  • This Arrow Dynamics Mine Train coaster opened in 1993 and takes full advantage of its hilltop terrain as it cruises at speeds up to 48 mph (77 km/h) along 3022 feet (921m) of track that features two tunnels. Did you know that until 2011, the third and fifth cars of each train were positioned backwards?
    You can watch the old video we posted to see what it was like to ride with the backwards facing seats: • Thunderation Front Sea...
    Silver Dollar City is located in Branson, Missouri.

    This train is faster than it looks, and is one of the best mine trains I have ever been on.
    For an even better experience, I suggest riding it at night (Moonlight Madness event preferred)!! You won't be disappointed.

      @FinMints 3 года назад +2

      This is probably just me, because I am not someone who would ride something like time traveler, or even Powder Keg, but this this is scary the first time you watch it because it goes a lot steeper than it shows it does. I just got off it and wanted to tell my opinion, so I know because I just rode it. This would probably be something simple for people who like things like Time Traveler, but for people who don’t like big roller coasters and like the simple ones, this would be something for you. It’s a little upped from the ride I ride at Magic Springs, called Big Bad John, but this thing is so fun.
      Just a little exclaimer, if you are like me, your throat will be sore at the end of this ride. :)

      As someone who's been on this coaster, this pov does not give it justice, the speed and intensity is so much more, when you go around that spiral into the mineshaft it's really intense, and if you are ridding in the back you better hold on, it's rough as heck.

    The layout is the opposite of the Cedar Creek Mine Ride. On this one you start out with a double helix, go into some other elements, then eventually a lift hill and end going through a shed with extra trains. In the Mine Ride, you start out going through the maintenance shed, then up a lift hill, some other elements, another lift hill then eventually end with a double helix. The only difference is the second lift hill and a few spans over water.

    I rode this last weekend and they only run one train at a time now. It had twice the wait time as Wildfire. I think one of the trains is broken. It has also gotten very rough. It gave me a headache like The Boss does in SF Saint Louis. The shaking was the worst in the double helix. Everyone pretty much said “ow” when we pulled back into the station.

    I was there in the 70’s and I remember a different mine train that ended with an effect of bright light and blaring train horn to scare you into thinking you were bound for a head on collision with a freight train, then the bottom dropped out with a steep descent.

    For those wondering that building as soon as you leave the gates is the time Traveller
    this coaster goes a max of 48mph on the drop after the lift hill I recommend don’t sit on the side close to where you get on at because when you go through the tunnel @ 0:48 there is a turn it gave me very minor neck pain cause I wasn’t paying attention whereas on the other side you are already leaning outward so I stays the same
    But other than that one of the best rollercoasters ever in my opinion ( I don’t like roller coasters and said “I don’t like this and oh sh!t the entire duration of time traveler)

    Unfortunately I can't ride roller coasters anymore. I have AFib and the doc says no roller-coasters till we get it fixed. I will miss the sdc roller-coaster

    That lifthill at the end do be ruining some of the fun, the sacrifice you make for starting the ride off right out the gate.
