Runaway Train, Steel roller coaster in Chessington World of Adventures, United Kingdom
The Runaway Train roller coaster stretched through rocky caves and western-themed environments, following a figure-eight track layout with multiple helixes.
Opening in 1987 as Runaway Mine Train, the attraction underwent rebranding in 1998 to prevent confusion with another ride called Rattlesnake.
Located in Calamity Canyon, the roller coaster represented the American Old West through buildings, decorative elements, and mining themes.
The Mack Rides manufactured coaster operated without inversions, making it suitable for families seeking moderate thrills at the adventure park.
The attraction included on-ride photography to capture guest reactions while racing through detailed mining environments until its closure in 2012.
