[@bushstarwindclan856]

last Tuesday my very first at Magic Springs, I went on that ride. IT WAS AWESOME

[@KennedyLamar]

I rode that one!! It scared the crap out of me but I rode it!!! 😂

[@Robbie06261995]

It's so weird seeing the mirror image mine train from St. Louis. Would've been cool to see them "race" one another.

[@TonyWDWCP]

I like to call this, the poor man's big thunder mountain

[@zac613]

actually it's original home is 6 flags St. Louis right next to it's sister River King Mine Train. After this coaster was taken out 6 flags st louis put Ninja in it's place.

[@zac613]

may i ask what were the changes? i love the history of 6 Flags Mid America (yes even the dark history).

[@loganlowe2012]

i love this ride

[@jennystratmann6198]

I'm going this Sunday!!!

[@oliviagrace9527]

This is my fave ride the tunnel is scary tho

[@Ardwin]

it is it was the first i rode on when i was like 10

[@LordChubChub]

At least they named this ride correctly. This ride really is "Bad"

[@hellokittyify]

i love how this ride was inspired by a song :))))) it's Big Bad John by Jimmy Dean. So smart and creative....looks like it doesn't really live up to it's name, though :(

[@stampycatfan01lol]

Although this ride is a bit uncomfortable on some parts, I still LOVE this ride! Ride Rating: 69/5

[@laurmakenna9561]

stampycatfan01 me to it was fun the part where we went side to side and stuff

[@redique]

LOL I laughed so hard at that.

[@Michael._.01]

I was about to get on it but it got stuck

[@emmaclaire9242]

Struck by what

[@zac613]

actually this coaster was originally at 6 flags st louis right next to River King Mine Train( they raced each other). 6 flags st louis replaced this coaster with the Ninja.

[@kina1537]

I think sharpe is more than one person

[@AJN509]

Seems to me all "mine" themed rollar coasters are not really good.

[@madisyndeidel5242]

yea it is totally big and bad

[@Kharing]

It looks like it should be called Small & Mild

[@laurenalexis2837]

Thai is my FAVE ride ever

[@michaelbraswell6586]

Olivia grace

[@redryan305]

I say its more like Thunderation at SDC

[@missy45349]

This must be made for younger kids

[@harryjones8988]

oof

[@RaymondArellano1999]

Thunder mountain is better

[@WolffeLive]

Backing out of your driveway is more thrilling than this.

[@swaggyc6956]

[@PatrickNCopes]

Niazkilam 98 true

[@sofoxy0250]

That woman at 2: 13 her voice is annoying

[@koenmetekohy1296]

Fun fact: this ride used to be at Six Flags St. Louis and dueled a identical track. They relocated one track to Dollywood, and then relocated it to Magic Springs, but the original track still operates at Six Flags St. Louis

[@lilD4412]

The ending tunnel part is scary I thought I would hit my head

[@jrkstl]

Good to see this ride in action. I haven't ridden this since it was one half of the RIver King Mine Train at Six Flags (over Mid-America/St. Louis). I also didn't get to ride this when it was in Dollywood, so it's interesting to see the changes that were (presumably) made by Dollywood after the third lift. This ride was a big part of my childhood. Thanks for posting this!!

[@ParkersUniverse]

First!

[@scotthayes5933]

Big Bad John is a great ride, one of the only rollercoasters I could get my mom to ride with me.

[@ctechie06]

Now I see why Dollywood sold it to this park and replaced it with the TN Tornado.

[@DirtyBallsPodcast]

looks.....relaxing

[@crazee4mm]

Reminds me a little of Gold Rusher at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

[@sofoxy0250]

July 25, 2014 my family and I are going there I'm gonna ride that

[@loganlowe2012]
