Runaway Mine Train front seat on-ride 4K POV @60fps Six Flags Over Texas

There are currently 15 of these Arrow Dynamics mine train coasters in operation, but this one was the first when it opened in 1966. It was followed by five more over the next six years, all of them opening at Six Flags parks. The one at Six Flags St. Louis (River King Mine Train) was relocated to Dollywood (Thunder Express) and then moved to Magic Springs as Big Bad John, but can you name the only one no longer in operation (even after moving to another park)?
Six Flags Over Texas is located near Dallas in Arlington, Texas.

I love how everybody says this ride is shit not knowing this particular ride is probably the reason that every not-boring ride that they’ve ridden exists

[@patkmulderig]

3 lift hills is insanity. Ron Toomer was a mad man.

[@lorriwickingson1769]

First roller coaster for me in 1968! Seemed a lot bigger then! lol!

[@dfhouse]

Me too! I was probably about 5 or 6. I remember it being MUCH more intense.

[@orlandoturner7725]

They still haven’t put the waterfall cave back after the second hill lift

[@whataday13]

Ive loved this ride ever since I was a kid going in the 90's

[@KingBobCat]

I remember riding this as a kid when we visited Texas. It seemed like such an amazing ride! A real trip down memory lane for me now, so Thanks for Posting! 😃

[@elzzihsob]

There really is no coaster sound better than Mr. Freeze

[@ampheia]

I couldn't identify most coasters by sound alone, but I can identify Mr. Freeze instantly. It SOUNDS like a cold wind. Makes me wonder if it was intentionally designed that way or just a happy accident.

[@AliceF1380]

I love this ride! The clickity-clack of the lift hills is an awesome sound - FUN! 😊😊😊

[@asphaltandtacos]

I worked at that ride. I enjoyed being the lift attendant.

[@AliceF1380]

This will always be my all time favorite ride at SFOT. I have ridden it hundreds of times since 1980 and it is always fun! 😄😄😄

The only Arrow mine train that no longer operates even after relocating was Excalibur from Astroworld formerly known as Dexter’s Frebish Electric Roller Ride. This operated at Astroworld from 1972 to 1998 where it was put in storage at Frontier City from 1998 to 2005 when it was finally scrapped. Apparently during demolition and when it was relocated it was damage beyond repair.

[@ampheia]

This was my first "big kid" roller coaster. Still love it, but ugh, the jolt on that third lift hill is ridiculous! But the back is still the best on this one, especially at the end when you just watch each car in front of you vanish down the last hill before you go!

[@scottjackson1332]

I rode this the very first time when I was 6 years old. This would have been in 1971.

[@chandler7695]

This is the second tubular steel coaster built, after The Matterhorn at Disneyland.

[@ericjones1349]

My favorite mine train coasters are the ones outside of Disney Parks that features a thrilling experience and a setting based on the Old West.

[@Stagnant_Gravy]

The first Arrow mine train, and the jank shows it.

[@alangray2568]

Timber Topper/Rock N Roller Coaster at Opryland was a mine train. I ran that for 3 years. Those old skid brakes look so familiar.

[@mrjiggawatt]

My first coaster!

[@JoeLucero-r5l]

First 'coaster I ever rode, about 50 years ago. Rode it again back in Oct. when I was in Dallas on business. Still a lot of fun, but I don't recall it being as jerky as it was.

[@aerotrooper]

Once it gets going, it’s really something.

[@guyt6244]

This gotta be the original arrow mine train

[@GoudLoodje]

You’re correct

[@jaystarr6571]

The -Jogaway- Runaway Mine Train

[@SidewaysCollisionCenter]

I went on that and the last drop scared me

[@TheRealZCofficial29]

One word mrbeast

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

That’s it?

[@GoudLoodje]

Yes, remember this coaster is from 1966 and was one of the first steel coasters out there, along with being the prototype of this particular coaster type (Arrow Mine Train). Prototypes are usually less intense than the ones built after it, unless you talk about RMC Raptors but yeah
This coaster model eventually became Magnum XL 200 at Cedar Point, the world’s first coaster to be taller than 200ft, with some wicked airtime

[@ftw7026]

Well that looks boring as shit

[@The-Coaster-Craze]

It’s much more fun on the ride

[@GoudLoodje]

It was the mine train prototype tho

[@asphaltandtacos]

The ride is exciting
Your comment is boring

[@GoudLoodje]

@@asphaltandtacos ikr. If it wasn’t for Runaway Mine Train, all the other tubular steel coasters (aside from Matterhorn Bobsleds) probably wouldn’t even exist

[@bakersnuts100]

Sort of reminds me of the Trailblazer at Hersheypark. Low to the ground. Not to fast not to slow.

[@pamelamls]

This is "not to fast" because it's not a roller coaster, it"s a train.

[@GoudLoodje]

@@pamelamlsIt is a rollercoaster lmao

[@gordonwchas]

My favorite when we used to come here back in the 70's
