The ride powers itself to 35 mph (55 km/hr). Because of this, it is prone to causing crashes if a brake failure occurs.
This ride doesn't need a lift hill as the train is powered. The train will gradually gain speed on flat track, collect speed on drops and slow down on hills.
In Real Life
The Mine Ride is primarily based on the Mack Rides powered coaster, using its mine train themed trains. The track also bears some resemblance to Schwarzkopf powered coasters.
