\n\t\t\t\"Runaway\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t[vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]Choo Choo! Climb aboard and tackle the shaky track of the Runaway train. Set in the heart of Katanga Canyon<\/strong>, you’ll find a set of deep and dark tunnels, in and around the Canyon. But what’s hiding down there? You should go and find out… Especially those who are looking for a beginners ride.<\/p>\n

BOOM there’s been an explosion! What’s happened? The train has broken loose and is now thundering down the track, a speeding locomotive<\/strong> powered roller coaster on a rampage, racing around woodlands, through tunnels and around fast-paced bends. Will it be able to slow down? You’ll race around the 1000ft track TWICE<\/strong> as you get the feel of every twist and turn. Don’t forget to smile for the camera!<\/p>\n

A spectacular coaster that has entertained families for decades! Having opened in 1992<\/strong>, Alton Towers<\/a> Runaway Mine Train has become the oldest rollercoaster at the theme park. And is known to be an enjoyable ride, loved by families no matter what age, especially when it zooms around at maximum speed![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]\n
