^^Did any one see the picture in the photo gallery that has the crate that says "Huss" on it? Did I miss anything because I thought Gerstlauer was building the Mystery Mine. Ha Ha Ha!

I'm sure this will be a real good coaster and whenever I can make it out to Dollywood again, I'll be sure to ride it. But what I can not figure out for anything though......$17 million for 1800 feet of track? Heavily themed or not, thats pretty steep, especially for an almost never heard of roller coaster company.

I have ridden the mine and it is cool. I won't spoil the exact layout but I will say that the 90* lifts are cool and that the rollover and immelman aqre very intense if you go to dollywood don't miss this amazing ride.

The best ride at Dollywood! The second Mystery Mine is over, you want to get right back in line to do it again. A must ride at Dollywood!

Mystery Mine is a great ride. The theming is spectacular! I think that this ride will really raise the bar for theming among regional parks. The ride is not as scary as it is fun, and is a very repeatable ride, very suiting for Dollywood. 5 stars! If this is an example of the type of attractions that will be coming to Dollywood you will definitely be seeing them on top soon. A must ride for anyone in the Great Smoky Mountain area.

What a disappointment! I was really expecting a great ride, but it just wasn't. The theming was awesome outside, but only decent inside. The ride is quite rough/jerky for as small as it is, not nearly what I was expecting. It's also unbelievably short. The drop, vertical lifts and hangtime on the final inversion are the only good things about the ride itself. 1/5 stars.

Mystery Mine is cool but could have been better. Of the 2 eurofighters I have been on so far I'd place it second.

That being said.. I really loved everything after the second lift.
