I thought this ride was pretty neat. It looks like a standard Arrow or Vekoma mine train coaster, but it has alot of surprises. The on-board music is great and helps keep up the pace. It's a rather long ride for most coasters today due to a second hill and layout. When I watched them build this thing, I thought it was going to be a racer at first. Instead, you get a continuous-layout that just happens to have two parts. When the first layout ends, you come into the station right where you left it and go up another slightly taller hill parallet to the first hill. This layout is a little different and has a cool ending with the fire.
Overall, I thought this ride was a great PG rated ride that appeals to a broad range as do most mine train coasters. No real drops or thrills, but just alot of fun. A good "Middle School" between the kiddie coasters and the big ones.
