Silver Dollar City has announced a new family coaster called Miner's Mountain Express, set to open in 2027.
Based on a true Ozarks story, Miner's Mountain Express is located in the park's Daredevil Pass and will be the longest family coaster in the Midwest.
Guests will board runaway mine cars before dodging boulders, crossing rugged terrain and racing past a flooded mine shaft in search of a lost entrance to Marvel Cave.
The ride experience includes two towering lift hills and 15 airtime moments – more than any other coaster at Silver Dollar City.
"For over 65 years, Silver Dollar City has entertained our guests through fun story-based adventures," said Brad Thomas, president of the Silver Dollar City Company.
"This family coaster has been designed so that multiple generations of families can enjoy the mountain-themed adventure together."

Erica Rutledge, senior creative director at Herschend Creative Studios, said: "For Miner’s Mountain Express, we asked ourselves how families could step into the park’s own origin story, which literally began with a hole in the ground called Marvel Cave.
"Every building, every tool and every detail was thoughtfully designed to honor the people who came before us while creating an unforgettable adventure for today's families."
Miner's Mountain Express is part of a $150 million investment in Silver Dollar City's next chapter, which includes the Silver Dollar City Resort, also opening in 2027.
"Annually, Silver Dollar City welcomes visitors from every state in America," added Thomas.
"In 2027 and beyond, this family coaster and our all-new resort continue our growth strategy to invite even more guests to discover the Ozarks for their vacations and getaway weekends."
Opening in spring 2027, Miner's Mountain Express is a custom collaboration between Silver Dollar City and Mack Rides.
