    Description

    Riders of the Gold Mine would board a mine cart and set off for a ride though a Gold Mine. The ride also shared a scene with the River Caves, partly located in the same building.

    Gold Mine used two coupled 4-person mine carts, allowing for 8 people per combined vehicle.

    History

    One of the former cars can be seen on park as a flower bed.
