Traditional mine train roller coaster track elements include several banked turns and helices.

Often, a mine train roller coaster will make its way through trees, tunnels, rock formations, and over small bodies of water.

Built by Arrow Development in 1966, Mine Train is the oldest roller coaster in the park.

[1] With Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland (built in 1959 also by Arrow), it is one of the first roller coasters with tubular steel tracks.

Other notable mine train roller coasters are Colorado Adventure in Phantasialand, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in various Disney parks, Thunder Run in Canada's Wonderland, Cedar Creek Mine Ride at Cedar Point, Adventure Express at Kings Island, and Thunderation in Silver Dollar City near Branson, Missouri.
