Performance

Vs. other coasters at Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park

The lift hills both have a loud and sharp jerk as the chain catches the train but otherwise it’s a smooth ride, much better than all the old Arrow mine trains it’s based on.

I was also worried about it being potentially rough, due to it being from Morgan and being an old coaster in general, but the park has maintained it well, and it runs pretty smooth.

Eli Lassiter Michael

I expected it to be rough but no it was actually pretty smooth.

Gibson Williams

The trains are among the most comfortable of any mine train.

Canobie Coaster

Its definitely better in the back because of the intensity and thrill of the drops and ride in general.

Gibson Williams

This is such a pleasant and well maintained mine train coaster which is perfect for little kids and adults.

This was my first Morgan coaster and I can tell you it’s a very fun family friendly experience ESPECIALLY night rides in the holiday/Christmas event park!

I remember it as a fun, winding mine train with some nice lateral G’s and good themeing, and from what I can tell that’s all still true.

Zee Williams, Captain Coaster review

There was some nice whip on the drop from the second lift hill in the back row, and it had pretty good pacing, which I wasn’t expecting because it didn’t look well paced from off the ride.

David, Captain Coaster review

Niche family mine coaster in a beautiful area and it’s cool it’s the only Morgan mine coaster.

Gibson Williams, Captain Coaster review

The ride was a nice blend of cool scenery, terrain hugging, and not being too scary for those of us who aren’t crazy coaster fanatics.
