The park web site described this as a roller coaster "style" ride. I think this is a fare assessment. it does have some fast sections and drops, but the layout is designed around the scenery, to take you around that. it's not all the way adrenalin thrills like you'd expect from a coaster.

The scenery on this ride is absolutely first class. O.K. some of the models are showing there age slightly (one of which looks like Freddy Kruger) but they are very well done, on a good scale. The idea of the ride is to recreate the sensation of hurtling around a gold mine, in an out of control fashion, and it achieves it. It may not be the most intense white knuckle ride out there, but it creates a very exciting experience.
