Cedar Creek Mine Ride • Cedar Point

Location

Though this is the lousiest Mine Train I've yet ridden, this ride is still fun, in a nice location, and I think it should stick around.

Duration Discomfort Dead spots

Basically your average arrow mine train, not very thrilling but should be good for families.

Location Duration Rattle Tear it down!

It's been a while since I've ridden this, but I remember it being a decent mine train. It was rattly and the transitions were pretty jerky, but that is to be expected and it was not too excessive. The location is quite nice, being placed over and around a pond. Even though this coaster has some Pros, I would like a high thrill attraction to replace it. There are already three better family coasters in the park (Blue Streak, Gemini, Iron Dragon), and this coaster sits on a nice plot of land that could fit a high thrill coaster (potentially using part of Adventure Island as well). That is why I say tear it down, but I don't mean it in a dramatic way.

Discomfort Tear it down! Lap Bar

Torture! If you are over 5'-10" tall or weigh anywhere close to 200lbs...RUN! Stay away. Don't even think about riding this coaster--especially if you are male. The "T" shaped lap bar on these only have one locking position. For me this was about 2-3 inches embedded into my groin. I seriously couldn't believe the pain I was in. I tried everything I could to re-position on the lift hill to no avail. I think I blacked out after that. I remember absolutely nothing about the ride itself. I had to sit on a bench for about 15-20 minutes to recover afterwards. If you are anywhere near the measurements I listed above, trust me, avoid this at all costs. Your man parts will thank you.

Location Discomfort

only good part is the last helix and the little trip over the water.

Biased review again, due to being somewhat overweight! I'll blame it on the Poutine... The restraints had to be properly jammed in to get me on this one, consequently very uncomfortable. If it weren't for that, I'd give a better rating.

Location Rattle Dead spots Layout

My least favorite Arrow Mine Train. Has a great location with the water but it suffers in all other categories. This ride didn’t really do anything and when it did it failed to do it comfortably. Mine trains like Thunderation at Silver Dollar City do it right where they have decent sized drops and fun helices while this doesn’t really do anything whatsoever.

Dead spots

A slow and relaxing ride, this is good if you need a cooldown, but as a ride, accomplishes next to nothing. It would be high on my chopping block to make way for a much-needed modern wooden coaster in its spot and across the river to Millennium Island.

Nice surprise! Intensity Theming Layout

Fun, intense on the helix, overall a nice surprise! Layout is fairly bad. Also fairly smooth on the wheel (train 2).

Capacity Location Dead spots Layout

It’s a fairly decent coaster as far as mine trains go. I didn’t loathe this one, but I didn’t particularly enjoy it either. I did it for the credit!

Pointless

Compared to more modern mine trains, this is an uncomfortable ride with lots of pointless breaks.

Where is the laterals option in the "pros" column? Arrow Mine Trains have a lot of those.
