Runaway Mine Train is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. It was the park's first steel coaster, and was built by Arrow Dynamics.
Runaway Mine Train starts off with a lift as high as Medusa's cobra roll near Medusa's entrance, then spirals into a descending double helix (still above ground). After that is a straight path, and the train drops into another helix on the ground. The train rises back up to a very short straight track and goes into bunny hops, one of them almost making you believe you'll go into the water. The train rises and curves back into the station.
For the 2006 season, Runaway Mine Train's track was repainted with brighter colors and the trains were fitted with new individual lap-bar restraints.
