All Aboard, The Train is Leaving the Station
By Fossil
I was expecting the Mine Ride to be similar to the Mine Train, but it's completely different. The original Mine Train looks and performs like a 19th Century Industrial Age relic; the Mine Ride is a 20th Century Electric Experience.
When I first built this track, I was very concerned about crashes - the trains barrel into the station. It passed the ten-year stress test without problems.
The short, stubby footprint has been easy to place in the scenarios that I've tried so far. With a capacity of 75 guests, it can bring in lots of revenue - I had it producing over $30,000 an hour in one scenario.
