Climb aboard the runaway mine train. It twists and turns getting faster and faster. You must be at least 0.9m to ride. If you are under 1.1m you must ride with an adult (18+).

The unique train I rode before this was "Tibidabo Express" (at Tibidabo Amusement Park , Barcelona, Spain) and I liked this much more :O Theming is spectacular!
Great fun ride that my two little ones love. You can ride this from 90cm high so it's a great introduction into thrill rides . There's a nice little positive G feeling at the bottom of the spiral :).
Quite a good ride to bridge the gap between the kids coasters and adult coasters. It's quick, but no loops or serious stuff. Great for nervous little ones before throwing them onto Rita or Nemesis!
If you have a Merlin pass get in at 9am and you can go round about four times without getting off! No queues!!
Got told somebody died on this as I was on it. Awesome ride though
Well at least you get two circuits...
As the lady said #choochoo
It was a good ride.
Trying to be like the runaway train in Disney but not quite.
Choo..... Chooo....
Queues actually move pretty fast on here. Displayed waiting time was 40 but got through in 20. Worth the wait if it's only that long. - Makinder Chahal
Awesome hotel make sure to dance in the lifts and have a bit of everything in the restaurant it's all good - Stuart Provan
Beware of the public water shooters near the end. Also, use the public water shooters near the end. - Trevor Morris
Without a doubt, in my opinion still the BEST ride at Alton Towers... - Mike Scheerer
