This fun roller coaster is a huge hit with family members of all ages. It is a runaway mine train in and out of darkness with many sharp hairpin turns that slide you back and forth in the car. The Imagineers have recently added some fun interactive elements to the queue. Kids love riding in the rear of the train!
