River King Mine Train is a steel mine train roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis in Eureka, Missouri. Built in 1971, it was the park's first coaster and opened with the park on June 5, 1971. The actual ride itself is one of two tracks, one which was later sold. Today, the ride operates with its original name. The ride has also received modern upgrades, including a new control panel. It is a popular family and beginner coaster, since it is the smallest in the park. Often called simply the Mine Train, it is unique in the fact that it has no automatic system for the lap bars; instead, employees have to manually lock and unlock the bars. Trains are five cars with riders arranged two across in three rows. In total, the coaster has three trains that have a total capacity of 90 riders (30 each).

My favorite! Everything doesn't have to be fast and upside down! The baby coaster was always my favorite!
Looks like a backyard coaster
Yep that’s what they said about your mom
@@shawnambrus5490 Woahh Let the Guy Breathe!
This was always one of my favorite rides as a kid. 😃
Mine too! It took me a few years to brave up enough for Screamin' Eagle, so I went on the mine train over and over again!
I remember when they had 2 tracks for that coaster. That was many years ago.
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
This was the first ever actual roller coaster I rode when I was 4 years old,
I’ve been on almost every roller coaster there including this one
This was my first ‘roller coaster’ at 9. I’m 14 now and my favorite is velocicoaster and the beast
At 39 years old it is a baby compared to Cedar Creek Mine Ride. It looks like a great family coaster to get the youngins' used to riding them.
39? The River King Mine Train is 53. It was only built 2 years after CCMR. It was the original coaster that opened with the park in 1971.
Thx for uploading this
Yeah, it’s totally “baby’s first coaster”, but that’s why I like it, since I’m a big baby, lol. Haven’t been to Six Flags in ages, so this was fun. Final drop is much more fun in person, lol
Fun fact, when the ride opened in 1971, it originally had 2 tracks.
Then it was removed to make room for the ninja
One, I like that they have a lot of greenery and dodging through the trees.
Two, this reminds my of the moutain coasters only with lift hills instead of a 10 minute pull up a mountain.
The tunnel part used to freak me out every time.
Visited this park twice. It’s a fun ride. How it was a stand up ride in the day , I don’t know why.
That was "Railblazer," which was 1983 or 1984. That was a Stand-up ride that was open for a week or less, and a casualty happened because the obese lady was not able to secure herself, nor was the attendants able to do their job right of seeing if said securements were locking properly.
@@brucelombardo Oh yeah. I remember that.
@@pauliek5325 When the River King Mine Train first opened up, it was actually two competing tracks, mirrored layouts. One of the tracks was turned into the Rail Blazer in the early 1980s. After the casualty, the RB track was moved to another amusement park.
Good mine train
why are u everywhere
That was almost exciting.
This would be awesome after dark
I worked this ride a couple times the summer of 2009. im still shocked they man the top of the first chain lift. never understood why, was alwasy a great position to be rotated into
Is this the one that had two tracks before
Yes. See RCDB entry 125.
Funnn. ❤
I can't imagine how this would have felt when it had the stand up trains on it
Exactly what is that,?
@@369284ab It was the 1984 season and was one of the first standups. It had mechanical problems, so the trains were switched back to the original ones.
Not much different, but loading took FOREVER because of the weird Arrow stand-up restraint system.
The one in Great Adventure in NJ ALWAYS gave me black and blues the next day 😮😢. It's not made for tall people. You have to sit sideways. Very uncomfortable 😖.
Raging Wolf Bobs at Geauga Lake had the same problem with me. It was very painful on my knees so eventually riding with my hands up was not an option so I could use them to protect my kneecap with my hands.
Six Flags is gross. I’ll gladly spend the extra to go to Disney
I had the opposite reaction watching this than most of you. It looked to me like poorly maintained, boring garbage.
What I was thinking was that it was probably more fun on the actual ride than in the POV video.
It looks pretty nice for a 53-year-old roller coaster designed and built by hand
An 8-year-old who is just getting used to coasters might disagree.
For an early Arrow mine train it's quite smooth and fun. I guess if all you want is thrilling coasters you wouldn't like it, but this is the best of the 5 early mine trains I've been on.
