    History

    Originally, Silbermine was supposed to open shortly after the rest of Silver City as the foundation was already layed in 1978. However, it was decided to first build the China Town area (1981) including Geister Rikscha. Finally, Silbermine opened in 1984 after the Zeittunnel opened on the top floor of the building the year before. Following the events of the devastating fire in 2001, some modifications like the removal of some theming had to be done. Due to Phantasialand's limited space the ride was removed at the end of the 2014 to make way for the Klugheim area.
