Of course, Modern Wild Mouse rides, of which Coaster Rider certainly is, built in 2013, are far safer than the old wooden, and we are not even sure if our childhood suspicions of the danger were true, but they still feel inherently unsafe and that’s all part of the charm.Ĭoast Rider is a Typical Wil Mouse with a long ride to the top and a fun drop and then a long windy route to the bottom through a series of fun switchbacks. ![]() The way the ride cars operate really adds credence to these myths as the cars fling their way down the track. This adds real jeopardy to the proceedings and makes any Wild Mouse ride quite thrilling. We love Wild Mouse Coasters and have always grown up with the tales of how these rides are the most dangerous and how cars can fly off the tracks at any given moment. Queues are often short and the ride is well worth a look, as we say, it doesn’t look great but it’s a lot of fun. Because it’s launched there are no lift hills or drops, but the track is built into the side of a hill so the track runs pretty high up in the air. The Track itself is pretty short but quite fun, the 38mph launch feels much faster than the low top speed suggests. It’s actually really secure as a strange robotic bondage-esque restraint system raises up trapping your feet, and presses against your back, but it feels pretty open and exposed greatly increasing the thrill and fun of the ride. Here you sit astride a model horse a bit like a Carousel, but instead of gently bobbing up and down, you are launched at 39mph around a coaster track, so it feels pretty exposed and extreme. Part of the thrill comes from the ride vehicle. Pony Express is pretty unimposing and looks a pretty tame horsey ride, but we were really surprised by how fun a ride on the horses really was. It has been fully restored and looks really good…it’s actually a really fun little dark ride and an incredible piece of history. Inside the mine, you will find colorful displays of the Mining environment, detailed animatronic characters toiling away in the dark, and beautiful natural cave formations. The idea is simple, jump in a Mine Train and take a tour of the inside of a mountain Mine. The Disney Dark Ride is an Icon of the industry and it all started on this unassuming little train track. Walt Disney made no secret of watching Bud’s new idea and then ripping it off in his own parks. ![]() What we have here, is the FIRST Dark Ride! In just about every theme park around the world Dark Rides are now a mainstay of the amusement park industry, and this is where it all started. This is one of the most revolutionary rides in existence! It’s just the revolution has already happened, and this ride is now basically a Museum Piece. ![]() However, you would be wrong, at least on the revolutionary part. We know this is hardly the most extreme ride in the park, You may think it’s slow, fairly dull, and not exactly revolutionary.
