River King Mine Train is a steel roller coaster in Gateway to the West at Six Flags St. Louis. It was manufactured by Arrow Development, and opened with the park on June 5, 1971.
As its name suggests, the ride is themed after a mine train traveling through property owned by the River King Mining Company of Missouri.
When the River King Mine originally opened, it featured two different tracks. The second track was later given stand-up trains and renamed the Rail Blazer, and after an accident it was then shipped away to another park, where it still operates today.
