Mine Train
Are you ready for your first roller coaster adventure? Then hop on the Mine Train. This family coaster is perfect for young cowboys and cowgirls looking for an exciting ride. According to rcdb it is a Junior Coaster by the Dutch manufacturer Vekoma, opened in 2001.
The concept
The Mine Train takes you to the mines of the Wild West, where the gold prospectors rode their carts through the tunnels. The train, with a locomotive at the front, winds between the rocks and the wooden structures. For a moment you feel like a real miner.
The Experience
During the ride you race through the mines with sharp bends and changes in height. The train reaches speeds of up to 40 km/h. You do not go upside down, but the ride does give you butterflies in your stomach. According to rcdb a ride lasts about a minute, long enough to want to go again straight away.

First roller coaster
The Mine Train is ideal as a first roller coaster for children. It does not go upside down.
With supervision
Children between 0.90 and 1.10 metres can ride with someone aged 14 or over.
Gold Rush next?
Found the Mine Train too easy and are you at least 1.30 metres? Then Gold Rush is waiting for you.
Visitor information
To ride the Mine Train on your own, you must be at least 1.10 metres tall. Children between 0.90 and 1.10 metres can ride under the supervision of someone aged 14 or over. In certain weather conditions the attraction may open later, close earlier or stay closed. Do you have a disability? Then pick up a yellow or purple access wristband from Guest Service. With it you go in through a separate entrance; it does not give priority.
A stepping stone to more
The Mine Train is the perfect stepping stone to the bigger attractions. A next step is the Zilveren Route of Sky Sifter, from 1.20 metres.
