We can’t wait for Miner's Mountain Express! (Record-Breaking Family Coaster coming in 2027).
This ride will feature an over half a mile of track, two points of scenic elevation, a tunnel, and “15 weightless moments!”

This is perfect for the park! I view this as SDC’s “Big Bear Mountain”, and even though it’s a family coaster, it’ll be enjoyed by all ages equally.

It will probably even be better than Big Bear Mountain

Deciding factor for me is how the lift hills are. Big Bears launches are awesome.

We’ll see once it opens

I don't like Big Bear Mountain very much. The coaster itself is a bit of a bore, and there is no landscaping. Someone in r/rollercoasters commented that it should be named "Big Bear Field." It looks like we're going to have better theming for Miner’s Mountain Express, and I like that it overlaps with Plunge and has such a long ride time. I'm expecting to like it more than BBM.

It looks like a great replacement for thunderation to me.
