I KNOW YOU WONT AGREE, SO KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOUR SElf, but I think of this ride as one of the best rides at over texas. - Steven D

My first roller coaster. I have to ride it every time I am in the park or my day is not complete. Enjoy the ride through the greenery and see the sites provided to enhance the experience. - Carl Stovall

This mine train coaster provides simple thrills and decent amounts of fun for the whole family. There are a few real nice moments at the end of the circuit that lift this ride from fair to good. - James Rao

Unexpected finale pushes this coaster from being average to good. Mid-track miner's settlement scene was very appreciated. - Rocklin Terrell
