Hope they never get rid of this ride, it was and is still a favorite and I think nostalgic, and a good intro coaster for kids to test their bravery & tolerance up to the bigger coasters 💛💛💛💛💛 and those rickety corkscrew sections are just so great

I used to work at SFSL. I've had to stand in that perch at the top of the lift hill for hours. Sometimes the ride leads would just forget about you. You're not supposed to use the phone unless it's an emergency and you can't just leave either. It's one of those things that I look back on now and laugh, but at the time was just awful!!

[@blakewoods9044]

I always notice that person. What exactly does the person at the perch do?

[@LarryDarkMite2]

@@blakewoods9044 Make sure no idiots try to stand up or jump out.

You poor soul 🥺

[@jonny-b4954]

@@LarryDarkMite2 Yeah, old school Arrow operations manual. So, the park still operates it that way to this day. Arrow did that with their log flumes but not many of their mine trains have them. I'd assume because this was one of the first. I doubt it even have has up-stop wheels but probably has up-stop pads, haha. It's funny how we look back on things fondly or nostalgic when they were meh at best at the time.

At night I did this ride I was so terrified I got out of my comfort zone to try it my mom was holding on to me so I didn’t fall and I was literally screaming on the top of my lungs when we went in the dark part after I got off the rides my legs felt like gelato (I was with my two moms)

I went on this ride at this EXACT place in st louis just a few days ago

[@MagicalGirlEnterprises]

This was my very first roller coaster! To this day, I'm still caught off-guard by the dip in the tunnel and the extremely loud lift hill out of it.

[@lildrip_73.3k]

I was screaming so loud and hard when the coaster went down the mine shaft

[@madiesworld4493]

I love going on the mine train SOO much. Especially at night time!

This coaster is a great warmup when you first get there....then after youve gotten warmed up, hop right onto The Ninja.

[@mikemontgomery8407]

Does that whistle sound automatically or someone using the whistle
