HISTORY:
A large wooden rollar coaster in the classic style. Visitors are taken on a
bone shaking ride through the mines, hills and caves of the old west. The
caves will be dark and wet, the mines unstable and the hills very windy and
precarious.
LOCATION:
In Frontierland next to Splash Mountain. The second mountain in the area
with a real desert effect! From the entrance head down Main Street USA
and to the castle. Turn left into Adventureland and continues straight
along the path till you get to the mountains. Go over the bridge and
continue on to the Mountain at the far end.
ATTRACTION EXPERIENCE:
Get a rush from this high speed coaster through the barren lands of a desert.
Race up mountains and down into ravines, through bat filled caves and around
dino bones! You will get rattled to the bone and shook out of your skin at
speeds up to 30mph.
