  • The runaway Mine Train Coaster takes you over dips, bends, and through a rock tunnel!
  • Bump and shake when you give the Gold Mine Bumper Cars a spin.
  • The Miner’s Maze will provide hours of exploration and fun with its tubes, slides, ball pits and power blasters!
  • Let the Chuck Wagon Ferris Wheel take you two stories high.
