Runaway Mine Train, Steel roller coaster in Jackson, New Jersey
The Runaway Mine Train features a red track stretching 2429 feet with a 60-foot chain lift hill and reaches speeds of 38 miles per hour.
Opening with Six Flags Great Adventure in 1974, this Arrow Dynamics creation marked the park's introduction of steel roller coaster technology to its attractions.
In 2019, the park decorated one train with handprints from cancer survivors through a partnership with RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers Cancer Institute.
The roller coaster operates with trains containing five cars that accommodate 28 riders, processing up to 1000 visitors every hour.
The 1995 renovation brought new motors, cars, and computer systems, marking the first project of engineer Larry Chickola at Six Flags.
