Although I'm not giving this a perfect rating, this is hands down the most pleasant suprise of my trip to adventureland!! Its the only ride that I got multiple rides in on. Although looking back I probably shouldn't have since I eventually ran out of time and didn't get to do all the rides that I wanted to.
Ok I admit it, my curiousity got the better of me to see what this ride even was and I watched footage of it on youtube before going. Even as a person who loves dark rides, I was less than impressed. It looked cheesy and slopped together and boring. As I got in to the preshow and the saw the animatronic miner in such bad shape, all I could think was "oh no this is going to be awful" Yes he's in really bad shape. He has lost his beard, his mouth doesn't even move. In fact his hand only barely moves and every once in a while his eyes open and close in a creepy manner. But once I got on the actual ride, I really enjoyed myself. Its got some really cool scenery and effects. As well as some really bad effects. The light shining that is suppossed to be a train is so fake its not funny. But all of this is ok. I like a park that has a ride like underground. Something thats really unique to them. And for that purpose, underground is really good.
