I thought that the Carolina Goldrusher was an excellent Mine Train coaster. You start off by noticing the beautiful trains, which were very well-maintanined. The locomotive front end alone adds a point. The ride itself was pretty good too. The first half was a bit boring, but the second half was pretty darn fun. The helix was nice, and the location was cool too, with trees and the tunnel being taken into account there. The ride is of medium length for a mine train, and it is just so pleasing to see it well-kept after all of these years, unlike other at parks. One bad thing about it, and pretty much any old coaster for me at least, is that it was very very cramped. If I remember correctly, this train didnt have seat dividers, which is always a plus though. After just 1 ride, I was very satisfied, and would have to say this surpasses the Dahlonega Mine Train and Goldrusher @ Magic Mountain as my favorite mine train. I almost want to give an 8, but I will settle with the 7 for now
