Mine Train roller coaster
- Mine Train roller coaster
A Mine Train roller coaster is a steel roller coaster whose trains depict a set of mine carts, apparently pulled by the reproduction of a steam locomotive, often designed in a cartoon style. Most Mine Train roller coasters are themed in the style of a mine, a Western scene or simply a mountain range.
The first Mine Train roller coaster of its kind is Mine Train ("Run-A-Way Mine Train" until 1995) at Six Flags Over Texas. Built by Arrow Dynamics in 1966, thus Mine Train is the oldest roller coaster in the park; and together with Matterhorn Bobsleds (built in 1959 also by Arrow), is one of the first roller coasters with tubular steel tracks.
Other notable Mine Trains are the Colorado Adventure in Phantasialand and the Big Thunder Mountains in various Disneyland parks.
