Official Runaway Mine Train POV - 4k 60fps - Six Flags Great Adventure

This week's 4k POV is bringing us all the way back to 1974 with the Runaway Mine Train!
This Arrow Dynamics classic opened with the park on July 1, 1974, and you will need to hold onto your hats as the train chugs through a series of twisty helixes, curves, and hops, through the untamed foliage of the old west!
Don't be surprised when your train takes a pulse-quickening drop right over the beautiful lake, so close that you can practically see the gold nuggets under the water. If only that train would slow down long enough for you to grab ’em.

One of the hidden gems of the park, I always ride it a few times as its got a pretty fast turnover. The part over the water is the best.

[@anniyahasiya7931]

ABSOLUTELY i agree

I hate this ride. Way too rough for me lol

[@DavidWRyan]

Runaway mine train is a classic. I’ve ridden this countless times since I was tall enough! I think it was my first “big” coaster. It’s great that it’s still running after all these years.

[@cofcoasters]

This is actually one of my favorite Arrow Mine Trains, that helix with the INSANE laterals and the crazy ejector hill after it are NUTS, it’s definitely a top tier Arrow Mine Train for me for sure

[@dougronald561]

It actually is. Also the way it gets really close to the lake.

[@RMCthrills]

I agree with you it’s my favorite mine train

[@chipweather]

That airtime on the water is super good!

[@triplereeds]

I love you’re profile picture btw. I’m actually asexual too XD And yeah, it’s crazy! It’s supposed to be a graceful mine train, but then you throw that shit in there, it’s like, wow

i was an operator for this in 97 and 98 and i was also a trainer for it in 98 👍👍

[@zacharyelder349]

Well this is truly a great classic coaster and i have a feeling that Runaway Mine Train here at Six Flags Great Adventure should have a plaque of becoming a national historic landmark from the American Coaster Enthusiasts.

[@SILLISEALS]

Love this ride! It’s a bit jerky but it was my first ever roller coaster, I will forever love it

[@williemakeit2346]

It was my very first roller coaster as well, way back in 1987. My grandfather took a then 7 year old me on it and later that same day we rode Rolling Thunder. My deep love of roller coasters was born that day.

[@laurenmarie9332]

The screaming is ridiculous like it’s not that serious 😂

[@thiswhyistayhome]

If I don’t scream I get awful feeling in chest when it drops

[@tacotago000]

Bro, when I went, it was wayyyyy faster than this. By the time we got to the twist, the coaster was already at its max speed. It could be that or maybe it just looks slow on camera

[@DragonQueen78]

It's called having fun and it doesn't have to be terrifying

[@badarchive]

That wooden coaster next to it looks like fun, I hope nothing happens to it!

that’s El Toro, really rough. it derailed though and is closed, won’t open for at least a year

[@sixflagsgreatadventure]

El Toro is one of our signature attractions, and we are working diligently toward reopening the ride this season following testing and a full safety inspection by both internal and external experts.

[@triplereeds]

El Toro derailed and probably won’t open for the rest of the season, I also hope nothing happens either! Best ride at the park!

[@justdacommunfolover2063]

El toro is open right now and when I went there it stopped for 10 seconds or so and didn’t work but then they opened back again during the same day

this is a classic, i love it! its still smooth as ever and i hope it stays in the park until the end ❤

[@dougronald561]

They loosened up the brake run, too. There’s a pothole towards the end, which comes unexpectedly and actually adds to the fun.

[@janetr7022]

It’s a classic ~ from 1974! 🎢 Best part was when it’s close to the water. Great memories❗️

[@mitchellries256]

I can't believe they got rid of Rolling Thunder but kept this. Not that I am saying they shouldn't keep this (they definitely should), I am just saying they should've also kept Rolling Thunder to.

[@jeffd.9422]

Rolling Thunder was the best!! They need to build another wooden coaster that is not so fast and intense as El Toro.

[@jayydarailfaner549]

@@jeffd.9422 so you would like a roller coaster that’s less fast & intense? Lol sounds like a downgrade to me

[@phyein4815]

Rolling Thunder was great as well and has me just as nostalgic thinking about it being my first "scary" ride, but it's hard to complain too much when you have such a worthy successor as El Toro. This ride should be a permanent fixture though without a doubt.

[@triplereeds]

That last airtime hill got more airtime than Nitro honestly

[@JJPLAYZRBLXYT]

six flags great adventure its the bests

[@aaronzegas5270]

For my money, it really has a lot going for it. Tallest and second fastest coaster in the world, a very respectable hyper, one of the best wooden coasters in the world, an above-average floorless B&M looper, an outstanding flying coaster, a pretty fun mine train, amongst others.

[@AngusarusRex]

Sometimes I wish they would replace the upstop pads on RMT with upstop wheels. It would make the ride a little smoother. Sometimes, I wish Arrow never went bankrupt.

[@Charleskesilatgmail]

I like the pads because of the sound it makes on the last airtime hill!

[@phyein4815]

One of the best days of my childhood, coming here in 92 and this being first coaster I ever rode. After this I was obsessed with riding the bigger and bigger rides, but I still had to build up to em as well as grow... I remember being there for Batmans first year and wanted to do it so bad, but I wasn't even 54 inches tall yet, and a nearly 3 hour queue was unimaginable to my 8 year old self. Rolling thunder was next, but I think it wasn't until the Chiller's first year when I returned and finally started doing all the big boy rides. All that said that 92 visit and riding this the first time is a really special memory for me. I loved the whole frontier adventures section of the park - this, Log Flume, the beautiful log station for this and sky ride, the Whoop de do (?) Musical Revue (I used to have a boot shaped glass mug for from this), and of course the Super Teepee. Ah nostalgic rambling. Whatever this is a great first coaster for anyone, especially if drops make you nervous like they did for me at first. It's quite gentle on that front.

[@janetr7022]

My first roller coaster ride too ~ in 1974 when it first opened. The line was maybe 1/2 hour long. I can’t imagine a 3 hour long line for any ride, yet I’ve heard that’s how it is now in many amusement parks. That’s just wrong, especially considering the ticket prices.

[@akcalo]

My fave ride growing up

[@SawyerMacDonald]

that last hill gives rmc level ejector for no reason at all, making the rest of the ride worth it 😂

[@lmaowhat7522]

This ride was good. Almost hurt myself but yeah

[@Mr.SingleRider]

Being a coaster enthusiast, I like this more than some b&m loopers 💀. Compared to one, Mine train has some bite, containing a mad ejector hill at the end. So, logically a taller, faster, and a ride that has more inversion must be better! Nope. No force, no airtime no ####. Also this ride ain't not rough. I mean, it has a little jankyness but that's arrow for you. I mean the one thing medusa has over it that it's all glass smooth. But does that matter when you have no force?

As somebody who went on runaway mine train I can confirm that this ride is not comfortable. The ride is completely rough and makes rough turns. Not only that the ride sounds like it was built with some random tools found in the 1800s. Totally wouldn’t go on this ride. You might wanna leave this ride last or just never go on it at all.
