Mini Mine Train
The Mini Mine Train opened in 1969 as a junior-sized sequel to the Mine Train in the park’s Boomtown section. Geared toward kids that aren’t yet tall enough for the bigger thrills, the coaster is enjoyable for the entire family. With a 36″ minimum height requirement (42″ to ride alone), the ride can accommodate young thrill seekers.
Tunnels along the track add excitement as trains snake around the course at a blistering 20 mph. The 1997 addition of Mr. Freeze forced parts of the Mini Mine Train to be rebuilt due to Mr. Freeze traveling directly over the ride.
Until it was removed to make way for the Mini Mine Train, the strange Sky Hook attraction occupied the land.
Mine Trains’ Sign
The original Runaway Mine Train was so popular the park ended up building the kiddie-sized Mini Mine Train for children not quite ready for its bigger brother.

The construction of Mr. Freeze forced the temporary closure and rebuilding of parts of the Mini Mine Train due to the rides’ close proximity to each other.
