What riders love
  • It also has a great location being right there along the rocks.
  • With its terrain interaction and smooth, fast paced layout, it stands out as an example of what Arrow could have been if it didn't go under.
  • It has as intense, thrilling layout that drives off the quarry wall and has a couple very aggressive helices that bring the trade marked intensity that the legend Alan schilke is known for!
  • This is just a nice little family coaster and the only one my dad was willing to go on at the park.
  • A really strong effort for a family coaster with solid theming, some nice twists and turns including multiple helixes (I think), and an extended duration that weaves into the quarry setting and keeps you engaged throughout.
  • It's such a fun ride with a nice pop of ejector in there.
  • Awesome family coaster! I might even consider it a thrill coaster.
  • Seems to be a bit more intense and smooth than most.

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Fiesta Texas

I went on this ride when I was around 6/7 and all I can remember is feeling like I was going to fly out of my seat lmao.

@seonjamie3059

...be pushed down a bit tight, so just be aware of that in case that bothers you; though there s little to no airtime to be had on this coaster to begin with, so it shouldn t make much of a difference.

With its terrain interaction and smooth, fast paced layout, it stands out as an example of what Arrow could have been if it didn’t go under.

Eric Esty

Combined with the brutal Texas heat, the way this ride throws you around makes for a pretty uncomfortable experience.

Arrow Die-Namics

The quarry location is cool and there are some elements with a little bit of force but I thought most of the ride didn’t do that much and there were a few jerky and uncomfortable moments.

Carter Eckhart

It was way more intense that I thought it was gonna be, and the way it interacts with the quarry wall is great.

Christian Ortiz

It actually has decent intensity for a mine train coaster, but I just didn’t enjoy it.

Arrow Die-Namics

Seems to be a bit more intense and smooth than most.

Chris Jones

It has as intense, thrilling layout that drives off the quarry wall and has a couple very aggressive helices that bring the trade marked intensity that the legend Alan schilke is known for!

As an adult, this drop is tame compared to most bigger coasters and is just a solid, drawn out drop for a family coaster.

Roller Coasters of Thailand

This is just a nice little family coaster and the only one my dad was willing to go on at the park.

Kellen Grady

So when you’re diving off a cliff, you are going pretty fast and it gets pretty bad.

Lightning Productions

I cried on this ride it is so fast I don’t think I ever ride it again

@iizy_ll

It was slow and the intensity was at a minimum.

Kyle Montgomery

On many days you can switch rows on Road Runner and ride it half a dozen times in a row, especially if they are running two trains.

Roadrunner Express is one of the best Arrow Mine Train coasters.
