Length

This steel mine train features tubular steel tracks that wind through naturally wooded terrain and architectural structures. The mechanical progression is powered by three distinct chain lift hills that elevate the train to initiate various gravity-driven segments. Riders travel in themed ore cars through a layout characterized by lateral forces, rapid directional changes, and a concluding drop into a dark tunnel. The experience emphasizes consistent motion and integration with the landscape over high-altitude drops.
