The River King Mine Train 4900 Six Flags Road, Eureka, MO 63025

"This Mine Train is a great family coaster with fun turns and a great last drop! the seats might be a little small for tall people but its still great!"

"The coaster was an old coaster that despite it's age was still a ton of fun to ride. It's the oldest coaster inside the park. The coaster deserves at least 4 stars (if not 5), but the way park management was running the coaster was pathetic. There was over an hour long wait for the coaster and they were only running a single train!! The ride operators were fairly slow loading and unloading trains too, but this does have to be done manually on this coaster so I wasn't too upset by that. The final nail in the coffin though was not having a team member sorting guests. Nearly every train had 1-3 rows (rows not seats) completely empty. The lack of efficiency made for a terribly frustrating and long wait."

"The River King Mine Train is still a fun roller coaster experience after more than half a century. I'm quite amazed how smooth many parts of the ride still are. But, don't expect a crazy out of control roller coaster experience. This is an old, small but enjoyable ride. For a more thrilling roller coaster experience; check out the other options in the park."

"Classic mine train experience. The trains are uncomfortable but the ride is still fun. There is usually never a line. People with really long legs might have trouble fitting under the lap bar that comes down. Make sure to hold on if you don’t want to be slammed into the side of the seat."

"The River King mine train opened with the park in 1971, themed after an actual mine that operated in Illinois until 1989. Sadly this roller coaster no longer races each other. The other half (Big Bad John) is located at Magic Springs. This ride is a pure classic and has feels fairly smooth for its age compared to its older brothers in Georgia and Texas. The best part of the ride is final drop down in the mine shaft. This is also a good coaster not only for young kids who meet the hight requirement, but also fun for adults as this coaster reaches 37 mph, which is not bad for only standing 32 feet tall! I recommend this ride for anyone, as long as they don’t mind the bumps in rides first half."
