The ride was originally installed at Drayton Manor Theme Park in 1984, In 1995 it was refurbished and renamed to the Klondike Gold Mine.
In 2005, the attraction was moved to Hayling Island’s Funland.
An escaped mine cart rattling precariously round its rusting track – you were on the back.
Inspired by the movies, the Klondike Old Mine ride was an edge of the seat, white-knuckle coaster.
It flinged passengers through a series of loops and spins at break neck speeds – wasn’t for the faint hearted.

Shame they got rid of this, it was a decent little coaster
Was it called The Python once?
Seany Bob I was just about to ask the same thing. I think it was. The Python was the first ever Roller Coaster I went on.
Seany Bob Yes it was then renamed The Klondike Gold Mine😀
It was good if I remember then they replaced it with h.force whitch didn’t last long at all
