History Main / RollercoasterMine

* In ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', Joseph Joestar makes ingenious use of the trope.

* The ''Runaway Mine Train'' ride at Ride/AltonTowers uses this theme, and as of 2013 is the oldest roller coaster still operating at the park.

** ''Lucky Luke: Go West!'' (''Tous à l'Ouest'', 2007) has probably the most ludicrous example, with a very lengthy sequence featuring a good dozen of carts all full of people chasing after the Daltons in an incredibly large mine with complex railways that would put to shame any modern rollercoaster, fully crashing into {{Bizarrchitecture}} and GravityScrew at times.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'': Capper guiding the Mane Six through Klugetown includes a short ride on a mine cart, including a jump above a broken part of the rails.

* ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'' animated movies:
** ''WesternAnimation/LaBalladeDesDalton'' (1978): The Daltons try to find an old-timer by climbing into a mine-cart and have a rollercoaster ride complete with Averell getting somehow some cotton-candy.

* ''[[Animation/TheMindsEye Odyssey into the Mind's Eye]]'' has a segment in "Volatile Planet" in which the camera perspective rides a mining cart traveling chaotically through a mining facility. Built ''inside an active volcano''. This bizarre case is semi-justified by reality; the segment in question is the video half of an actual theme park ride.

* The ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' episode "Island of the Giant Pokemon." Justified in that it's actually a theme park, though no one realizes this during the main course of the episode.

* The 2008 version of ''Film/JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth'' has one. Which was in 3-D no less.

* A unused scene that didn't make it past the {{Storyboard}} for ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' had Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona end up on a mine cart ride full of references to Disneyland rides.

* Replace the mine cars and tracks with bare-assed sliding through ice tunnels, and you've got the cavern scenes from ''WesternAnimation/IceAge''.

* In the ending of ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996'', Roger has designs a video game about dalmatian puppies riding a mine cart and fighting Cruella as the final boss.

* A deleted scene from ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' had Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona end up on a mine cart ride full of references to Disneyland rides.

* In the ending of ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996'', Roger has designed a video game about dalmatian puppies riding a mine cart and fighting Cruella as the final boss.

* In the ending of ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmations'', Roger has designed a video game about the puppies battling Cruella on a mine cart ride.

* A deleted scene from ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' had Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona end up on a mine cart ride full of references to several Disney amusement park rides.

* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' allows you to build these, and at one point the front page of its website touted this as a major selling point. ''LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}'' Website/YouTube [[Machinima/YogscastMinecraftSeries series]] ''Machinima/ShadowOfIsraphel'' provides a good example, with [[spoiler:Knight_Peculier]] dying in one.

* Gringotts Bank in the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series.

* The climax of ''Podcast/TheAdventureZoneBalance'''s ''The Eleventh Hour'' arc has Tres Horny Boys and Roswell racing down mineshafts while pursued by a [[spoiler: colossal purple worm.]]

* [[Ride/CedarFairEntertainment Cedar Point]]'s Cedar Creek Mine Ride is actually one of the tamer coasters at the park, and favored by riders who aren't quite up to Millennium Force or Top Thrill Dragster.
* The page quote is from a motion simulator ride called ''The Devil's Mine'' which is based on this trope.

''VideoGame/LegoIndianaJones'' has one of these since the game covers the first three Indiana Jones movies.

* ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'' has a brief RollercoasterMine sequence near the end of its WildWest section.

->''"Well I'll be! You made it through! You're the first to come back alive in a long time! Wait...[[RollercoasterMine You wanna see it again]]? Huh?! [[EvilLaugh Ah ha ha ha ha ha]]!"''

** ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'' for the Master System/Game Gear has Underground Zone.

* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' is the TropeCodifier, its famous minecart scene is the inspiration for most other examples on this page. [[OlderThanTheyThink Though they weren't the first ones to do it]]; see the first ''Lucky Luke'' example above.

** ''Ride/BigThunderMountainRailroad'' is built around this trope. Indeed, this is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mine_Train_roller_coaster a not-uncommon type of roller coaster.]]

* Cedar Point's Cedar Creek Mine Ride is actually one of the tamer coasters at the park, and favored by riders who aren't quite up to Millennium Force or Top Thrill Dragster.

* ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'': In ''The Ballad of the Daltons'', an old gold digger rigs his mine into one of these as a trap for the Daltons.

* The Creator/{{Sega}} UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame ''Rail Chase'' is entirely this. An actual roller coaster based on the game was one of the attractions at the short-lived Sega World theme park.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'', Red Puckett and the Wolf come close to encountering each other in a gold mine with roller coaster-type mine tracks.
* Replace the mine cars and tracks with bare-assed sliding through ice tunnels, and you've got the cavern scenes from ''WesternAnimation/IceAge''.

* ''WesternAnimation/HomeOnTheRange'' has this when they capture Alameda Slim.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'': Capper guiding the Mane Six through Klugetown includes a short ride on a mine cart, including a jump above a broken part of the rails.
