fun little arrow family mine train. The tunnel is a little more intense than the rest of the coaster. ;) - Eli Katzman

The oldest coaster in the park is an Arrow runaway mine train. It provides simple, mediocre fun for the whole family. - James Rao

I don't care for rollercoasters, however, I enjoyed riding the River King Mine Train. It's a very simple ride with no large drops. If you prefer attractions like the Screaming Eagle, then this won't be thrilling. But if you wouldn't be caught dead on the Screaming Eagle, the Mine Train is a nice way to have the roller coaster experience. Tip: There is one "dip" at the very end that does give you that "dropped stomach" feeling. However, if you can handle the Log Flume, you'll definately be able to go on the Mine Train. - Mickey Fan
