Silver Dollar City announces family roller coaster, Miner's Mountain Express

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

From the press release:

Miner's Mountain Express invites guests aboard runaway mine cars racing across Daredevil Pass, dodging boulders, crossing rugged Ozarks terrain and plunging past a flooded mine shaft in search of a lost entrance to Marvel Cave. The adventure is inspired by the real Marble Cave Mining Company, which operated on the site in the 1880s. The cave was renamed Marvel Cave after prospectors discovered no marble at all. An authentic 15-story headframe from a working Missouri mine now stands above the ride, while more than a half a mile of track makes it the longest family coaster in the Midwest.

Miner's Mountain Express is part of a $150 million investment in Silver Dollar City's next chapter, which includes the Silver Dollar City Resort also opening in 2027. Together, the projects expand Silver Dollar City into an even more compelling multi-day destination while celebrating the Ozarks heritage that has defined the park for more than six decades.
