lot of people were at the park

Yeah I remember riding it when I was a kid in the 80’s and there were def more trees.
I went on this when I was 8. That last drop might has well have been the first hill on The Beast to me.

My back got hurt riding this lol. Fun ride
honestly my *only* favorite roller coaster, lol. its fun and doesnt mess with my fear of heights lol
Woah that's a pretty long ride
Rode this many times when I visited Six Flags.
1:36 Last time I saw a pov of this ride, a shit load of trees were there
Six flags doesn't like trees
If you want trees, Cedar Fair might have taken all of em, because their parks are actually really nice looking.

One of my favorites
It's a kid's ride for heaven's sake. A great introductory coaster to coasters for kids. If it looks boring, it's probably not for you, shuddup!
Absolutely loved riding this ride growing up. Didn't matter what new ride the park added. We would ride this one typically more than once per visit.
Me, too! I remember going with friends when I was young & we'd ride this coaster multiple times per visit. I remember how exciting it was when the Scream Machine opened up but it was like a 2-3 hr wait every time! Good times.
I’ve been on this ride many times and it is quite relaxing but a little bit jerky
Very interesting and neat ride. Have a nice day now.
What a Ride.
This ride hurt like hell.
I like how instead of banking one of the turns, they just raised the left rail off the spine
This ride is actually really fun and fast on the last drop
Pretty Classy Lady

My very first coaster
2:38 OMG it's a shed!
Also the ride does something!
I love the mine train!
I mean, not here to judge, but the one is Saint Louis.. Now your talking! But good ride, amazing my brother loves it
probably the first coaster built in the park
I do believe it was. And there were a lot of trees around it.

I know this is the first coaster ever built at sfog but man that’s a good plot of land to build a coaster on
Anyone know why they got rid of the trench thing at the top of the second lift? Is that new construction for something?
I plan on riding this as soon as social distancing is over
this ride is actually lowkey spooky at night
Listen to the screams....Gota love it
Wow😍

That last drop is pretty fast. If you're not a thrill seeker, then that might be too much for you
Those are the smallest chain lifts I've ever seen!

Well, this is all some kids have to ride because they aren't big/tall enough to ride the other coasters yet.

Is it weird when the first time it’s slow than the last time it’s so fast ?
Looks like they used RCT1 to design this.
Rather unique for an Aarow to have 3 lift hills (yes small lift hills) what was Arrow thinking?
Six Flags St Louis may suck but they still have the best mine train coaster
i was looking forward to coming here in the spring but i guess nevermind that

Can't go ride it in real life, right now so...
Replace this coaster with just boards and it would be perfect for experienced mountain bikers.
