Silver Dollar City Unveils Miner’s Mountain Express Family Coaster for 2027

The ride features more than a half mile of track and 15 airtime moments as part of a $150 million expansion.

  • On Friday, Silver Dollar City announced Miner's Mountain Express, a new family roller coaster opening in spring 2027 that will be the longest family coaster in the Midwest.
  • Silver Dollar City Company President Brad Thomas said the project is part of a $150 million investment as the park celebrates 66 years in business and retires the Thunderation coaster.
  • An authentic 15-story headframe from a Missouri mine anchors the new Daredevil Pass area, where the coaster spans more than 3,500 feet of track with 15 airtime moments, the most on any ride at the park.
  • Designed with MACK Rides of Waldkirch, Germany, the attraction features legendary mining foreman Jedidiah 'Jed' Campbell and invites guests to search for a lost entrance to Marvel Cave, a United States Registered Natural Landmark.
  • In 2027 and beyond, the coaster and the upcoming Silver Dollar City Resort will expand the park as a multi-day destination, inviting guests from every state to discover the Ozarks.
