America's Most Legendary Family Coaster

Opening in 2027, Miner's Mountain Express is a mine-train adventure dug from a true Ozarks story. On "the most daring ride down the mountain" kids, parents and grandparents board runaway mine cars together and race across the rugged Ozarks terrain surrounding Daredevil Pass. As they search for a lost entrance to Marvel Cave, they'll dodge rocky obstacles and brave a flooded mine shaft along the way. 

The Most Daring Ride Down The Mountain

Celebrating the grit and determination that built the Ozarks, Miner's Mountain Express is an adventure designed for generations of families to embark on together—racing through the history, mystery and determination that inspired the creation of America’s #1 Theme Park.

Introducing New Daredevil Pass

With the opening of Miner's Mountain Express at Silver Dollar City, two distinct areas of the park known to thrill-seekers will now be connected in one loop—Daredevil Pass! This exciting new section of The City will be a concentrated coaster hub and the go-between for riders looking for the fastest way from PowderKeg® to Miner's Mountain Express, WildFire® & American Plunge.

The towering focal point of Daredevil Pass is an authentic 15-story headframe from a working Missouri mine which soars over the ride entrance inviting families to come join the adventure. The headframe now stands as the tallest point in The City.
