Runaway Mine Train
(43 votes)

Ride through the african mine of Katanga Canyon on this fun family roller coaster, winding through tunnels and trees, and close to the waters of Congo River Rapids. Take the opportunity to take in the scenery on your first lap as on the second the train rattles around much faster, making the sharp turns and twists even more thrilling! (Minimum Height: 0.9m)

Well this ride really is different to the others in the park, along with the other rides in it's area, the flume and Kengeta Canyon it seems to be what most people do in the afternoon to safe their clothes and end the day.

Personally I like the Runaway Mine Train because it's a great warm up for the cowards in the group, which there's always one... and it's one of the few rides you have time to think about as you ride.

This ride is the bees knees!

I wish at all themeparks there where more rides like this instead of building mega fast one's.

Fun Ride though
