Runaway Mine Train: The Oldest Rollercoaster at Alton Towers Resort

Rating:

The Runaway Mine Train is a powered steel roller coaster made by MACK Rides of Germany. The ride is located in the Katanga Canyon area of Alton Towers

As you fly round and round the track, sit two-by-two in the long, twisting train compartment. Riders can expect at least two circuits around the 1000ft track in order to take advantage of every twist and turn. Learn the route, lean into the twists, and smile for the camera!
