Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 48 inches

About Mystery Mine

The U.S.'s first roller coaster based on the Gerstlauer's Euro-fighter design, which combines an intimate guest experience with hair-raising 95-degree drops, and multiple inversions. Located in Dollywood’s Timber Canyon area, Mystery Mine is themed as a long-abandoned coal mine with an eerie past. Mystery Mine utilizes a state-of-the-art show experience built on special effects, audio and lots of excitement. -- Last edited by Jordan Christian

This was my first coaster that went upside down. I never liked coasters until rode this. I am now hooked. I love te turns and the drops. - Neal Schwinzer

Starts out rough but turns into a great ride. Excellent theming. The lift hills are completely vertical, which makes a great buildup for the drops. - Phil Noteware

Very cool theming and special effects. To be such a new ride is it very rough and jerky. - Jason A
