Dahlonega Mine Train, Steel roller coaster in Six Flags Over Georgia, US.
The Dahlonega Mine Train is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, a large amusement park near Atlanta. The track winds through wooded sections of the park, passing over low hills and through a short tunnel.
The ride was built by Arrow Dynamics and opened in 1967 as part of the original lineup when Six Flags Over Georgia first welcomed visitors. It has been running continuously since then, making it one of the oldest rides still operating at the park.
The ride is named after Dahlonega, a town in Georgia with roots in American mining history. Visitors experience this local connection through the mine-themed design of the attraction.
The ride is easy to spot from several parts of the park since the track passes through open wooded sections. Comfortable shoes are a good idea, as the ground around this area of the park can be uneven.
The coaster uses three separate chain lift systems at different points along the track, which is uncommon for a ride of this type and length. This setup gives the course several distinct rises and drops rather than one single long descent.
