Opened on September 23rd 1980 this is a long time favourite of many guests. Wonderfully themed with twists and turns through moutains, caverns and old west mining companies. Speeds can reach 30miles per hour and there are at least three significantly felt drops but it's nothing too serious. The most wild ride will be at the back of the train whilst up near the front is a bit milder.

 

This ride is really beautiful after dark but remember to remove any loose items from your person, they WILL fall out during the ride
