The Next Generation Mine Train is Here: Skyline's New Trailrunner Family Coaster

[@KyaneTiger]

I’m loving the led lights on the track. The possibilities for that alone is truly worth making a note of

[@nolimitscoasterguy4813]

Glad to see skyline is going in the right direction

[@JapanD3V]

You can finally classify a Skyline Attractions ride as a roller coaster! But seriously, this *better* be good.

[@pre_s_t]

Yeah. Tidal Twister and that Harley Quinn ride didn’t do too well at all.

[@alaeriia01]

What about Brava?

[@frederikhein4195]

I really can see this being a great option for mid sized parks. Great to see that skyline finally gets out a true coaster

[@InfinitySike]

This looks like a really nice design for a kids coaster, it'll definitely inspire young enthusiasts to ride bigger roller coasters!

[@Lettuce2.]

I swear to god skyline, this better be good.

[@tigre17real8]

I was about to say that

[@maxhagenauer24]

I'm very glad to see the new skyline attractions and what they are doing, its truly amazing to see how they have improved.

[@IceCreamIslander]

I want skyline to succeed so bad these concepts look so fun and cool

[@frozen2golden]

I guess we now know what Magic Mountain will be replacing Gold Rusher with. I'm all for it

[@LM_studios16]

I believe all the SFFT teasers lead to this: It showed a piece of skyline track in a picture, and it shows the skyline booth for one of the SFFT teaser Facebook posts.

[@konichiwa3744]

Road runner is so fuking brutal. Like Jack hammer bad. Surprisingly hasn't derailed.

[@johnholder4208]

They are aging like a fine wine. They just get better, more creative and innovative each year. 👏👏👏

[@cynthiapickett7403]

Definitely need more family coasters!

[@Aerolandaircraft]

This looks awesome! If one ever comes to Australia, I will be glad to try it out!

[@TheAckeePlant]

I hope this is good, I want them to succeed

[@TeganCantEven]

This looks so much fun! I don’t like big drops so there aren’t always many coasters I can ride, so I’m always excited about a good “family” coasters!

[@DankPeezy]

Hmmm. I actually think Vekoma is the future of the mine train. I look at Calamity Mine at Walibi Belgium and Big Bear Mountain at Dollywood. Combine the 2 and that's the future of mine trains. I do see the Skyline model as a cheaper alternative though.

[@CoasterStudios]

Vekoma definitely has some great options as well!

[@samuelzackrisson8865]

It looks very cool so I hope it's as good as it looks

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

i really want this company to succeed but their past is not great so we will see what happens

[@Justin.Franks]

A 40" minimum height is nice, it opens it up to pretty much any kid over 5. A lot of current mine trains have a 42" or 48" minimum. Also the single-row cars will allow for some really tight turns, a great way to make a "low and slow" coaster more exciting. Overall I think this will be a great line of family coasters.

[@sirgerito]

I like the light a lot I feel like it makes more sense to keep the speed natural

[@jamalbrown8555]

Wow this ride looks like so much fun looks like a smooth ride. That is so cool 😎

[@feesrmt]

looks fun

[@pearsonbescooip4774]

I swear to god if six flags or any other park puts sponsorships on the led lights on the track I’m not gonna have a six flags day.

[@jacobthomasdanao]

This is Planet Coaster type of customization and theming right here with those LED screens

[@coasterbro6704]

If the titan track is skylines hybrid than this is their single rail

[@maxhagenauer24]

As skyline may have bad coasters currently, there track work and track design is very smart and reliable.

[@handledav]

cool

[@robw5741]

If he says pasketti bowl one more time

[@purplechicken86]

The biggest thing I'm curious about with the led panels is how often parks would need to / want to swap panels due to individual pixels being out.

[@johnholder4208]

LED panels are a nightmare! I'm with you on this.

[@Dalton363]

I feel like this will go to Dollywood or canadas wonderland in the future

better than Harley Quinn (I hope)

[@GPK1075]

I hope these mine trains are going to explode, I wanna ride one of these!

[@TheNinjaDC]

The problem with Skyline is they're trying to fill the niche of ultra-low budget coasters. This means their creations are cheap, and they feel it. See Harley Quinn Crazy Coaster. Skyline can do amazing layouts. Look at their work with GCI, and what they can do with a budget. However, what they can do with a low budget as yet to achieve anything above absolute failure.

[@David9PM]

Looks like the RMC T-Rex model.

[@Jcoaster95]

Idk why anyone is worried about this not being good, when it's basically just a steel GCI with single rail titan track. No new and wild concepts like Harley Quinn or Tidal Twister, just a typical Jeff Pike layout that looks extremely similar to some of his beloved masterpieces like Prowler and Mystic Timbers.

[@xcoasterenthusiast]

Day 1 of asking for the Toverland episode of Coasting thru Europe

[@CoasterStudios]

It’s coming soon!

[@thebladerunner5226]

First hahahah 😁😁(Also was wondering if y'all think Busch Gardens Williamsburg 2024 coaster should be a RMC single rail coaster) ?

[@Jakebtw]

I doubt they are getting another coaster this year

[@Jakebtw]

Wait nvm that’s two years from now maybe

[@SunsetWingman]

They should just make a big coaster that only has LEDs that move around the track like that little model. That way I can watch it from the ground and not get sick

[@34tadams]

I feel like silver dollar is gonna get this in the next 15 years.

[@coasterfootage]

kewl

[@revimfadli4666]

Hope they work out their CAM/CAD roughness issues, maybe even get some training from RMC on how to do it right

[@CoasterStudios]

They do their own track now- it’s not through RMC anymore

[@QDude24]

Is this a real single rail coaster or a fake single rail like the Hot Racer

[@grizogames5092]

Skyline really needs more attention. Their first two coasters were not the best. You know who else had their first two coaster that were not that good? Bolliger & Mabillard. Someone should give them a try.

[@toddjones1480]

B&M stayed not good. (except their flying and some hypers)

[@rcengineer]

It certainly looks good but I doubt it will be able to match a classic mine train. For example, the Phantasialand mine train, in addition to being well-themed, is also surprisingly fast, and has some alarmingly high banking for a coaster with buzz bars and bench seats, so it feels hazardous to ride it. I don't think this model will be able to recreate that. Also, if they want to call it a mine train, they need to somehow integrate wooden planks into the track design, like every other mine train.

[@tc6818]

I can see the LED lighting being used to create a false impression of speed by animating the lights faster than the train is actually moving. Throw in some blowers to give the sensation of wind and people might think they're doing 70 mph when they're really doing 30.

[@bassguitar1997]

Six flags magic mountain should get rid of gold rusher and add one of these

[@gerarddip]

Why does he keep saying “pasqueti bowl???” Lmao Is that the actual name??

[@CoasterStudios]

P’sghetti bowl is in fact the name of the ride model!

[@gerarddip]

@@CoasterStudios Ahh, I see. I wasn’t spelling it right when looking it up.

[@davefroman4700]

The #1 part that fails in all manufactured products? Is fasteners. This idea of a "Weld free" track is not going to be long lived. The more fasteners you have? The more likely it is that they are going to fail. Sorry but that is the engineer in me.

[@sm1tty.]

I imagine this is designed in such a way that maintenance would have a cycle to go through and inspect and replace fasteners over time, which is a trivial thing compared to repairing a welded track

[@davefroman4700]

@@sm1tty. Fasteners strip out over time. As do the rivnuts they are using to capture them. Sorry but this thing has maintenance headache written all over it after 3-4 years out in the elements. Not to mention that doing it with fasteners is actually more expensive than welding.

[@benhobson3084]

I was under the impression that this rivet technology was meant to reduce the impact of vibrations on welds.

[@davefroman4700]

@@benhobson3084 You can reliability, or serviceability, but you can't have both.

[@bluehoudini30]

Their design has already proven it's worth though.

[@spentron1]

Looks like no upstop wheel, just a angled side wheel. Which as a bit odd even with a mild ride, as the track is narrow.

[@julienvbz9361]

But , this not looks like old mine's tracks like old or current gen :(

[@Giftaddict]

The only thing that annoying me a bit is that we are losing the real mine train aspect (old look and bumpy track), it will be too much modern! On the other side it’s a great level up for the family coasters in general 😊

[@michaelonskis]

@@smpiano6605 I agree, the "mine train" aspect is defenitely a gimmick. Because they're tailoring this to FEC's too! It's not a mine train, they just want to make it as diverse as possible, so they claim it can be.

[@chrisgardiner2215]

Wait a sec. How can the track be weld free?????🤔🤔🤔

[@djstoplichtofficial]

Nuts n bolts

[@Brandon-qd2lb]

Just trying to think what park even needs this lol? Who wants to take the risk off an unproven company? FECs more than likely.

[@CoasterStudios]

They aren’t unproven. Skyline has done a lot of work for the amusement industry that is behind the scenes- not all of it is in the form of a big roller coaster. The technology they’d be using for this is very different from their Skywarps.

[@bluehoudini30]

Six Flags Over Georgia. Their Mine train is due for this kind of update.

[@t.2303]

First thing to change is the track.... Doesn't even look close to a mine train ride

[@Tamwyn107]

The LED lighting looks like a horror to maintain after some time. Could imagine that this just looks good, with dark track so you can’t see the gap between segments or at a dark indoor rollercoaster.

[@masonc73]

I hate these trains. So many people are going to sprain their ankles getting in/out of them. Why didn't they make the floor flat??
