A good ride. It was better when it was based on Indian Jones. Definately worth a ride every visit to PKI.

I heard the ride is very random and doesn't make much sense. Like the lift throught the tunnel back up to the station.

A great mine ride roller coaster. I thought it had an interesting layout and was worth the 15 minutes that my group was in line. I loved the themeing and the tunnel at the end. This is a must ride attraction

This is my favorite Mine Train coaster. Not too rough and fairly exciting.

One of the better faster mine rides.... I like how it just drops off and picks up speed right away... and as other have said.. its funny how you go up the biggest lift on the ride...And it just ends.

Fun ride. A little jerky, but i like the restraints. Very high capacity makes it always have a short line.

This is much much much much better than Cedar Creek Mine Ride. It's kinda like a mini Beast in a way because it takes all of the turns very quickly, it has tunnels and hugs the ground for much of the ride and it's pretty long.

My personal favorite Arrow Mine Train. Possibly my favorite Arrow coaster...

I'm so in love with this coaster. It's the best mine train out there period (next to Thunder Mountain, which is realyl just awesome for the themeing not so much the wild coaster experience). It really is my favorite coaster in the park. lol. Its got fantastic pacing, nice quick jerky turns, lots of great theming, and sound effects, and there is never a wait. Such an under appreciated ride. Just means more laps for me right? :o)
