Like most every other ride sans Space Mountain the best rides start @ Disneyland.
I can remember going several times during construction and bugging the poop out of the guy patroling the fence built around the perimiter.
They could have made the ride much bigger than it is, but chose to confine it to a tiny area..... Too bad since the ride is so fun.
The best mine train coaster ever built.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS THING?!?!?!

It has had so many accidents, Disney needs to install a new operating system on it.

This roller coaster is easily the best mine train coaster ever built. It has had a few accidents, but those are due to negligence. The theming on this ride is among the best I have seen on any ride. Highly entertaining and thrilling. Worth as many rides as you can squeeze in while in the park.
