This 'family' type coaster is alot of fun utilising the natural terrain with a couple of lift hills. Most of it these days is completely hidden from sight. That makes it a lot of fun as well as going underneath many of the other rides built in the large hill in the centre of the park.
This would be a great ride for even someone who doesn't like roller coasters.

The first coaster at SFMM. Still not bad. I like the use of the terrain and the helix at the end. Nice ride.

By today's standards, this ride isn't that exciting. But it's still a very fun ride.

This coaster uses the terrain more than any mine coaster I've seen besides ThuNderaTion. Very fun ride, and nice that they still have the original coaster in the park. I also like the original skid brakes. Most mine coasters have switched to the fin brakes these days.

A pretty darn good family mine coaster. However, that's about the only way to describe this. It's not special in any respect.

Good for a mine ride, probably one of my favorites.
