Mini Mine Train is a small steel mine train roller coaster in the Boomtown section of Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas. Arrow Development built it, and it opened in 1969. The park presents it as a beginner coaster for its youngest riders.
The ride winds through a cave-like mine past frontier miner figures, with swerving descents, quick turns and switchbacks, and the park says all its climbs and drops are under 20 feet. RCDB gives a height of 20 feet, a chain lift, three tunnels and no inversions. The park lists 810 feet of track and a ride of about one minute; RCDB gives 1 minute 10 seconds. Trains have five cars and carry 20 riders.
Riders must be at least 42 inches tall, or 36 inches when accompanied by an adult.
