Episode Details

Get ready for Miner’s Mountain Express, Silver Dollar City’s brand-new roller coaster set to blast into action in spring 2027—inspired by a real Ozarks mining legend that led miners to Marvel Cave instead of marble. This half-mile-long, three-minute thrill ride delivers 15 airtime moments, making it the longest family coaster in the Midwest, with a 39-inch height minimum (if accompanied by an adult). Designed to feel like you’re hurtling through runaway mine cars, dodging obstacles and hunting for a lost cave entrance, it’s packed with authentic theming honoring the Marble Cave Mining Company—and even features a fictional foreman, Jedidiah Campbell, whose motto screams perseverance. Built by German ride specialists MACK Rides (creators of the park’s Time Traveler), this isn’t just a coaster—it’s a full-blown immersive adventure tied to Silver Dollar City’s roots. And it’s just one piece of a $150 million expansion that also includes a brand-new resort, all opening in 2027 to redefine the park’s future.
