About Runaway Mine Train

Runaway Mine Train is a Mack Rides mine train coaster in Katanga Canyon at Alton Towers, opened in 1992 with a layout drafted by John Wardley. The powered train runs two circuits per ride along about 300 m of track, reaching 36 km/h. It has an 11 m drop and passes through a tunnel section shared with Congo River Rapids. There are no inversions, which makes it a gentle ride for families.
