Runaway Mine Train

All aboard the Runaway Mine Train at Alton Towers - It's out of control, so hold on tight!

Katanga Canyon is home to a network of caves and mines within its mighty rocks. It’s through these that the Runaway Mine Train track was laid out – but there’s no driver for this locomotive, it’s a totally wild ride!

This ride is fantastic fun for both kids and adults. The train will normally take you round two circuits per ride, but on quiet days you can go round for a third and even a fourth time!
