The Runaway Mine Train is a powered steel roller coaster made by MACK Rides of Germany.
The ride is located in the Katanga Canyon area of Alton Towers in Staffordshire, England.
The ride runs alongside the Congo River Rapids, with which it shares a tunnel section.
It is currently the park's oldest roller coaster, after The Beastie was removed prior to the 2013 season.
On 20 July 2006, the failure of a coupling on the train caused it to split into two sections, which then collided in the tunnel.
